Batteries Plus, the nation's largest and fastest-growing battery and light bulb franchise, announced the rebranding of its Hamden store, located at 2460 Dixwell Avenue, Suite D as "Batteries Plus Bulbs." The store's new identity is part of a company-wide initiative which began in late 2012, signaling its leadership in the expanding $17 billion U.S. light bulb replacement industry. Local consumers and business owners have a one-stop shop for all of their lighting and battery needs, with highly trained experts on hand to help, no matter how specialized the request.

The light bulb category has become increasingly complex, with legislation like the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) requiring the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs by 2014. With access to more than 15,000 light bulb products ranging from common recessed lighting, track lighting, and energy-efficient options to highly specialized light bulbs for cars and trucks, healthcare equipment, aquariums, and projectors, Batteries Plus Bulbs has become the destination for fulfilling all light bulb and battery needs.

"Consumers can visit our store and get expert advice on ways to reduce energy consumption in their homes and businesses," said John Murphy, co-owner of Batteries Plus Bulbs of Hamden. "Whether it's replacing current light bulbs with LEDs or other energy-efficient lighting options, we'll help guide consumers through the process, discuss options, and help them find the right light bulbs."

Batteries Plus Bulbs of Hamden also offers thousands of batteries for thousands of devices, ranging from watches, cars and trucks, digital cameras, laptops, cell phones, and smartphones to batteries for old toys and novelty electronic devices. Batteries Plus Bulbs will test your car or truck battery for free and can install new batteries while you wait. They can assemble, test, condition, and design custom battery packs for rechargeable household and business-to-business products. Batteries Plus Bulbs also keeps the environment safe with a recycling program using EPA-approved methods.
