What Are LED Utility Rebates?
Utility companies across the US offer financial incentives for businesses that upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting. These rebates can cover 30-70% of your fixture cost, making the switch to LED practically free.
How Rebates Work
1. Purchase DLC-listed LED fixtures (most ForgeLightCo products qualify)
2. Submit rebate application to your utility company
3. Receive rebate check (typically 4-8 weeks after approval)
DLC Premium vs DLC Standard
- DLC Standard — Meets minimum efficiency requirements. Qualifies for base rebates.
- DLC Premium — Exceeds efficiency requirements (130+ lm/W). Qualifies for higher rebates — often 50-100% more than standard.
Most ForgeLightCo fixtures are DLC Premium certified.
Typical Rebate Amounts
| Fixture Type | DLC Standard Rebate | DLC Premium Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| High Bay (150W) | $40-80 | $75-150 |
| Wall Pack (70W) | $20-40 | $35-75 |
| Area Light (200W) | $50-100 | $80-175 |
| Troffer (40W) | $15-30 | $25-60 |
Rebate amounts vary by utility. Check your local utility website for exact amounts.
Tips to Maximize Rebates
1. Always choose DLC Premium — higher rebates justify any price difference
2. Apply before installation — some utilities require pre-approval
3. Keep all receipts — you'll need invoices and product spec sheets
4. Check for bonuses — some utilities offer extra rebates for occupancy sensors and dimming controls
5. Work with your contractor — many are experienced with rebate applications
