Lighting retrofits and upgrades in Idaho

Retrofitting is an upgrade of existing lighting to achieve maximum energy efficiency. By upgrading, utility costs decline and illumination levels generally increase.

We will come out to your site and give a FREE CONSULTATION on lighting efficiency upgrades.  Idaho Power currently offers rebates as an incentive for customers to retrofit their facilities. We work with our clients to ensure they get all of the rebates they for which they are eligible.

Most customers will qualify for the Idaho Power EZ Upgrades program.  If your project is large enough you can get into the custom efficiency program at Idaho Power.

The most common on retrofit is still the T12 fluorescent bulbs to T8 . By making this change the customer cuts energy consumption by approximately 25-50 percent. T8 bulbs operate on electronic ballasts, which are more efficient than the older magnetic ballasts used by T12 bulbs.  T8 bulbs also provide better lumen maintenance and typically last longer than T12 bulbs.  We don't just install the same generic bulb/ballast combinations for each job.   There are many different bulb/ballast combinations that can be used depending on customer priorities- max energy savings/increasing/maintaining light levels.   

Halogen flood lights can also be upgraded to either LED or PAR style CFLs. 

Convert incandescent exit light to LED exit lights.  This can up to 90% in energy cost over incandescent lights. 

Occupancy sensors are also a great way to make sure lights are not on when they shouldn't be.   Occupancy sensors automatically shut off lights when the space is not occupied.  Idaho Power rebates for occupancy sensors start at $35 per occupancy sensor and go up depending on type!  

There are also energy saving opportunities highbay industrial lighting.   The most common type of high bay lighting is probe-start metal halide.  Energy saving options for this type of lighting include pulse-start metal halide or highbay fluorescent T8 or T5 fixtures.  

We can also installing induction lighting fixtures as a replacement to traditional HID lighting.  Most induction lighting products come with 10 year warranties.
