LED APPLICATIONS

Every Area of Your Facility, Optimized

We design lighting systems for every application type, indoors and out, using DLC-certified fixtures that qualify for utility rebates.

Warehouse and High Bay

Replace metal halide and fluorescent high bays with LED fixtures that deliver better light levels at a fraction of the wattage.

EV Retail and Office

Improved color rendering and consistent lumen output across sales floors, offices, and showrooms. Better light, lower bills.

Manufacturing and Industrial

High-lumen, durable LED systems built for demanding industrial environments. Fewer replacements, safer work conditions.

Parking Lots and Canopies

Bright, even coverage for surface lots, garages, and fuel canopies. Improved safety and major energy reductions overnight.

Sporting Facilities & Non-Profits

LED fixtures rated for cold environments reduce heat load on refrigeration systems while cutting lighting energy costs significantly.

Building Exterior and Facades

Exterior wall packs, area lights, and facade lighting upgraded to LED for better security, curb appeal, and energy performance.

STILL ON FLUORESCENT OR HID?

Your Old Lighting System Is Costing You More Than You Think

Facilities still running T8 fluorescent, metal halide, or HPS fixtures are paying a hidden tax every month in wasted energy, maintenance labor, and lamp replacements. Poor lighting also creates safety risks for employees and customers that a simple upgrade eliminates. A free audit shows you exactly what your current system is costing and what a safer, more efficient workspace looks like.

High Energy Consumption

Fluorescent and HID fixtures can consume 2 to 4 times the wattage of equivalent LED systems. In a large facility, that gap shows up clearly on your monthly bill.

Ongoing Maintenance Costs

Lamp and ballast replacements in a large facility add up fast. LED fixtures are rated for 50,000 hours or more with no ballasts to fail and no scheduled relamping cycles.

Excess Heat Output

Metal halide and fluorescent fixtures release significant heat, adding load to your HVAC system. LED fixtures run cool, reducing cooling costs as a secondary benefit.

Poor Lighting and Safety Risks

Inadequate light levels increase the risk of accidents, errors, and liability. LED upgrades deliver consistent, high-quality light across your facility, creating a safer environment for employees and customers.

THE BUSINESS CASE

Four Reasons Businesses Upgrade Now

LED retrofits consistently deliver among the fastest payback of any commercial energy upgrade.

Immediate energy savings

Most facilities see 40 to 75% reductions in lighting energy from day one. In high-usage environments like warehouses, that translates directly to hundreds or thousands per month.

Near-zero maintenance

LED fixtures last 3 to 5 times longer than fluorescent and have no ballasts to replace. Facilities that previously ran monthly maintenance schedules often go years without a service call.

Strong utility rebate programs

Commercial LED retrofits qualify for utility rebates in most markets, often covering 20 to 50% of project cost. We identify and file all available rebates as part of every project.

Productivity and safety benefits

Better color rendering and consistent light levels reduce eye strain, improve accuracy in production environments, and increase visibility in parking and exterior areas.

DLC Certified Products Only

Not all LED products qualify for utility rebates. We spec DesignLights Consortium certified fixtures on every project, ensuring your installation qualifies for every available rebate program and meets utility requirements from day one.

AVAILABLE INCENTIVES

Financial Incentives That May Reduce Your Project Cost

Available incentives vary by location, utility provider, and equipment. Our free audit identifies every applicable program for your facility.

Not tax advice. We recommend consulting your CPA to confirm what applies to your specific situation.

Utility Rebates

Most commercial utility providers offer per-fixture or per-watt-reduced rebates for qualifying LED retrofits. Rebates often cover 20 to 50% of total project cost. DLC certification required.

*Incentives differ depending on your utility company.

Section 179 Deduction

Qualifying commercial lighting equipment may be eligible for immediate expensing under Section 179, allowing businesses to deduct the full purchase cost in the year of installation.

Bonus Depreciation

Commercial lighting upgrades may qualify for accelerated bonus depreciation under current federal tax law, reducing taxable income in the year the system is placed in service.

State and Local Programs

Many states offer additional energy efficiency incentive programs layered on top of utility rebates. We research what is available in your market as part of every free audit.

100% Financing Available

Zero upfront financing is available for qualified businesses. Most LED projects are structured so the monthly payment is less than the energy savings from day one.

OUR PROCESS

How A Lighting Retrofit Works

From first audit to final inspection, we manage everything

Free On-Site Lighting Audit

Our team surveys every area of your facility, documenting existing fixture types, wattages, operating hours, and utility rate. No cost, no commitment.

Custom Lighting Design

We produce a photometric plan showing foot-candle levels, fixture placement, and product specifications. You see the design before a single fixture is ordered.

Savings and Rebate Proposal

You receive a clear proposal showing projected energy savings, available utility rebates, financing options, and a full payback analysis before you make any decision.

Rebate Filing

We handle all utility rebate applications, documentation, and follow-up on your behalf. Rebates are applied to reduce your net project cost before you pay anything.

Installation

Our licensed crews complete installation on your schedule, phasing work around operating hours when needed. Old fixtures are removed and recycled. Minimal disruption to your team.

Commissioning and Verification

Every zone is tested and verified against the design spec. We provide as-built documentation and connect you to the manufacturer warranty before we close the job.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from business owners

1. How much will we actually save on our energy bill?

It depends on your current fixtures, operating hours, and utility rate, which is exactly what a free lighting audit calculates. Most commercial facilities see 40 to 75% reductions in lighting energy. We will show you the number specific to your building before you commit to anything.

2. Will the installation shut down our facility?

No. We phase all work around your operating schedule. Most retrofits are completed during nights, weekends, or low-activity windows. Your team keeps working and in most cases does not notice until the lights are brighter.

3. What utility rebates are available to us?

Utility rebate programs for LED are among the most widely available energy incentives in the US. Most commercial utility providers offer them, but the amounts and qualifying requirements vary by market. We research what is available in your area and file everything on your behalf.

4. How long do LED fixtures actually last?

Quality commercial LED fixtures are rated for 50,000 to 100,000 hours. At 10 hours per day of operation, that is 13 to 27 years of useful life with no ballasts to replace. Manufacturer warranties typically cover 5 years on product and driver.

5. Can we do just part of the facility now?

Yes. Many businesses start with the highest-usage areas first, such as warehouses or production floors, and expand over time. We can scope any size project and still file for applicable utility rebates on each phase.
