UC launches Million Light Bulb Challenge community buy program

If the high cost of good LED light bulbs — or the confusing array of options in the market — are standing in the way of your office switching to the low-energy choice, the University of California has a solution: the new Million Light Bulb Challenge community buy program. Launched this week with support from the university’s Carbon Neutrality Initiative, the program allows all UC students, staff, faculty and alumni to purchase light bulbs at nearly half the price of online competitors.
