What is an Area Light and Where is it Installed
Area lights are outdoor lighting fixtures designed for general site illumination. They are commonly installed in various locations such as parking lots, alleys, loading docks, doorways, pathways, and other outdoor areas requiring consistent visibility. Area lights help enhance safety and security by providing bright, reliable lighting.
What They Replace
Typically, customers transition from older lighting technologies to area lights, moving away from:
- Fluorescent fixtures (typical wattage: 100W - 400W)
- HID fixtures (typical wattage: 150W - 400W)
- Incandescent lamps (typical wattage: 100W - 300W)
Our LED area lights provide a range of wattages, from 70W to 300W, offering lumen outputs that can match or exceed the light produced by traditional systems, with lumen ranges typically between 8,000 to over 35,000 lumens, depending on the wattage selected.
Why Utilities Rebate Area Lights
Utilities offer rebates for area lights because they are DLC-listed and provide significant energy savings. LED area lights use fewer watts than traditional lamps, with lifespans averaging 50,000 hours compared to only 10,000 - 15,000 hours for HID lamps. Businesses and spaces such as retail stores, warehouses, and industrial properties often qualify for these programs, taking advantage of the reduced maintenance costs and higher efficiency.
How Incentive Pricing Works at EZ Energy Save
At EZ Energy Save, the rebate is applied upfront, resulting in immediate savings for the customer. The cost variation depends on the specific utility program available to the customer. In many cases, utilities cover most or all of the installation costs, allowing businesses to upgrade their lighting without a significant upfront investment.
