Bermuda has started the distribution Of 150,000 LED Light Bulbs

The Ministry of Home Affairs of Bemuda has launched the new LED initiative, and says the distribution of 150,000 LED light bulbs will begin with the most vulnerable: seniors and low-income households.

Following this initial distribution, LED light bulb packages will be made available for those individuals who are not seniors or in the lower income bracket but still want to lower their energy costs.

The Ministry can advise that a single 60-Watt equivalent LED used for five hours daily at our current kilowatt-hour prices saves $37 per year. With an LED’s expected life span of four to six years, consumers could save a minimum of $148 for each LED over a four-year lifespan. Four LEDs increase household savings to around $592 over a four-year lifespan.
