LED lighting Rebate

Currently, New York State (NYS) is offering non-residential customers increased opportunities to receive rebates for replacing old lighting systems and upgrading to LED light bulbs and fixtures. While LED lighting rebates exist in states across the country, NYS has increased its focus on LED lighting. LEDWisconsin proudly offers our customers compliance rated LED lighting solutions and support for obtaining rebates from NYS, other participating states, and organizations.

Taking advantage of the LED lighting rebates offered through your state or utility company offsets the cost of resources for purchase and installation, leading to greater savings in the long run for farmers and commercial/ industrial warehouse owners.

What Are the Benefits of LED Lighting Systems for Farmers?

Simply put, brighter lights will allow you to work more effectively and increase safety measures in your barn or warehouse. LED lights are often stronger and have longer lifespans than traditional light bulbs, allowing farmers and operators to continue working as natural daylight decreases due to season changes, weather conditions, or surrounding architecture blocking out light.

With LED bulbs, your space becomes more illuminated, allowing farm workers to carry out tasks more efficiently and correctly. This increases visibility for both livestock and workers, promoting safety and increased awareness. Better lighting helps not only reduce possible injuries to farm workers, but also increase safety measures to promote livestock protection.

LED lighting systems are ideal for both internal and external applications. They are ideal for farms, warehouses, parking lots, and horse arenas because they are designed to better withstand harsh environments, like changing temperatures or movement vibrations, which is better than other light bulb types.

Lastly, LED lights help reduce costs and save resources over time. LED bulbs can last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, reducing replacement maintenance costs and new bulb cost purchases. LED bulbs also draw less energy to produce the same amount or even increased amounts of illumination, leading to lower electricity bills over time. LED lights also produce less heat, allowing the integrity of the bulb to remain intact, increasing the bulb’s usability, and creating a more comfortable environment, maintaining consistent temperatures, for animals and workers.

How to Apply for LED Lighting Rebates

Right now, NYS is offering increased rebate opportunities for all commercial and/or industrial customers who update their lighting systems with LED bulbs and fixtures. For New York and other participating states, there are no specific standards to determine if you are eligible for LED lighting rebates; however, most qualifications include retrofits on a 1:1 LED replacement basis. Other LED lighting rebate circumstances that may be considered for farmers are:

  • The power of the LED light being installed
  • The classification of the light being installed
  • If the LED light is DLC listed

For New York residents, LEDWisconsin LED lights and lighting systems are certified by New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG), allowing them to be considered for NYSEG’s commercial and industrial rebate program.
