COMMERCIAL LIGHTING
Why LED?
If your commercial building has fluorescent lights, having Smartwire upgrade your facility to LED with the Dominion Energy rebate is likely the greatest single reduction in operating cost you can make this year.
Moreover, a growing number of states are banning the use of fluorescent lights due to their energy use and harmful contents - upgrade to LED before replacing another fluorescent light!
No matter the type, size or use of your office or commercial building, you’ll enjoy two remarkable benefits from upgrading to LED with Smartwire
Revitalized Building Economics
With energy savings as high as 44% and generous Dominion rebates available while funding lasts, payback is typically 1-3 years depending on facility-specific factors
Dramatic savings on lighting maintenance: LED lights last up to 15 times longer than fluorescent lights
Increased asset value while reducing risk and carbon footprint
Improve building experience for tenants and attract customers with bright, welcoming environments, and no flickering associated with fluorescent lights
Increase safety and productivity, and minimize risk with well lit public and work areas
As of 2024, 137 countries and a growing number of US states have banned or agreed to phase out fluorescent lights due to their energy use and toxic contents; don’t waste money replacing another obsolete fluorescent light, invest in LED now and let Smartwire remove fluorescent lights from your building and safely handle their required disposal.
