Colorado Springs Utilities is offering business customers rebates to help cover the cost of retrofitting lighting fixtures with new high efficiency products. Because we are committed to helping our customers save energy and money, we are adding rebates for a wider selection of products -- check out the program addendum to see expanded rebate offerings.
Conversions from T-12s to T-8s may be eligible for rebates as follows:
$15 for each retrofitted 4-lamp fixture
$15 for each retrofitted 3-lamp fixture
$9 for each retrofitted 2-lamp fixture
$9 for each retrofitted 1-lamp fixture
Parabolic reflectors, fixtures, installation and disposal costs are not rebated.
Please see the application and addendum for complete details.
Lighting Audit Form Template (Excel) is meant to help commercial customers make an informed decision about participating in the Business Lighting Rebate Program. If you fill in the yellow areas only, it will give you a quick analysis of what you can expect for simple payback and return on your investment unique to your facility.
Lamp Lumen Output Guide (Excel) allows you to compare different light sources and their comparative light output depending on the lamps and ballasts selected for use.
Lamp-Life and On Hours (Excel) is a listing of the different types of fluorescent lamps and how different operating hours affect lamp life. In general, the longer the hours of operation the greater the lamp-life.
