Sinopse

Change is good. It’s been 140 years since Thomas Edison patented the incandescent light bulb—creating the primordial soup of innovation that sparked the development of the first electrical grid supplying New York the energy to fulfill its destiny as the city that never sleeps. Changing to the newest technology in lighting would make Thomas Edison proud and might be a catalyst for the energy grid of the future. Here’s why: LEDs use less energy—reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on your energy bill. And that’s significant since lighting accounts for about 20 percent of the typical home energy bill. LEDs generate less heat, which is especially great in the summer months, and don’t need to be changed as often. LEDs last at least 15 times longer than their inefficient incandescent relatives. To make the change to LEDs easier, Con Edison is offering instant rebates. Save up to $3 per bulb at check-out, then save even more in energy costs over the life of the bulb. https://www.coned.com/en/save-m
