ENERGY STAR® Lighting

Changing your light bulbs and fixtures is an easy, low-cost way to improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce your monthly bills and help the environment. When changing out your bulbs, make the change to ENERGY STAR®.

Replacing a standard, 75-watt incandescent bulb with a comparable ENERGY STAR®-qualified, 26-watt compact fluorescent light (CFL) or replacing a 100-watt standard incandescent bulb with a comparable 32-watt CFL can both save you at least $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. Bulbs come in all shapes, sizes and styles to fit most indoor and outdoor lamps and fixtures. ENERGY STAR®-labeled lighting fixtures are also available in many styles and colors to fit your budget and home décor.

To help you save from the very start, we have partnered with area retailers so you'll get a reduced price on ENERGY STAR®-qualified lighting products. You also are invited to visit the ENERGY STAR® Lights Catalog online from the comfort of your own home. As a WMECO customer, you can purchase a variety of products at reduced prices, which many are not available anywhere else but the catalog.

We also invite you to do your part in protecting the environment and our future, and ask that you Take the Pledge. If every household in the United States replaced one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR®-qualified compact fluorescent light bulb, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road.
