It is easy for businesses to reduce energy costs by installing high-efficiency lighting. Now with instant discounts, contractors and business customers may purchase eligible linear fluorescent and LED replacement lamps at a reduced cost without a rebate form at Connecticut distributors.

And the instant discounts available at participating distributors help to offset the premium price of lighting, making energy-saving lighting fixtures and bulbs a cost-effective choice.

Finding the right energy-efficient lighting solution is easy.

You have access to discounts for a wide range of lighting, including LED Systems, exit signs, lighting controls and LED lights for coolers, freezers and refrigerator shelving.
