Instant Lighting Frequently Asked Questions

We understand the importance of helping businesses save energy and money. Our Instant Lighting Incentive Program makes it easy for commercial, small business, multifamily, community residences, and veterans’ organizations customers in our service territory to replace inefficient incandescent and halogen lighting with energy-saving ENERGY STAR and DesignLights Consortium LEDs. Our collaborations with enrolled participants help increase sales of the highest-quality LED lamps, fixtures, and retrofit kits on the market by offering a low price that’s comparable to most other lamps.
