Swap the old bulbs for LED lighting in an invited Compton congregation hall

The same Compton congregation halls that host weekend services and weekday food distribution still burn incandescent and old fluorescent tubes in fixtures that run for hours. Every old bulb swapped for an LED cuts the electric bill immediately and the savings stay with the congregation year after year. Standard: ENERGY STAR certified LED lighting guidance; SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Proof: Lit-fixture photos plus old-bulb count and drop-off record Method (ENERGY STAR certified LED lighting guidance; SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).): 1. Confirm the swap list with the host from the energy check and count the fixtures within safe reach. 2. Turn off each fixture, let it cool, and remove the old bulb or tube. 3. Install the matched LED replacement and confirm it lights correctly. 4. Box the old bulbs for proper drop-off at a household hazardous waste collection point and record the count. 5. Photograph each finished fixture lit, the boxed old bulbs, and the drop-off receipt with date and GPS. Done when: Lit-fixture photos plus old-bulb count and drop-off record

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• tape measure
• light meter (lighting scope)
• clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
• 12-month utility bills
• camera
• ladder + spotter (high fixtures)

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Knob-and-tube, ungrounded or overheated wiring, scorched outlets, or a hot electrical panel -> STOP: do not operate the circuit; route to a licensed electrician and restrict use (NEC / fire hazard).
• Gas odor, or a combustion appliance with absent/blocked venting (backdrafting / CO risk) -> STOP: evacuate, ventilate, call the gas utility. The agent escalates, never relights or adjusts gas.
• Any live-electrical/gas hazard -> document, do not touch, flag for a licensed pro.
• Refrigeration unit out of food-safe range -> flag as both energy and food-safety risk.
• Suspected asbestos/lead in materials -> flag and stop.

What counts as done

• System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment
• 12-month utility use summary recorded
• In-scope measurements recorded with units
• Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
