Lighting Turn-In Program and Schedule

Join SDG&E® and your neighbors for special home lighting events. Lighting exchanges are held throughout San Diego all year long. Save energy and money by attending an event and getting the following items, all at no cost to you!

  • Trade up to five incandescent light bulbs (75 watts or higher) for the same number of new, energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (100 watt equivalent)
  • Get new products like three-way CFLs and table lamps (new for 2009!)
  • Trade up to two halogen lamps (any style lamp with a halogen bulb) for two new energy-efficient floor or table lamps
  • Save even more with our Home Energy & Water Savings Kits (new for 2009!)
