Rebates and incentives

What happened to RG&E's LED rebates?

Most businesses in Rochester and Monroe County get their electricity from RG&E. Fairport, Spencerport and Churchville run their own village electric systems, and a few western towns such as Brockport are on National Grid. Your electric bill names your utility.

A New York State Public Service Commission directive required utilities across the state to phase out lighting incentives by December 31, 2025. RG&E and NYSEG ended their LED fixture rebates with the 2025 program year, and their 2026 to 2030 efficiency plan puts business incentives into heating and cooling, building shell, motors, refrigeration and process equipment instead.

What is still available for a lighting project:

  • Lighting controls. NYSEG and RG&E's 2026 plan still lists lighting controls, such as occupancy sensors, in its small business program, generally alongside other upgrades.
  • A NYSERDA energy study. NYSERDA's FlexTech program shares the cost of an energy study for commercial, industrial and nonprofit buildings that pay the System Benefits Charge on their electric bill, and the study can cover lighting.
  • The savings on your bill. LED fixtures use about half the power of the fluorescent fixtures they replace and about a third of the power of metal halide, so most retrofits still pay back on the bill alone. We size the wattage to the space so you are not paying to overlight it.

A Rochester example: high bays in a two-shift plant

A 400 W metal halide high bay draws about 455 W once the ballast is counted. Our UFO high bay at its 150 W setting puts out 21,000 lumens, so each swap saves about 305 W.

Over two shifts, about 4,160 hours a year, that is about 1,270 kWh per fixture, or about $190 a year at an example rate of 15 cents per kWh. Across 50 fixtures it comes to about $9,500 a year, with no more relamping. Run your own numbers with your hours and the rate on your bill.

Program details checked October 2026. Programs change, so we confirm what applies to your account before you buy.

Building types

Lighting for Rochester buildings

What we usually supply for the buildings around Rochester and Monroe County.

Plants and warehouses

UFO high bays from 100 to 300 W for open floors and linear high bays up to 400 W for racking aisles. The UFO comes in 120 to 277 V and 277 to 480 V versions, so it can match the power in an older plant.

Offices, medical offices and schools

2x2 and 2x4 troffers and flat panels from 15 to 72 W. If the existing troffers are in good shape, our Type A+B tubes run on a working T8 ballast or wire direct.

Retail, restaurants and shops

Linkable strip lights in 4 and 8 ft lengths, flat panels and slim recessed downlights for sales floors, kitchens and back rooms.

Parking lots and building exteriors

Shoebox area lights from 100 to 500 W and full cutoff wall packs, all rated to -40°F. On a photocell they run from sunset to sunrise, about 4,300 hours a year in Rochester.

Parking garages

Garage canopy lights from 40 to 75 W, sealed to IP65, with a sensor base for PIR motion control.

Emergency backup

Battery backup drivers from 8 to 40 W, and T8 tubes with a built-in battery, keep exit routes lit during a power outage.

How it works

From floor plan to delivery

Send us your space

Room sizes and ceiling heights, a floor plan, or photos of the fixtures you run now. A recent electric bill helps us work out the savings.

We lay it out and quote it

We plan the fixture count, spacing and wattage settings so the light level fits the work, then quote the project and check whether any incentive applies to your account.

We ship, your electrician installs

Fixtures ship from US inventory to your site or your contractor's shop, with a 5-year fixture warranty. Contractors can apply for B2B pricing and Net 30 terms.

Rochester LED lighting questions

Does RG&E still offer rebates on LED lighting?
Not on LED fixtures. A New York State Public Service Commission directive had utilities phase out lighting incentives by December 31, 2025, and RG&E's 2026 programs focus on heating and cooling, building shell, motors and refrigeration. Lighting controls still appear in some 2026 programs, and NYSERDA's FlexTech program can share the cost of an energy study. We check what applies to your account before you buy.
Is my building on RG&E or a village utility?
Your electric bill names the utility. Most of Rochester and Monroe County is on RG&E. Fairport, Spencerport and Churchville run village electric systems, and some western towns such as Brockport are on National Grid.
Will LED high bays work in an unheated warehouse in winter?
Yes. The UFO high bay is rated to run at -22°F, and our shoebox area lights and WP09 and WP11F wall packs are rated to -40°F. LEDs also reach full brightness the moment they switch on, without the warm-up time metal halide needs.
Can you work from a floor plan?
Yes. Send a PDF or a sketch with the room sizes and ceiling heights, and we will plan the fixture layout and quote it. The lumens calculator gives you a first fixture count in the meantime.
How long does an LED retrofit take to pay back without a rebate?
It depends on your run hours, your electric rate and what you are replacing. Swapping a 400 W metal halide high bay for a 150 W LED saves about 1,270 kWh a year on two shifts, about $190 at 15 cents per kWh. The ROI calculator runs it with your own numbers.
