Greenwich And Eversource Host Light Bulb Swap This Month
The free event is scheduled for Dec. 16.
From Eversource and the Town of Greenwich: GREENWICH, CT — On December 16, Eversource and the Town of Greenwich will host a free community-wide light bulb swap from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Town Hall Meeting Room at Town Hall, located at 101 Field Point Road.
Greenwich residents, with identification, may bring up to five incandescent light bulbs in any condition and exchange them for new, energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® LED bulbs, free of charge while supplies last. Additional LEDs and lighting products will be available for purchase at a discounted rate.
“As part of our Clean Energy program, the Conservation Commission is very happy to be co-sponsoring our third light bulb swap for our residents,” said Denise Savageau, Conservation Director. “The winter solstice is near and we are experiencing the darkest time of the year. It is the perfect time to swap out your lights bulbs, learn about other home energy savings programs and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.”
