Re: LED Bulb Discount Program for University Community

As part of Princeton's commitment to sustainability, faculty, staff and students may purchase high efficiency LED light bulbs at a special price through a partnership of the Office of Sustainability, Undergraduate Student Government, New Jersey Clean Energy Program and Philips Lighting. The discount program is available until Jan. 18, 2012.

To purchase a Philips light-emitting diode (LED) bulb for the special price of $13 visit the Energy Federation, Inc., online store and enter the code "Princeton" at checkout* along with your New Jersey home or work address (only NJ addresses may be used). Individuals may purchase up to 100 bulbs. Orders may be picked up after the New Year at the new sustainability kiosk on the 100 level of the Frist Campus Center, which is scheduled to open the week of Feb. 6 (you will be contacted with exact hours), or starting in February during regular business hours at the Office of Sustainability at 106 Alexander Street. Orders will not be delivered directly to your address.

The program is part of an Undergraduate Student Government (USG) light bulb exchange expected to launch in February. The USG, in partnershipwith Philips Lighting, will provide a limited number of participating undergraduates with one FREE high-quality LED bulb for use in personal lamps in exchange for an incandescent or compact fluorescent light bulb. The program is believed to be the first student-initiated LED bulb exchange in the nation. Any undergraduate who wants to purchase additional bulbs is welcome to do so anytime between now and Jan. 18.

The Philips EnduraLED 12.5 watt bulb includes the following features:

•           First 60 watt incandescent equivalent LED bulb to be ENERGY STAR® Qualified

•           Delivers a soft, even white light with no flickering

•           Smooth dimming to 10 percent of full light levels

•           25,000 hour lifespan
