Clean Energy InitiativeChange a Light...
“Change A Light...Change the World" is part of the US Environmental Protection Agency's national campaign "Change The World...Start With ENERGY STAR."
This campaign encourages all Americans to join with millions of others and take small, individual steps that make a big difference in the fight against global warming. Through the combined efforts of the U.S. government, grassroots organizations and citizens like you, what started as a day of national environmental recognition has evolved into a worldwide campaign to protect our global environment.

LIPA CFL Rebate
LIPA is participating in the Change A Light campaign and is offering a
special lighting promotion to LIPA customers. Between September 1 and November
30, residential customers are eligible to receive 50 cents off eligible ENERGY
STAR qualified CFLs at participating retail stores. CFLs in single packs will be
50 cents off while CFLs in multiple bulb packages will be up to $4 off.
Where to use ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs?
To get the most
energy savings, replace bulbs where lights are on the most, such as your family
and living room, kitchen, dining room, and porch. Place bulbs in open fixtures
that allow air flow and, if replacing a bulb operating on a dimmer switch, look
for bulbs specifically designed for this use.
How to choose ENERGY STAR qualified lighting?
To
choose the ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb or fixture with the
right amount of light, choose one that offers the same lumen
rating as the light you're replacing. Manufacturers will often
label their packaging in terms of watt replacement, which can
also guide your decision-making.
