Illumination Stations Shine a Light on Energy Savings

January 1, 2024
  |   6 Comments

Illuminations Stations are information tables that provide an opportunity to shine a light on ways for people to lower their utility bills, apply for energy assistance, and receive items to help them keep money in their pockets! Visit the library to get more information about energy programs and more!

You also can bring your old incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs to swap them for new energy efficient LED light bulbs. You can bring us as many lightbulbs as you want but there is a limit to 3 LEDs per person. Please note we only provide standard 60 W equivalent LED bulbs that are 2700K meaning they are warm lightbulbs. If you would like to swap out more bulbs, we encourage you to schedule a Quick Home Energy Checkup with your utility company.

This program is in collaboration with Montgomery County Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Montgomery County Public Libraries and Pepco.

Check out where we are planning to visit this year – keep in mind that we may have to reschedule or cancel due to weather or illness
