FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to the latest LED lighting technology in Benton?
LEDs use up to 75 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen lamps, last 25–50 times longer, and emit far less heat, reducing cooling loads in the summer. Modern LED fixtures also deliver higher-quality light with multiple color-temperature options (from warm 2700 K to daylight 5000 K), instant full-brightness start-up, and no flicker or buzzing. Because they contain no mercury, LEDs are easier to recycle and help lower Benton’s overall environmental footprint.
How much money can I save by upgrading to LEDs?
Savings depend on your current wattage, operating hours, and utility rate, but most Benton homeowners and businesses see energy-bill reductions of 50–80 %. For example, replacing ten 60 W incandescents that run 4 hours a day with 10 W LEDs can cut annual electricity use by about 730 kWh—roughly $85 at Benton’s average rate. Commercial facilities operating longer hours often recoup their investment in 12–24 months through energy and maintenance savings alone.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Benton for LED lighting upgrades?
Yes. Entergy Arkansas and Benton Utilities regularly offer prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED retrofits, covering a portion of the fixture cost or providing a per-kilowatt-hour incentive. In addition, federal tax deductions under the Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Section 179D) may apply to larger projects. We can help you identify current programs, prepare paperwork, and submit rebate applications so you receive the maximum financial benefit.
Will the new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring, switches, and dimmers?
In most cases, yes. Modern retrofit bulbs are designed for standard E26/E27, GU10, and fluorescent-tube sockets, while new LED troffers and high-bay fixtures connect directly to 120–277 V lines. If you have older TRIAC dimmers, we recommend upgrading to LED-compatible models to avoid flicker and achieve smooth dimming from 100 % down to 5 %. During our site survey, we test circuit loads, identify any incompatible components, and propose cost-effective solutions so your system functions flawlessly.
How disruptive is the installation process and how long will it take?
Residential projects involving simple lamp swaps or recessed-can retrofits are usually completed in a few hours with minimal disturbance. Commercial upgrades—such as replacing troffers, high-bays, or exterior parking-lot fixtures—can take one to three days, depending on building size and ceiling height. We schedule work around your business hours, use dust-free methods, and handle safe disposal or recycling of old lamps and ballasts per EPA guidelines, ensuring a smooth, clean installation.
What is the expected lifespan and maintenance requirement of LED lighting?
Quality LEDs are rated for 50,000–100,000 hours (11–22 years at 12 hours/day) before light output drops to 70 % of the original (known as L70). Unlike fluorescents, LEDs have no filaments or glass tubes that break, so maintenance largely involves occasional dusting of fixtures to maintain thermal performance. Most products we install carry a 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranty covering premature failure, giving Benton property owners long-term peace of mind.
