CFL BulbWith daylight hours on the downturn, the Sheridan Neighborhood Organization will host an outdoor lighting fair this Saturday.

“Lights On Sheridan” will feature outdoor lighting information from Home Depot, S&L Remodeling, Nilles Building Electrical and others.

The event will also include compact flourescent light bulb giveaways and information on gardening, rain barrels and energy conservation.

Sheridan neighborhood homeowners are eligible for a 50 percent rebate on outdoor lighting fixtures and a 25 percent rebate for installation through the Northeast Housing Resource Center. Decorative and low-watt, accent lighting is not included.

The program is part of the neighborhood associations’s effort to make the area safer and more pedestrian-friendly.
