The Switch is ON! CFL Bulb Exchange

“The Switch is ON!” at your electric cooperative. You can switch your inefficient incandescent light bulbs to new, energy-saving CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs), and it’s absolutely FREE. These Energy Star® qualified CFL bulbs use about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer while still providing the same warm, soft light you’re used to. So make the switch today – for you, your wallet and for the environment. It’s the smart choice.

How It Works

Bring 6 incandescent bulbs to one of our offices during our business hours (M-F 8:00am - 5:00pm) and we will give you 6 energy saving CFLs, for FREE! If you didn’t participate in last year’s program, your household is now eligible for 9 CFL bulbs. Each pack of 3 bulbs has a value of $10.98. Each bulb will save you an estimated $56* over the lifetime of the bulb. By participating in our program, you can save a potential of $504 - just make the switch today!

To date, we have given our members over 33,000 bulbs, for an estimated savings of over $1.8 million!!! By helping our members to use energy more efficiently, we can prolong the need to build new generating plants and keep our rates low. A perfect example of how the little savings add up.
