Free Energy Star LED Light Bulbs For Hamden Residents

HAMDEN, CT - From Energize Connecticut: Mayor Curt Leng has partnered with United Illuminating Clean Energy Communities program to sponsor a town-wide initiative dedicated to reducing energy usage and helping members of the Hamden community save money through the Energize Connecticut initiative. Hamden residents are invited to trade their old incandescent light bulbs for four free 60-watt equivalent ENERGY STAR® LED bulbs during one of two light bulb exchanges this October.

To participate, residents should bring at least two incandescent light bulbs to either:

Miller Memorial Library Farmer’s Market

2901 Dixwell Avenue

Thursday, October 5, 2017

4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Hamden Home Depot

1873 Dixwell Avenue

Saturday, October 14, 2017

10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To be eligible, Hamden residents should present the mailed announcement letter or a valid form of identification. Free LED light bulbs are limited to one four-pack per household and available only while supplies last.

One LED light bulb can last up to 25 times longer and use up to 90 percent less electricity than an old-fashioned incandescent. During a similar event in 2015, nearly 1,500 bulbs were distributed to more than 700 Hamden households helping the town collectively save approximately $350,000.
