LED Lightbulb bulk purchase.

The PSG are looking at purchasing between 500 and 1,000 of these awesome halogen replacements, and because we'll buy so many, we'll all get them cheap! In fact we may qualify for State Government assistance to make them cheaper again!

The goal is to get 100 - 200 houses to buy 5-10 bulbs each, and have them professionally fitted. If you'd like to be involved then let us know. We have about 10 households so far so still need to rouse up some more participants, and the sooner we hit the target the sooner we can get the lights!

Watch this space for more info.
