Lighting At-Risk Neighbourhoods
The objective of the Light the Night program is to brighten neighbourhoods in crisis and help make them safer, by installing compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and encouraging residents to leave them on overnight.
This community outreach program aligns safety with energy efficiency, by focusing on how valuable lighting can be to our communities.
Residents are encouraged to leave their new energy-efficient porch lights on between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. to increase safety in their community. CFL bulbs use 75 per cent less electricity* than standard incandescent bulbs and leaving them on at night, during off-peak hours, costs about a penny!
