DP&L and Lowe’s Help Reduce Energy Costs for Weekend Shoppers

When was the last time you got something for free and kept right
on saving money? Over the next two weekends, shoppers visiting two
Miami Valley Lowe’s stores can get a free compact fluorescent light
bulb (CFL) when they buy one, courtesy of Dayton Power & Light
(DP&L).
You will continue to save money because each inefficient,
incandescent bulb you replace with a CFL could save you up to
another $30 over its lifetime. Did you know the average home has 40
light bulb sockets? That’s a lot of savings.
There are two chances to get your free CFL bulbs.
- This weekend, October 1 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. at the Fairborn Lowe’s, 2850-I Centre Drive. Radio station
WMMX-FM (107.7) will be broadcasting live from the store.
- Next weekend, October 8 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. at the Centerville Lowe’s, 6300 Wilmington Pike. Radio
station WLQT-FM (94.5) will be broadcasting live from the
store.
For each qualified CFL bulb you buy during each event, you will
receive a free CFL bulb from DP&L (each shopper is limited to
six free bulbs). DP&L representatives will also be on hand to
discuss energy-saving tips and offer suggestions about how and
where to use your new CFL bulbs. There will also be displays of a
hand-cranked generator and a bike allowing visitors to generate
enough energy to light up different types of bulbs.
If you can’t make it to Lowe’s either Saturday, you can still
save money on a variety of discounted bulbs. DP&L is featuring
two great deals on CFLs at Lowe’s, including a 6 pack of 13W (60 W
equivalent) soft white, formerly $8.98, on sale for $1.18 or a six
pack of 23W (100 W equivalent) soft white, formerly $12.48, on sale
for $3.48.
DP&L’s energy saving programs, introduced in 2009, are
saving electricity in the Miami Valley. Our initial calculations
show that DP&L’s business and residential customers are saving
enough energy to power 24,000 homes for a year. Since 2009, more
than 4.5 million DP&L discounted compact fluorescent light
bulbs have been sold at retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and
Sam’s Club. For a complete list of participating retailers, go to

CFL Facts
- One CFL equals about 9 incandescent
bulbs, meaning less waste in landfills.
- CFLs use 75% less energy and last 10
times longer than incandescent bulbs.
- Switching 5 of your most used light
bulbs to CFLs could save you up to $50 per year on your electricity
bill.
- If every home in Ohio replaced just one
light bulb with an energy-efficient CFL, we would save enough
energy to light more than 156,000 homes for a year.
- CFLs produce less heat, helping reduce
cooling costs during warmer months.
