Bulbs Not Bombs

With something as simple as a lightbulb, we can keep our consumer dollars from being spent on nuclear weapons. General Electric, GTE, Westinghouse, Emerson, North American Philips, Teledyne and Sylvania, which supply supermarket chains, all produce Iightbulbs and all do research and production for the nuclear weapons industry. But alternatives are available if you know where to look.

Duro-Test, DioLight and N.O.V.A.H. are non-military producers of lightbulbs. Their lightbulbs are available both in various cooperative businesses and through the mail.

Duro-Test produces Duro-Lite lightbulbs which last three times as long as normal lightbulbs (about 2,500 hours). They are available at Arbor Farms Market, People's Food Coop of Ann Arbor (Packard Store), Applerose Natural Foods and the Ypsilanti Food Co-op.

N.O.V.A.H. is a company run by the differently-abled. N.O.V.A.H. lightbulbs are guaranteed for five years. They are located at 3335 S. Telegraph, Dearborn, MI 48124; their phone number is 313-563-0420.

DioLight Technology, Inc. sells lightbulbs guaranteed for 60,000 hours, or 80 times the life of standard lightbulbs. They are located at 47 W. Huron St, Pontiac MI 48508 and their phone number is 313-332-1511.
