June 27 LED Bulb Swap

The Cambridge Energy Alliance and Mothers Out Front are hosting a free bulb swap, where residents can exchange up to three incandescent or CFL lightbulbs for energy-efficient LED lightbulbs. This is one in a series of bulb swaps this spring. LED bulbs use 5-6 times less energy than incandescent bulbs and 40% less energy than CFL bulbs, resulting in significant savings on energy bills. In addition to financial savings, LED bulbs are mercury-free and can last up to 20 years.

The swaps are free and open to all Cambridge residents. The events will offer standard A19 LEDs, which fit most lamps and fixtures, and BR30 LEDs, typically used for recessed lighting, both in 60 watt equivalents. Exchanges are limited to 3 bulbs per household to ensure supply for all participants.
