Switch to LED Lighting with Con Edison and Save Big

Making the switch to LED lighting isn’t just an environmentally friendly choice—it’s also a smart financial decision. Con Edison’s Instant Lighting Incentive Program makes it easy for businesses and organizations to upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting, which can reduce your energy costs by up to 90%, at a low cost. This program is available to commercial, small business, multifamily, community residences, and religious or veterans’ organizations, offering instant incentives for qualifying lamps, fixtures, retrofit kits, and controls.

LED lights offer several benefits over traditional incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent bulbs. They last up to 15 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving time on maintenance. LEDs are incredibly energy efficient, costing just $1 per year to run compared to $7 for standard bulbs. Unlike traditional bulbs, which waste 90% of their energy as heat, LEDs use electricity solely to produce light while staying cool to the touch. They also provide high-quality illumination with no flicker or hum and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Many LED bulbs are dimmer-compatible, offering even greater flexibility.

To participate, customers work with approved contractors to select the best LED options for their space. Con Edison reimburses distributors directly for the higher cost of ENERGY STAR and DLC LED lamps, passing the discount on to customers as savings on their invoices. This means customers pay approximately the same as they would for standard products but receive a higher-quality, energy-efficient upgrade. With this streamlined process, businesses can transition to LED lighting quickly and start enjoying the benefits immediately. These upgrades not only reduce energy expenses but also improve the functionality and appearance of your space.
