OUR MISSION

One Million Light Bulbs is a universal movement to advance the state of the eco-consciousness, inspiring millions to take just one little step towards this goal. We’re challenging each and every person, business, and organization to change just one light bulb from incandescent to LED.

One Million Light Bulbs will promote environmental sustainability, connect communities, and create empathetic environmentalists. We want to create the start line by exchanging one million inefficient light bulbs with one million LEDs as we work toward eliminating inefficient bulbs in 2020.

INEFFICIENT BULBS

Out with the old

 
 
 

INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS

Last a little over a year, are easily broken, and are not energy efficient. These bulbs are set to one color temperature and, at most, are dimmable.

 
 
 

HALOGEN LIGHT BULBS

Usually burn out after 9-12 months of common use and only give a narrow angle of light compared to similar LED bulbs.

 
 
 

INCANDESCENT STRING LIGHTS

Can cause fires in the home and are known to have multiple bulbs burn out leaving dim decoration.

 
 
 

FLUORESCENT TUBE LIGHTS

Vary in length, but they require more installation and must be replaced often. If installed incorrectly, the lights may flicker and even take a while to warm up.
