FAQs
Why should I switch to LED lighting instead of traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs?
LEDs use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs and about 40–50% less than most fluorescents. They also last 25,000–50,000 hours versus 1,000 for incandescent and 8,000–10,000 for compact fluorescents, so you replace them far less often. Because they run cooler, LEDs put less heat load on your air-conditioning system, lowering summer utility bills in Jefferson City’s warm months.
Can I retrofit my existing fixtures with LED lamps, or do I have to replace the whole fixture?
In many cases you can simply screw in an LED replacement lamp that matches the socket type (E26, GU10, etc.). For commercial troffers, high-bay lights, or can lights, we offer drop-in LED retrofit kits that reuse the housing while updating the electronics. However, very old or damaged fixtures may not meet safety codes, so our technicians will inspect them during a free on-site evaluation and recommend either a retrofit or a complete LED fixture replacement.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill after upgrading to LED lighting?
Savings vary with usage, wattage, and local rates, but our Jefferson City customers typically see lighting-related energy costs drop 50–80%. For example, replacing ten 60-watt incandescent bulbs that run four hours a day with 10-watt LEDs saves roughly 730 kWh per year—about $90 annually at Ameren Missouri’s current residential rate. Larger commercial projects often pay for themselves in under two years through energy and maintenance savings.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Jefferson City for installing energy-efficient LED fixtures?
Yes. Ameren Missouri’s BizSavers® program offers cash rebates for qualifying commercial and industrial LED upgrades, and residential customers can purchase many ENERGY STAR® LEDs at discounted prices through participating retailers. Our team stays up to date on all local, state, and federal incentives. We’ll help you complete the paperwork, submit rebate applications, and ensure your new fixtures meet program requirements.
What color temperatures and brightness levels can I choose from with LEDs?
LEDs come in a wide spectrum of color temperatures, measured in Kelvin (K). Warm white (2700–3000 K) mimics incandescent light, neutral white (3500–4100 K) is popular for offices, and daylight (5000–6500 K) delivers crisp, bluish light ideal for task areas or retail displays. Lumens measure brightness; modern LEDs range from 450 lumens (40-watt equivalent) to more than 20,000 lumens for high-bay fixtures. We perform photometric layouts to ensure each space receives the right light level and color for comfort and productivity.
What kind of maintenance is required for LED fixtures, and what is their expected lifespan?
LEDs are virtually maintenance-free. Because they have no filament to burn out and use solid-state drivers, they can last 10–20 years under normal use. The most common service task is wiping dust from lenses or heat sinks to maintain optimal airflow and light output. Drivers may eventually fail after 50,000–70,000 hours, but they are inexpensive and easy to replace. Overall, you can expect far fewer ladder trips and bulb purchases compared to traditional lighting.
