Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting is a smart move for any business, especially for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and large indoor spaces. UFO LED High Bay Lights have become a popular choice due to their long lifespan, excellent brightness, and energy savings. But here's an even bigger bonus — you might be eligible for utility rebates that make these lights even more cost-effective.
Let’s walk you through how to check if your UFO LED High Bay Lights qualify for rebates and how you can take advantage of them.
What Are Utility Rebates for LED Lighting?
Utility rebates are incentives offered by power companies or local governments to encourage energy-efficient upgrades. These rebates help offset the cost of purchasing and installing new lighting systems, like UFO LED High Bay Lights, which use significantly less energy than traditional metal halide or fluorescent high bays.
Rebates can be offered in two main forms:
-
Prescriptive Rebates – Set dollar amounts for specific products.
-
Custom Rebates – Based on calculated energy savings.
Are UFO LED High Bay Lights Eligible?
In many cases, yes — UFO LED High Bay Lights are eligible, but it depends on several factors:
-
Your location and utility provider
-
The specific product model
-
Compliance with energy efficiency standards (such as DLC or ENERGY STAR)
The most important thing is that the lights must be DLC (DesignLights Consortium) listed. Most rebate programs require this certification to ensure the product meets performance and efficiency standards.
How to Check Rebate Eligibility
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you find out if your UFO LED High Bay Lights qualify:
1. Locate Your Utility Provider’s Website
Search online for your utility company’s rebate program or go directly to their energy efficiency or commercial lighting rebates page.
2. Use Rebate Finder Tools
Many utilities partner with rebate platforms like:
-
Manufacturer or distributor rebate finder tools (such as those from Philips, GE, or Keystone)
You can search by product type, location, or model number.
3. Check Product Listings
Look for the DLC Premium or Standard Certification on your UFO High Bay model. If it’s listed, it’s more likely to qualify for rebates.
4. Review Program Requirements
Some programs have additional rules, like:
-
Minimum number of fixtures
-
Installation by licensed contractors
-
Pre-approval before purchase or installation
Make sure to read the fine print.
5. Submit an Application
Once you confirm eligibility, you may need to:
-
Complete a rebate form
-
Provide product specs and invoices
-
Schedule a post-installation inspection
Bonus Tip: Work with a Lighting Professional
Working with a lighting supplier or contractor who is familiar with utility rebate programs can save you time and ensure you don’t miss out on any incentives. Many suppliers even handle the paperwork for you!
