2007 ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence Award
Recognizing our commitment to creating appliances and lighting products that help reduce energy spending and protect the environment, The U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency have awarded GE with the 2007 Sustained Excellence Award.

How does ENERGY STAR® help the environment?
Did you know that your house can pollute twice as much as your car? That's right, twice as much. That's because every time we flick on a light switch, run a dishwasher, or turn on a TV, we're using energy.

Most energy comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, which, when burned, release greenhouse gases into the air. So, it's simple! The more energy we save by using ENERGY STAR products and adopting energy-saving practices in our homes, the more air pollution we can prevent.

What qualifies a product as ENERGY STAR®?
ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs are the same or better than standard bulbs, only they use less energy. When you choose a GE Lighting product that has earned the ENERGY STAR label, you can trust that it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and the Department of Energy.

The ENERGY STAR® Change a Light, Change the World campaign is an annual challenge during October and November for all Americans to switch to ENERGY STAR® qualified lighting products. Changing just one light in your home to an ENERGY STAR® qualified one saves energy, money and helps protect our environment. By taking the pledge, you can help change the world, one light at a time.
