Xcel Energy's new bulb finder site locates low-priced LEDs
New tool helps residents locate energy-saving bulbs as low as 8 cents

August 30, 2023

Xcel Energy is offering huge discounts on energy-efficient LED bulbs as well as an easy way to locate where to get them. Introducing the new Bulb Finder webpage. Prices are as low as 8 cents per bulb in Colorado. Simply enter your zip code to find stores close to your location that offer LED bulbs at discounted prices.

"Swapping out old incandescent bulbs with LEDs is the cheapest and easiest way to save energy and money at home," said Sherryl Volkert, lighting program manager. "And now you can locate them easily by using the website tool, locating a local hardware store or big box retailer, and look for the Xcel Energy sticker. It's never been easier to get started on energy efficiency at home."

LEDs are the new nationwide standard since it is now illegal to manufacturer and sell most traditional incandescent and halogen light bulbs. An ENERGY STAR® LED bulb saves about $55 in electricity costs over its lifetime and lasts at least 13 years. ENERGY STAR LEDs are independently certified to deliver efficiency and performance.

Not sure what to buy? Download the helpful LED bulb guide that will help determine which shape, size, and color temperature to buy to replicate the old bulbs being replaced. The higher the output in watts or lumens, the brighter the bulb will be.

Xcel Energy discounts can be found at many retailers including Ace Hardware, Batteries Plus, Costco, Dollar Tree, Home Depot, King Soopers, Lowe's, Salvation Army, Sam's Club, Target and Walmart. They can also be found periodically at Goodwill, Habitat ReStore and Walgreens.

The discounts are funded by Xcel Energy's Demand Side Management program, created to help customers save energy and money through a variety of programs and services.

Xcel Energy provides discounts of up to $3 per bulb at participating stores in Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, South Dakota and Texas. Bonus discounts of over 90% are available in select areas. Find discounted bulbs at xcelenergy.com/LightingDeals.
