For facility managers
Your building runs onsystems someone elseinstalled.
We retrofit the lighting, capture the ComEd incentive, and install around your schedule. Assessment to rebate check — one contractor, one scope, zero disruption to your operations.

Every commercial building tells the same story differently.
These are the conditions we document during the walkthrough. None of them are surprising to you — but the severity determines the scope, the timeline, and the economics of the retrofit.
Fluorescent fixtures past rated life.
T8 and T12 tubes averaging 50,000–70,000 hours. Ballast failures cycling at 1–3 per month across a typical 500-fixture building. Replacement tube availability tightening ahead of the HB2363 phase-out.
Lighting maintenance consuming labor hours.
Re-lamping, ballast swaps, and lens cleaning showing up on every maintenance report. Lift rentals for high bay access adding $200–$400 per service call.
Tenant and occupant complaints escalating.
Flicker in open-plan areas. Dim zones in corridors and stairwells. Color rendering that makes spaces feel institutional. The complaints are about comfort, but the root cause is infrastructure.
Energy load that doesn’t match the building’s age.
Lighting drawing 30–40% of the electrical load in buildings where the envelope, HVAC, and controls have already been upgraded. The lighting is the last legacy system.
Code and compliance exposure growing.
NEC 2020 requirements on existing systems. HB2363 fluorescent phase-out by January 2027. Corporate ESG targets that need verifiable Scope 2 reductions. The compliance surface area is expanding.
The maintenance report changes. The energy bill changes. The complaints stop.

Lighting energy reduction
Range across fluorescent-to-LED conversions depending on fixture type, hours of operation, and controls integration.
Near-zero
Lighting maintenance tickets
LED rated life of 50,000–100,000 hours eliminates re-lamping cycles. No ballasts to fail. No lens degradation.
Your building stays open. Your tenants don’t notice.
Every occupied facility gets a phased installation plan. Floor by floor, zone by zone, shift by shift. We coordinate with your maintenance team and your tenants’ schedules. Most commercial retrofits complete in 1–3 weeks.
Zone-by-zone phasing
Active work areas are never without lighting. We complete and energize each zone before moving to the next. Temporary lighting provided where needed.
Shift-coordinated scheduling
Night and weekend work available for tenant-sensitive spaces. Installation windows matched to your building’s operational rhythm, not ours.
Single-day fixture turnover
Old fixtures come down and new fixtures go up in the same visit. No staging in your corridors, no half-finished areas left overnight.
The scope depends on the building. So does the approach.
Warehouses & distribution
High bays at 20–40 ft. 150–400 W HID replaced with 100–200 W LED. Pick/pack area linears. Dock and exterior lighting. High fixture counts, high incentive capture.
Office buildings
2×4 troffers in open plan. Recessed downlights in corridors. Parking garage wall packs. Tenant coordination for occupied suites. Tunable white available.
Retail & mixed-use
Storefront, back-of-house, common area, and exterior. Phasing around tenant business hours. Multiple-tenant notification and coordination.
Industrial & manufacturing
High bay, task lighting, cleanroom fixtures. Vibration-rated and vapor-tight housings. Safety zone compliance maintained during installation.
The rebate check is part of our scope. Not an afterthought.
We’re an enrolled ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider. We file the incentive application directly — no third-party aggregator, no additional paperwork on your end.
One signature.
Utility authorization form. That’s your only filing requirement. We handle every step: audit, pre-application, install, inspection, and the incentive check.
Standard Offering
Per-watt incentive for straightforward fixture-for-fixture retrofits across the full facility.
NLC Premium
Additional incentive layer when networked lighting controls are added to the retrofit scope.
Start with a walkthrough.
We assess the facility, model the savings, calculate the incentive, and deliver a fixed-price proposal. You review it, ask questions, decide on your timeline. Takes about 15 minutes of your time to start.
