With Earth Day approaching in April, many clients are looking for novel and educational activities that will really engage their staff and provide tangible activities that will create a buy in for their Earth day messages. The Light Bulb Challenge is the perfect activity for this offering player participation, whilst clearly showing the link between what is required to produce energy and the amount of energy required to power even the simplest of household items.
What is Earth Day you may ask? Earth Day celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2020. It is a call for action to create and raise awareness of important environmental issues. More significantly it aims to educate and encourages everyone to make small lifestyle changes, which if we all embrace, will have a huge impact on the environment. Over 1 billion people now take part in Earth Day activities across over 175 nations.
The Light Bulb Challenge Hire is one of the best activities to highlight energy awareness. Players pedal, and have to illuminate all 10 LED light bulbs. Once lit, here the fun begins. As the digital display timer starts, they must now keep pedalling at the required speed, to keep all 10 bulbs illuminated. Once the first bulb dips out, the timer will stop.
Light Bulb Challenge Hire really demonstrates the effort and power required to produce the energy to keep the bulbs lit. Players gain an actual experience of how much effort is required and are often astounded.
Light Bulb Challenge Hire is not only a great educational tool, more importantly it is a fun activity. It is proven that individuals learn more and are more interested when activities are engaging and fun. We always supply a Top Gear style magnetic strip leader board with the Light Bulb Challenge to add that competitive element for events. It is not an activity of speed and power, more one of steady pedalling and endurance. Most players can keep all 10 bulbs illuminated for around 20-40 seconds.
Educationally they are now aware of the importance of turning off lights when rooms are not in use. Turning off items left on standby and all wasted energy sources. There is a massive amount of energy wastage, that even by one person just changing their lifestyle can reduce and really make a difference. If we all changed our habits, there would not need to be as much energy produced to supply ‘wasted energy’, and that will have the combined effects of decreasing the pollutants in the environment from the power stations.
We are able to fully brand the bespoke bikes disc wheels and chain guards, along with the branding of the Light Bulb Challenge display cabinet. We can create your very own bespoke Earth Day activity and deliver the units with your branding / corporate messages ready to go.
Light Bulb Challenge Hire is also a great activity to encourage your employees to take a break and engage in activity. Many clients distribute information regarding what their employees can do to reduce energy consumption in the workplace, based on accurate figures from the company. Employees can see the benefits of these actions and also take these ideas home with them to reap the financial rewards of reduced energy bills at home.
