COOL Committee Promoting LED Lightbulbs| 11:54AM / Monday, April 21, 2014 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williamstown COOL Committee is launching a campaign to promote LED lightbulbs.
LEDs (light-emitting diode bulbs) are the most efficient bulbs on the market. They use 80 to 85 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 40 times longer. LED bulbs generate substantially less heat than other bulbs and contain no mercury. LEDs call for a larger up front investment but because of their longevity they are more cost effective than incandescent or compact fluorescent.
The COOL Committee will be selling LED bulbs at upcoming outreach venues for the reduced price of $5, and will have educational material and sample bulbs available for viewing. Only one bulb per household is available at the promotional price (limited quantities available) but additional bulbs can be purchased locally at Aubuchon Hardware and online at efi.org.
Residents can also get a free LED bulb with a no cost utility sponsored home energy assessment from Mass Save. The Mass Save program provides resources to help weatherize your home and upgrade your appliances.
Purchase discounted bulb at the following locations:
Images Cinema’s showing of "Winged Migration": Monday, April 21
Wild Oats Community Market: April 22, 12:30-5 p.m.
Milne Public Library May: May 3
