Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for LED tube utility rebates?
Step 1: Verify your LED tubes are on the DLC QPL at designlights.org. Step 2: Check your utility's rebate portal (e.g., pge.com/rebates, coned.com/rebates). Step 3: Complete the rebate application with purchase invoices and product spec sheets. Step 4: Submit within the utility's deadline (typically 90–180 days after installation).
Do I need DLC Premium for maximum rebates?
Yes. Most utilities offer 50–100% higher rebates for DLC Premium (≥140 lm/W) vs DLC Standard (≥100 lm/W). All Cornea LED tubes are DLC QPL listed; specify DLC Premium grade when ordering for maximum rebate eligibility.
Can I combine utility rebates with Section 179D tax deductions?
Yes. Utility rebates and Section 179D tax deductions are separate programs and can be combined. Section 179D provides $0.50–$5.00/sq ft tax deduction for commercial buildings meeting ASHRAE 90.1 lighting standards. LED tube retrofits typically qualify for the full $5.00/sq ft deduction.
