Operation Lamp Exchange

Customers of Southern California Edison who want to participate in Operation Lamp Exchange, an energy efficiency program that allows SCE residential customers to exchange inefficient halogen and incandescent light fixtures for new, free Energy Star labeled lamps, should get to Torrance early Sunday morning before SCE runs out of free lamps.

A record-breaking 5,400 lamps were exchanged during Saturday's event and SCE predicts their lamp stock will be gone by 10 a.m. The event begins at 8 a.m. tomorrow in the Kmart parking lot, 19330 Hawthorne Blvd., Torrance. Lamps are available on first-come, first-served basis.

SCE customers may bring in a combination of up to 10 old:

• Halogen Torchieres, or
• Incandescent Floor Lamps, or
• Incandescent Table Lamps, or
• Incandescent Desk Lamps

and exchange them for free new energy-efficient fluorescent plug-in lamp fixtures of the same type. 

Participants must show they are an SCE residential customer by bringing their SCE bill and/or CA driver's license with their zip code falling within SCE service territory.

You can see view the energy efficient lams at the Southern California Edison website.
