  2. Get a free lighting assessment. Your contractor will audit your existing lighting and prepare a proposal for your review.
  3. Preview your new lighting. Your contractor will install a lighting sample, secure your approval before the full retrofit and help you complete your application.
  4. Schedule your installation. Work with your contractor to schedule your new energy-efficient lighting at your convenience. Enjoy your energy savings!
