BWL offers LED holiday lights to customers

The Lansing Board of Water & Light will restart its LED holiday light exchange to benefit BWL customers who are storing decorative lights until the 2010 holiday season.

Beginning today through Jan. 22, BWL customers can exchange two strands of working incandescent holiday lights for two new strands of energy-saving LED holiday lights.

The LED light exchange will take place at the BWL’s Customer Service Center, 1232 Haco Drive, Lansing. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., weekdays.

The City of East Lansing is also participating in the exchange. BWL customers can exchange holiday light strands at the East Lansing Department of Public Works, 1800 E. State Road. The hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays.

The holiday light exchange is part of the BWL’s Hometown Energy SaversSM program, which offers incentives for customers to upgrade to more energy-efficient lighting and appliances. The BWL also hosted the holiday light exchange during the 2009 holiday season.

To qualify for the holiday light exchange, a person must be a BWL residential electric customer. Customers should bring used, working incandescent strands of lights to the locations listed above. Each customer must show a valid Michigan I.D. and a current BWL electric bill.

There is a limit of two strands of LED holiday lights per household. Supplies are limmited.
