Incentive & Rebate Information

Utilities all over the US are actively promoting rebates on HID fixtures with Electronic Ballasts for new and retrofit installations. Utilities are talking to their customers about the impact their choices have on the environment, emphasizing energy and money savings. After all, in most businesses, lighting is the main driver of energy bills, accounting for up to 44% of energy costs.

Metrolight SmartHID™ is the electronic ballast of choice to fully take advantage of these new rebate opportunities. Not only does it offer the only remote ignition product for the retrofit market, its “smart” capabilities take advantage of all added incentives for controls.
