It seems like these days CFLs are everywhere! I get bombarded by news alerts everyday about proper disposal procedures, people panicked about mercury, and whether or not it pays off to make to switch.

Being in the lighting industry for almost 3 years now, much of this information has become second nature to me. I visit a friend’s house spewing energy savings information at them when I notice incandescent bulbs in their fixtures.

We at TCP took a step back recently and realized that not everyone is in the lighting industry. Many people, especially everyday consumers, don’t know the information that we take for granted. We decided that we needed to educate the public as well as people in the lighting industry- and that’s how “illumiNation” was born!

On Earth Day, April 22, 2008, TCP will be hosting an online program entitled “illumiNation – CFL Lighting Education for a Better Tomorrow”. The intent of this program is to dispel the misconceptions and set the record straight on using CFLs.

We will have Live Chat on the site, so if you have any questions, you can get immediate answers. Live Chat will also be available to viewers on Earth Day during and following the 9 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. events.
