Lighting

The benefits of energy-efficient lighting are straightforward and compelling.

Lighting can account for 20-50% of a business’ overall energy costs.
Lighting retrofits are one of the quickest and easiest improvements you can make to save energy.
In most cases, your investment will pay for itself in less than 2 years.

Hawaii Energy offers cash rebates on a variety of lighting products ideal for all kinds of use, including screw-in LED lamps, interior (office) linear LED tube lamps, LED lamps for CFL replacements, LED refrigerated case lighting, exterior LED lighting, LED exit signs and occupancy sensors. Use them to reduce your up-front payment, increase the efficiency of your facility, and lower your energy bills!

Standard vs. Customized Rebates: What’s The Difference?

Standard

Standard (also called “prescriptive”) rebates are a pre-determined rebate amount per unit. This includes products like LED linear tubes, screw-in bulbs, LED exit signs and more. See the Rebate Summary Sheet below for a full list.

Customized

Customized rebates cover other technologies not found on the standard list. The amounts of custom rebates are determined by actual energy savings during the first year, which is calculated by evaluating your business’ current lighting, new lighting and operating hours. Some of the most common types of customized projects include exterior lighting, high bay and lighting controls.
