FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading to LED lighting in my Luttrell home or business?
LED technology uses up to 80 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs and about 50 – 60 % less than most fluorescents. Beyond lower energy bills, LEDs last 25,000–50,000 hours (10–15 years of typical use), which means far fewer lamp changes and reduced maintenance costs. Modern LEDs also deliver better colour rendering, instant start-up, and full dimming capability without flicker. In Luttrell’s hot summers, the lower heat output of LEDs can even ease the load on your air-conditioning system, yielding additional savings.
How much money can I actually save by upgrading my existing fixtures?
Savings vary with fixture type, run-time, and local utility rates, but most Luttrell customers see energy-cost reductions of 50–70 %. For example, replacing a 400 W metal-halide high-bay used 10 hours a day with a 150 W LED can save about 730 kWh per year—roughly $90 at current TEA/TVA rates. When many fixtures are upgraded at once, payback periods typically fall between 1 and 3 years, after which the lower operating costs become pure savings.
Are rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Luttrell?
Yes. Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) both offer prescriptive and custom incentives for qualifying LED upgrades in the Luttrell area. Rebates are usually based on the wattage reduced per fixture and can cover 15–40 % of the project cost. Our team files all paperwork, schedules any required pre- and post-inspections, and applies the rebate as an instant discount on your invoice so you don’t have to wait for a cheque.
What does the lighting-upgrade process involve and how long will it disrupt my operation?
1. Free on-site audit: We measure light levels, count fixtures, and review control systems. 2. Proposal & ROI report: You receive a detailed cost breakdown, energy-savings estimate, and incentive projection within 48 hours. 3. Scheduling: Installations are planned around your production or household timetable; night or weekend work is available. 4. Installation: Most residential jobs finish in a day. Commercial retrofits usually take 1–3 days per 10,000 ft², with sections isolated to keep your business running. 5. Final verification: We remove old lamps for proper recycling, test every circuit, and complete any utility inspection. Your space remains clean and operational throughout, with minimal downtime.
Will new LED fixtures work with my existing dimmers, sensors, or emergency circuits?
In many cases yes, but compatibility depends on the specific control hardware and wiring. During the audit we identify all dimmers, occupancy sensors, timers, and emergency back-up circuits. We then specify LED drivers that accept the same 0–10 V, phase-cut, or DALI signals, or we recommend low-cost control upgrades where needed. Emergency and exit lighting can be integrated with UL-listed battery packs to maintain code compliance (NFPA 70/101).
Do you offer maintenance or warranty support after the upgrade?
Absolutely. All fixtures we install come with manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years. If a lamp or driver fails within that period, we handle the RMA process and perform replacement at no labour charge. We also offer optional annual lighting inspections that include cleaning lenses, verifying light levels, and updating energy-savings reports so you can track performance over time.
