Cannon Air Force Base is working to make the base more energy efficient one bulb at a time.
According to the Clovis News Journal, Cannon has launched the Energy Star Operation Change Out a national military campaign to reduce energy.
A little more than 1,000 light bulbs will be replaced with compact fluorescent light bulbs by October 1.
Cannon officials implemented the initiative to conserve energy last year by turning off lights and appliances that aren't in use.
The Deputy Base Engineer said the base aims to reduce energy consumption by 3% every year.
