FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide for Benton homes and businesses?
Our team handles complete LED retrofits, new-construction lighting design, high-efficiency fixture installation, smart controls (dimmers, occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting), exterior/security lighting, and specialty solutions such as tunable-white and color-changing architectural systems. Whether you have a single-family home, an office, retail space, warehouse, or parking lot, we design a tailored package that maximizes efficiency, light quality, and visual comfort.
How much money can I save by converting to LED lighting?
Typical Benton customers see energy use for lighting drop 50–75 %. If your current fixtures are T12 fluorescents or metal-halide, savings can reach 80 %. For a 10,000-sq-ft commercial space spending $900 per month on lighting, that can translate to $5,000–$8,000 in annual utility savings. LEDs also last 3–5 × longer, cutting maintenance costs. Most projects achieve a full return on investment within 1–3 years.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Benton for lighting upgrades?
Yes. Entergy Arkansas and First Electric Cooperative both offer prescriptive and custom rebates for qualified LED fixtures and controls. Amounts typically range from $0.06 to $0.20 per kWh saved or $10–$50 per fixture. In addition, federal tax deduction §179D may allow commercial building owners to deduct up to $0.63 / sq ft for lighting efficiency improvements. We prepare the paperwork, submit rebate applications, and factor incentives into your project quote so you see the lowest possible net cost.
Will the installation disrupt my daily operations?
We schedule work around your needs—night, weekend, or phased installations—to minimize downtime. Most residential retrofits are completed in one day. A 20,000-sq-ft office can usually be upgraded in two to three evenings. Our licensed electricians use lift equipment with spotters, maintain clear walkways, and follow NFPA 70E safety protocols. You’ll receive a detailed timeline in advance, and our crew cleans the site and responsibly recycles old lamps and ballasts before leaving.
Do the new fixtures comply with Benton and Arkansas electrical codes?
Absolutely. All products we install are UL or ETL listed and DLC-qualified, and we pull any required city permits. Our electricians follow the 2023 National Electrical Code as adopted by the State of Arkansas, along with Benton’s local amendments on exterior lighting glare and dark-sky compliance. Upon completion you’ll receive a signed inspection report and manufacturer specification sheets for your records.
What kind of warranty and ongoing support do you offer?
Most LED fixtures carry a 5- to 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, and smart controls are backed for 2–5 years. In addition, Innovative Solutions Electrical provides a two-year labor warranty covering any workmanship issues. If a fixture fails under warranty, we handle the RMA, supply the replacement, and reinstall it at no charge. We also offer optional preventative-maintenance plans that include annual lighting audits, control-system firmware updates, and emergency service within 24 hours.
