Free energy saving lightbulbs

:j Just been to B& Q in Coleraine who have a supply of 20W(100W equivalent light bulbs free to give away compliments of NIE. All you have to do is fill out a survey on energy saving measures.
There doesn't seem to be any limit on the amount of times you can fill out the survey ( which is voluntary anyway!!)

The girl at the cash desk in Coleraine just told us to lift one bulb each and take the survey home with no pressure to even complete it.

I don't know if it is all stores or just Coleraine but it seems to be a province wide NIE promotion.

    If you have EDF energy you can get

    4 free lightbulbs
    Free or discounted home insulation
    Free energy saving advice

    Offer until the end of October 2008 - you should have been sent an information pack - I only just found it as it was in the junk mail ready to be thrown out!

    I got sent a letter from eaga.com & PHILIPS who are offering

    4 free lightbulbs to over 70's or anyone on qualifying benefits, such as Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Credits (not sole occupancy), Attendance Allowance, Disability Alloweance, Industrial Injuries Disablement Pension Benefit, War Disablement Pension, Pension Credit.

    You can recommend a friend or family member, so as we're all so friendly on here I thought I'd let you know! :A

    Call 0845 491 8655 quoting reference RF-J08VM


    All it costs you is the phone call (4p p/min) and the cost of a stamp to send off the envelope. It states in the small print that they don't share your info, and only keep it for more energy saving offers. :T

    B&Q Boucher road have a huge trolley just past the tills. It's full of 65w and 100w equivalent energy saving bulbs, and the sign says 'Please take one with our compliments'.
    I reckon you could have two or three easily. Most people just ignored them.
  • Tesco are currently doing an offer of buy 5 for 40p, no idea what stock levels are like..
