Please note that CHOA has replaced all of the Common Area outside lighting on your homes (normally front and back) with new low energy LED light bulbs. In addition to saving 50% on the cost of the LED bulbs due to a program by the Energy Trust of Oregon, it is estimated that our neighbors will save a combined $9000 in electricity costs per year. Nice work by Steve Chinn and his team here.
Please note that we now have a lot of old light bulbs that we are not sure what to do with. Any ideas?
Installing LED bulbs is also a great idea because they generate a very small amount of heat in the event a bird’s nest finds its way into one of our light fixtures. A bird’s nest located adjacent to one of the older incandescent light bulbs (which are hot to the touch) can create a potential fire hazard.
Are they supposed to be on the garage and the back of the house- golf course? I don’t see any replacement bulbs at my house.
