This program is o�ered in partnership by The City of Lacombe and Fortis Alberta.

How do I participate? You can participate in the exchange by bringing two strings of ine�cient, incandescent, exterior holiday house lights to City Hall where you will receive one box of new, energy e�cient LED lights. There is a limit of one box of free LED lights per adult per household. Adults must be present to claim the lights.

What is the bene�t of replacing incandescent lights with LED lights? Replacing your traditional incandescent house lights with LED lights can reduce your holiday energy consumption by up to 95 percent.
