The CFL team replaced all outdated technology lamps which could be retrofitted with products currently available at local hardware stores. A team of Sheila Corkill, Tom Cullen and Mike Skibinski, was led by John Cowan in replacing 108 lamps, reducing 7,700 watts from the connected load in the Church. This represented a 78% reduction. The 8-10 times longer life new bulbs in some cases have slightly different light distribution patterns and a short warm-up period. However, generally the changes were planned so that nobody noticed them!  The intent was to upgrade the lighting efficiency wherever a simple change could be made. In fact it has been gratifying that nobody has commented on the changes. 

Note: Any remaining incandescent lamps in the Church require some lighting engineering before we can say we have purged the Church of inappropriate technology.
