Enjoy Maintenance Cost Avoidance (MCA) for a minimum of 5 years. It can last as long as 22 years, thanks to our best-in-class LED fixtures, which have a 200,000-hour life expectancy and a 10 year warranty.

Also, by integrating daylight harvesting with your LED lighting, you save energy and extend the lifespan of your lighting fixtures, reducing maintenance and operational costs over time.

Tax Deductions are available for upgrading to LED fixtures. For instance, the

EPAct 179D may allow your business a significant tax deduction.

LED fixtures contain no harmful mercury are energy-efficient, and produce higher light output.

You can use LED lighting systems with advanced automation and smart controls like motion sensors to further optimize energy use and provide automatic adjustments based on occupancy or daylight levels. This ensures efficient light control and minimal disruption in your business or facility.

Upgrading to LED further eliminates issues like inadequate lighting, ensuring bright, uniform illumination that enhances workplace safety and productivity.

LEDs are Energy Efficient and Eco-Friendly

LED bulbs are energy-efficient lighting systems with numerous environmental benefits. They have longer lifespans than incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lights (CFLS). LED bulbs also have a cleaner manufacturing process. They contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, thereby supporting efforts toward regulatory compliance in environmental practices.

To put things in perspective, LED bulbs typically last at least 50,000 hours, while CFLs last 8,000 on average, and incandescent bulbs last 1,200 on average. This means less environmental waste since you’re not replacing them as often.

Besides lasting longer, LED bulbs have a much lower carbon footprint, since they use less electricity to light your business, improving overall energy efficiency. The total energy consumption for an LED bulb is about 30 times lower than that of a comparable incandescent bulb.

Business owners who use commercial lighting solutions with LED bulbs reduce energy consumption and also save money.

Save Money With New Commercial Lighting Solutions

LED lighting fixtures will drastically cut your facility's energy usage, helping you qualify for rebates while reducing monthly operating costs and fulfilling your lighting needs.

It doesn’t matter if it’s DTE, Consumers Energy, or another utility provider; you can access instant savings and rebates based on Annual Kilowatts Saved (AKS). These will save you tens of thousands of dollars on the cost of your project.

Prescriptive Rebates
Your utility provider offers prescriptive rebates that are 1-to-1 fixture replacement rebates. These incentives are paid based on the quantity, size and efficiency of the equipment being replaced. For more information on DTE Prescriptive Rebates click H ERE.

Custom Rebates

To help you save even more, our commercial lighting experts will conduct a lighting audit and take light readings at your facility, at no cost to you. This allows us to create a more efficient lighting proposal, reducing the number of LED fixtures needed while maintaining or improving lighting quality.

As a result, you'll qualify for a larger rebate than with standard Prescriptive Rebates. You can cut maintenance costs even further and benefit from cheaper commercial lighting installation. For more information on Custom Rebates click HERE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here are some of our most common ones:

What is commercial LED lighting?

Commercial LED lighting refers to lighting technology that uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) designed for businesses, industrial facilities, or public spaces. These lighting fixtures offer several benefits, including energy efficiency, a long lifespan (often 50,000–100,000+ hours), and durability. LED lights consume at least 75% less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, leading to significant cost savings. Additionally, they produce minimal heat, which can reduce the load on HVAC systems in commercial environments.

How much does commercial LED lighting cost?

The cost of commercial lighting installation varies depending on the type of fixture and the complexity of the lighting project. For instance, warehouse lighting installation could be more costly when using high-bay lighting systems. However, though upfront costs may be higher, the long-term savings on energy and lighting maintenance make LEDs a cost-effective investment. Fill out our form or call us today for an accurate estimate for your facility.

What are the three types of LED lights?

There are three main types of LED lights based on the core technology used: DIP (Dual In-line Package), SMD (Surface Mounted Diode), and COB (Chip on Board). DIP LEDs are older and less bright, typically used in low-power applications. SMD LEDs are more versatile and common today, offering brightness and color-changing capabilities. COB LEDs, a newer LED technology, feature multiple chips mounted onto a substrate for high-density sources and even light distribution. They enhance safety and are ideal for different lighting designs, such as high bay lighting, spotlights, and downlights, and even in simulating natural light in spaces where daylight levels are limited.

What are LED smart lighting systems?

LED smart lighting systems use technology like motion sensors, timers, remote control, and occupancy sensors to adjust lighting automatically, enhancing energy savings and providing more lighting control over your environment.

How long is 20 meters of LED light?

A 20-meter LED light strip is approximately 65 feet and 7.4 inches long. This measurement is helpful for projects or spaces requiring longer strips for even coverage, especially in commercial lighting installations.

How many LEDs are there per meter?

The number of LEDs per meter, also known as LED density, can range from 30 to over 240 LEDs per meter, depending on the application. Lower densities, like 30 LEDs/m, are ideal for accent lighting, while 60 LEDs/m is common for general-purpose lighting. Higher densities, such as 120 LEDs/m, offer a smoother, more uniform light ideal for low bay lighting, or areas like under-cabinet or cove lighting. For seamless, continuous light, densities over 240 LEDs/m are used, often with diffusers to create brighter environments and a "dotless" effect.

How much money do LEDs save?

LED technology provides energy efficiency through minimal electricity usage. LED bulbs use 75% to 90% less energy than incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, and HID fixtures, which means direct energy cost reductions for you and lower utility bills. For larger facilities, changing to LED systems yields total energy savings in hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and, in some cases, over $1,000,000 in legacy savings. (And this doesn't even include operational efficiency and the reduced maintenance costs!)

Is LED lighting good for the environment?

Compared to traditional lighting fixtures (incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, and HID), LED technology is far better for the environment. LED systems use less energy, last longer, and create less heat. Lower energy consumption means a smaller carbon footprint.

Is LED lighting a worthy investment?

Yes, LED lighting is a worthwhile investment. It helps to create a well-lit and efficient working environment for improved productivity and safety. More so, many facilities have a return on investment (ROI) in less than a year!
