The Department of Energy is pleased to announce the official launch of the LED Exchange Programme, effective today, 1 May, 2019.
Beginning today and continuing as long as supplies last, members of the public are encouraged to bring one incandescent light bulb to participating retailers in exchange for one energy-efficient LED bulb, free of charge.
After conducting research with local retailers, the Department of Energy found that a standard 60-Watt A19 bulb is the most popular choice among customers. A 60-Watt bulb generates approximately $46 per year if used for five hours each day. An LED light bulb equivalent will only generate around $6.90 per year. Switching to an LED bulb generates a savings of about 85% in energy usage annually.
The Department of Energy and the Ministry of Home Affairs hopes that all residents will take advantage of the LED Exchange Programme to contribute to a greener, more energy-efficient Bermuda.
