Get Up to Five, Free LED Lightbulbs at Libraries in April and May
Posted on March 14, 2018 in All News, Environment, Libraries, To Know
To save you money and protect the planet, we’re giving away up to five, free LED lightbulbs at six Fairfax County libraries in April and May.
“We’re giving away replacement LEDs because it’s a small change that makes a big impact for residents and the environment,” said Jessica Lavender, Energy Action Fairfax program manager. “About 80 percent of households still use incandescent bulbs—but now that prices for LEDs have dropped significantly, it’s the perfect time to make the switch.”
Get a free LED — and if you bring in up to four of your incandescent or compact fluorescent lightbulbs, we’ll exchange them for LEDs. The ENERGY STAR®-certified LEDs we’re giving away offer a warm white light that’s equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent lightbulb.
Not only will you save money by getting free LEDs, but also you’ll pocket money from lower electric bills. You could cut your utility bill by at least $25 per year by replacing five traditional, incandescent bulbs with LEDs.
LED prices have declined 85 percent in recent years, and bulbs can be bought for as little as $2 to $5.
The giveaway is a partnership between Energy Action Fairfax, a county program to help residents become energy efficient, and the library.
