The second severe weather event in just over a week is now impacting our service area. Heavy rain and strong winds, combined with already saturated and unstable soil from last week's flooding, are causing power outages with more expected to come throughout the day.

We understand the stress and disruption that power outages can cause. We know you are counting on us. We mobilized response teams in advance and additional crews from outside our region are deployed and working alongside our teams. These crews will work around the clock assessing damage and restoring power as quickly as possible.

Above all, safety comes first - please take extra precautions and stay safe out there!

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.

Choose your LED

LED bulbs come in varying shapes, sizes, brightness and color. Use the steps below to choose the right bulb for your needs.

Step 1: Choose the application

LEDs come in many shapes and sizes. Make sure that you’re choosing the right lamp for the location.

Lamps

Pro-tips

  • Check the LED package to see if the bulb is dimmable. For best results, choose a dimmer switch that is labeled to work with LEDs.
  • E26 is a standard medium base and E12 is a candelabra base.

Step 2: Choose the brightness

Lumens

Lumens is the new watt. Lumens measure the brightness of light output, watts determine the energy used. Look below to find the approximate lumen count for an equivalent a-lamp incandescent. Lumen equivalents for specialty lamps (reflector, candelabra and globe) will vary slightly from the below.

Step 3: Choose the color

Kelvin (k) measures color. The lower the Kelvin, the more yellow the light. If you want the feel of incandescent lighting, look for 2700k.
