Must read

The City of Wilmington is in the process of replacing florescent lights with more energy efficient LED lights in city facilities with the highest energy use. As a result, the city has more than 3,000 florescent working light bulbs that will be made available free of charge to qualifying non-profit agencies located within the Wilmington city limits Applicants can apply online by visiting the City of Wilmington website, and they must attach a copy of their 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS to the application.

The LED conversion is part of the city’s ongoing effort to be more environmentally friendly; lights have already been replaced in several city facilities, including parking decks and community centers. Conversion of approximately 2,200 lights at the Wilmington Police Department headquarters on Bess Street is now underway.

Non-profits interested in receiving some of the donated florescent bulbs should apply on the city’s website at wilmingtonnc.gov/bulbs by Sept. 3. The florescent bulbs available from the city are primarily T5, T8 and T12. Those agencies approved will be notified directly by Sept. 10 and will able to pick the bulbs up on Sept. 19.
