LightWorks is a nonprofit initiative educating the public and helping nonprofit organizations save money and protect the environment

by converting to LED lighting.

Did you know?

Lighting consumes 22% of electricity in the United States, according to the Department of Energy. In a home, lighting may be 10% of an electric bill, but in an office building it’s closer to 40%. The DOE predicts that solid state lighting (SSL), has the potential to reduce energy use for lighting by 1/3 by 2030. That’s the equivalent of saving the output of 40 large (1,000-megawatt) power plants, the greenhouse gas emissions of 47 million cars and $30 billion. In addition, (light-emitting diode) LED lights typically last 6-10 times longer, thereby reducing costs for replacements, labor and disposal.

Help break the cycle of replacing burnouts with "cheap" lamps/tubes that end up costing a lot in energy bills and dangerous CO2 and mercury pollution.

LightWorks helps nonprofit organization save money by:

• Providing LED lighting information on the technology, the rewards

and the alternatives,

• Helping you to conduct your own lighting survey,

• Connecting nonprofits with local installers willing to provide low cost labor,

• Supplying financing methods and links to low cost and government sources

and grants for energy efficiency and environment retrofit programs,

• Negotiating agreements with suppliers of LED lighting products

who provide materials at reduced prices,

• Assisting nonprofits to apply for the rebate, tax and electric rate

reduction initiatives offered by Federal, State, and Local governments

and utility companies.
