Did you know…
– Lighting is, on average, 11% of a house of worship’s energy costs.
– Switching from inefficient T-12 bulbs to 68% more efficient T-8s reduces your monthly utility costs.
– Money saved on utilities can be spent on other pressing needs of your congregation—or on further efficiency upgrades!
– Switching to efficient bulbs also reduces the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
Ask your members to “Adopt-a-Light” – it’s a great investment!
Before: 4 bulbs & 2 ballasts, 166 watts
After: 2 bulbs & 1 ballast, 53 watts
Using volunteer labor—10 volunteers, 2 weekends, no experience necessary—you can keep the costs of the project to a minimum!
Cost is approximately $50 per fixture, less if you have a licensed electrician in your congregation.
3 easy steps:
– Take out the old bulbs, clean the fixtures
– A licensed electrician changes the ballasts
– Insert the new bulbs and close the fixture.
Our consultant can talk you through the program and even help you get the best prices.
