FAQs
What makes your LED fixtures more energy-efficient than traditional lighting options?
Our LED fixtures use advanced driver technology and high-efficacy diodes that convert up to 90 % of the electrical energy they consume into visible light, compared with roughly 10–20 % for incandescent or halogen bulbs. This means lower wattage draw for the same or better lumen output, translating into an average energy savings of 60–80 %. In addition, integrated heat-sink designs keep junction temperatures low, preserving efficiency for the life of the product.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bill after upgrading to LED lighting in Deer Lodge?
Savings depend on the size of your space, operating hours, and existing fixture types. For most homes and small businesses in Deer Lodge, customers typically report a 25–40 % reduction in their overall electric lighting costs within the first billing cycle. Larger commercial facilities that run lights for extended hours often see 50 % or more in annual savings, with payback periods ranging from 10 months to 2 years when rebates and tax incentives are applied.
Can your team retrofit my existing fixtures, or do I need complete replacements?
We offer both options. Our electricians will assess your current luminaires; many can be retrofit with LED lamps or retrofit kits that preserve the housing and wiring. This is cost-effective and minimizes disruption. However, if your fixtures are outdated, damaged, or incompatible with LED drivers, we may recommend full replacement to maximize efficiency, light quality, and long-term reliability. Either way, we provide a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis before you decide.
Are your LED products compliant with Montana and Deer Lodge electrical codes?
Yes. All of our LED fixtures are UL or ETL listed and meet National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, as well as Montana-specific amendments. We secure all needed permits through the Powell County Building Department and schedule inspections to ensure every installation in Deer Lodge is fully code-compliant and covered by manufacturer warranties.
What kind of maintenance do LED fixtures require compared with fluorescent or HID lighting?
LED fixtures are largely maintenance-free. The solid-state design means no filaments to burn out or ballasts to replace. Most products we install have an L70 rating—meaning they maintain at least 70 % of their initial brightness—for 50,000–100,000 hours, which equates to 10–20 years of typical use. Occasional dusting of lenses and heat sinks is usually all that’s necessary to keep them performing optimally.
Do you offer any rebates or financing options for Deer Lodge customers who install energy-efficient LED lighting?
Absolutely. NorthWestern Energy and several federal programs currently provide rebates for qualifying LED retrofits and new installations. Our office handles the paperwork, submits pre-approval applications, and deducts the incentive from your project cost upfront whenever possible. We also partner with local banks to offer low-interest, same-as-cash financing plans so you can spread the investment over 6–24 months while still enjoying immediate energy savings.
