Southern California Edison (SCE) will be hosting one of its Operation Light Exchange events in the Los Angeles Area on May 3-4 in the City of Industry.

This program allows SCE customers to exchange their old energy-hog halogen and incandescent lights (lamps) for the more energy-efficient Energy Star lamps. The exchange is free - just bring in your old lamps (sans shades) and they'll hand you new ones!

This is a great opportunity to get some new lamps, update your decor and save on your electric bill, all at the same time!

The last Operation Light Exchange event was a huge success, with over 10,000 lamps exchanged over a 2-day period.

What's the catch? None, really. You just need to prove that you live in Southern California Edison territory (bring a driver's license or SCE bill), be 18 years or older, and bring in 10 lamps or less.
