What Other Switches Can We Make?

Switch Your Christmas Lights to LED’s:

Although holiday lights are used for only a few months a year, you can still save lots of energy if you switch to LED holiday lights.  For example, the amount of electricity consumed by just ONE 7-watt incandescent bulb could power 140 LEDs!

 Make this holiday an energy efficient one.


Encourage an office switchover:

If your office uses T12 lights, you can save big by switching to a T8 – a lamp that uses less energy and offers the same amount of light!  Check out the options here:  (and then link to Philips commercial lighting?)

Encourage a city switchover:

Because Streetlights are used 24x7 they consume a lot of energy.  By switching traffic signals to LEDs, cities can save big on their energy bills, and because LEDs last longer, they’ll save money on replacement servicing too!
