FAQs
Why should I upgrade to energy-efficient lighting in Sunbright?
Lighting accounts for 15-40 % of a typical commercial or residential electricity bill. Switching to LEDs and other high-efficiency technologies cuts lighting energy use by up to 75 %, lowers air-conditioning load (because LEDs emit less heat), and virtually eliminates bulb replacement for 10–20 years. For Sunbright residents and businesses, that translates into lower monthly bills, reduced maintenance expenses, and a smaller carbon footprint that supports the city’s sustainability goals.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer?
We design, supply, and install a full range of solutions: high-efficiency LED retrofits for existing fixtures, new LED troffers and downlights, high-bay and low-bay luminaires for warehouses, exterior wall packs and parking-lot pole lights, smart occupancy and daylight sensors, dimming controls, and emergency/exit lighting. Every upgrade is custom-engineered to match your building type, ceiling height, light-level requirements, and aesthetic preferences.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills?
Savings depend on your current fixture mix, operating hours, and local electricity rates. Most Sunbright customers see a 50-75 % reduction in lighting kWh. For example, replacing thirty 4-lamp T8 fluorescent troffers that run 12 hours a day with high-efficiency LED panels typically saves about 9,000 kWh per year, or roughly $1,000 at Sunbright’s average commercial rate. Payback periods typically range from 1 to 3 years, and the LEDs continue saving for a decade or more.
Are rebates or incentives available in Sunbright for lighting upgrades?
Yes. Sunbright Electric’s Energy Smart Program offers prescriptive and custom rebates on qualifying LED lamps, fixtures, and controls—often covering 20-40 % of project cost. Federal tax deductions under IRS Section 179D may add up to $1.88 per square foot for commercial buildings that meet energy-reduction thresholds. Our team handles all paperwork, pre-approval, and post-installation verification to ensure you receive every dollar you’re eligible for.
What is the typical installation process and timeline?
1) Free on-site audit: We evaluate existing fixtures, controls, and utility bills. 2) Proposal: You receive a detailed report with savings projections, photometric layouts, rebate estimates, and a fixed-price quote. 3) Scheduling: Once approved, materials are ordered; most arrive within 7-10 business days. 4) Installation: Our licensed electricians work during off-hours if needed to minimize disruption. A small office upgrade can be completed in one evening, while a 50,000-sq-ft warehouse may take 3-5 days. 5) Inspection & rebate submission: We conduct final testing, light-level verification, and file all rebate paperwork. 6) Follow-up: You receive an energy-savings report and product warranties.
How do you ensure the new lighting meets local codes and delivers the right light levels?
All fixtures are UL-listed and DLC-qualified, meeting Sunbright Building & Safety codes and the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. We perform photometric modeling (IES files) to verify that target foot-candle levels per IESNA recommendations are achieved for each space—office, retail, warehouse, or exterior. Controls are programmed to comply with California Title 24 and ASHRAE 90.1 where applicable, ensuring optimal energy savings without sacrificing visual comfort or safety.
