Don’t Be Left in the Dark… Incentives Available for a Limited Time for T8 Lamps and Electronic Ballasts

You probably already know that T12 lamps are not only inefficient but also do not meet the new federal standard for fluorescent lighting. After July 14, 2012, T12 lamps will no longer be available as replacement lamps. Also, the San Francisco Commercial Lighting Ordinance requires that 4-foot or 8-foot linear fluorescent lamps and ballasts in commercial buildings meet a specific efficiency standard. This standard is typically met with T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. 

Incentives are available for a limited time to encourage businesses to make the switch to T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. SF Energy Watch offers FREE on-site assessments to identify energy savings and to estimate the qualifying incentive. Take advantage of the incentives to replace your outdated lamps and ballasts with more efficient T8 lamps and electronic ballasts.

SF Energy Watch incentives for T8 lamps expire on December 31, 2012

All projects must be completed and final paperwork submitted and approved before this date. Remember that upgrading your lighting and processing the incentives may take several months, so act now before the incentives are all gone.
