The Stage expects savings after replacing 300 light bulbs

Warsaw venue The Stage has replaced nearly 300 incandescent bulbs on its marquee with more efficient LED bulbs using a grant worth about $2,200 from NYSEG. The project, completed last week, is expected to see significant savings in utility costs for the non-profit performing arts center, according to Paul Penner, the center's director. The LEDs are expected to use about one-tenth of the power that the incandescent bulbs used. "This will save us a huge amount on our electric bill," Penner said, noting the cost of lighting the marquee used to account for half of the total electric bill for the 23 South Main Street venue
