FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to high-efficiency LED lighting in my Dayton home or business?
LED upgrades typically cut lighting electricity use by 50–75 percent, which can translate into hundreds or even thousands of dollars in annual savings. LEDs also last 10–25 times longer than traditional lamps, reducing maintenance costs and ladder time. Because LEDs run cooler, your air-conditioning load drops as well—an important advantage during Dayton’s humid summers. Finally, today’s LED fixtures offer better color quality and instant, flicker-free illumination that can improve safety, productivity, and visual comfort.
How can advanced lighting controls further optimize performance and savings?
Pairing LEDs with smart controls—such as occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting photocells, time-of-day scheduling, or networked wireless systems—lets you deliver the right amount of light only when and where it’s needed. Studies show controls deliver an additional 25–40 percent energy reduction on top of LED savings. Our designers analyze your floor plan, daylight availability, and traffic patterns to specify the most effective control strategy, then program and commission the system so you can monitor usage and tweak settings from a phone or computer.
Will you make sure my lighting upgrade complies with Dayton and Ohio electrical codes?
Yes. Our licensed electricians follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by the State of Ohio, as well as any amendments enforced by the City of Dayton. We obtain all required permits, schedule inspections, and install UL-listed components to guarantee code compliance and ensure your insurance and warranty protections remain intact.
Are there rebates or incentives available in the Dayton area to offset the cost of lighting upgrades?
Absolutely. Dayton Power & Light (AES Ohio) periodically offers prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, controls, and motor optimization projects. Federal tax deductions under Section 179D and utility on-bill financing may also apply. Our team prepares the paperwork, captures fixture specifications, and submits pre-approval applications so you receive every dollar of incentive available.
How disruptive is the installation process for my occupants or customers?
We schedule work around your operational needs—nights, weekends, or staggered zones—to keep downtime close to zero. In many retrofit situations we can reuse existing wiring and ceiling openings, allowing us to swap fixtures quickly with minimal dust or noise. Before we start, you’ll receive a detailed project timeline and communication plan so everyone knows what to expect.
How do I determine which fixtures and light levels are best for my space?
A one-size-fits-all approach rarely delivers optimal results. Our lighting specialists perform on-site audits that measure existing light levels (foot-candles), ceiling heights, surface reflectance, and task requirements. Using photometric software, we model different fixture types, beam angles, color temperatures, and control strategies to meet IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) recommendations for each area—whether that’s an office, warehouse aisle, showroom, or parking lot. You’ll receive a side-by-side comparison of performance, energy use, and payback periods so you can make an informed decision.
