National Energy Saving Sweepstakes Launched

Lighting control manufacturer Lutron Electronics last month announced the launch of its “Energy Saving Sweepstakes,” which will run in the United States and Canada through May 1.

Headquartered in Coopersburg, Pa., Lutron Electronics is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

The grand-prize winner will receive $15,000 toward their next 10 years worth of energy bills. In addition, Lutron will award a first-prize winner $1,500 to buy Lutron lighting controls and other energy-saving products, and second-prize winners will receive a Maestro IR™ remote control dimmer.

With energy prices on the rise, the sweepstakes is a great opportunity to create awareness about the energy savings benefits provided by lighting controls. Setting lights to lower levels greatly reduces electricity consumption and extends the life of light bulbs, the manufacturer says.

Statistics compiled by Lutron Electronics show that dimming a traditional incandescent bulb by just 10% saves 10% of electricity and doubles its lifespan.

Consumers can find entry forms at participating home centers, hardware stores, distributors, lighting showrooms or by clicking here.

Random drawings will be held around June 1 to determine the winners.
