New London Hosts Free Light Bulb Swap

Mark your calendar for a free light bulb swap. Trade out up to five incandescent light bulbs for new energy efficient LED bulbs at no cost on Saturday, April 9th at the New London Senior Center at 120 Broad Street. Energy experts from Eversource will be on hand to help answer questions about how to keep your home energy efficient and save money. LED light bulbs are a good start. “A single LED bulb has a life expectancy of 23 years, uses up to 80 percent less energy, and can save homeowners as much as $10 per year versus a traditional incandescent bulb, which has about a 1.5 to 2.5 year lifespan,” Eversource’s Energy Efficiency spokesman Enoch Lenge said. “The LED giveaway is a great opportunity for New London residents and we encourage them to look into our popular HES program as well.”
