Save by Switching to LEDs
Here's a bright idea: Swap out your light bulbs for ENERGY STAR-certified LEDs to see a big savings in your electric bill.
There's no better time since through this special Orange & Rockland-sponsored program you can get a wide array of LEDs for almost as little as traditional light bulbs.
Why Choose ENERGY STAR LEDs
Quality and Longevity
LED bulbs that have earned the ENERGY STAR label have undergone independent, third-party testing to ensure that they will perform as promised. On average, LEDs last up to 15 years, reducing waste and the burden of replacing burned-out bulbs.
Unlike standard light bulbs, LEDs stay cool to the touch, making them an excellent choice for home with children or pets.
Energy Efficiency
While a standard bulb costs about $7 a year to power, LEDs will run you just $1. And since they last up to 15 times longer than your average light bulb, a small upfront investment can add up to big savings over time. Overall, you can save up to $55 in electricity over the lifetime of each bulb!

Color and Appearance
LEDs are available in a wide range of colors to suit any space or task. Light color is measured on the Kelvin (K) scale — a lower K means warmer light, while a higher K means cooler light.

Brightness
90% of the electricity used by standard bulbs produces heat, while only 10% produces light. LEDs keep their cool and utilize electricity for light output (lumens) exclusively. They provide the same level of brightness as standard bulbs while consuming far less energy (watts).
Plus, since LEDs stay cool to the touch, they're an excellent choice for homes with children or pets.

Versatility
LED bulbs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can also find certified bulbs that are dimmable to set the mood in any room.
