Frequently Asked Questions About BulbGuy Lighting
What brands do you carry?
We offer a diverse range of lighting products from multiple brands. Unlike traditional distributors, we don't have exclusive agreements with major brands. This flexibility allows us to adapt to technological changes and offer the best products in each category. We carefully select brands based on their strengths and avoid those with known weaknesses in certain product lines.
Does it cost more money to have a lighting specialist assigned to my account?
Having a lighting specialist assigned to your account typically results in cost savings. The product prices remain the same, but our specialists help streamline your ordering process, standardize your product selection, and identify ways to reduce costs in your lighting system. Essentially, you receive expert guidance at no additional cost, often leading to overall savings.
How does your "throw your ladder away guarantee" work?
Our guarantee extends beyond the manufacturer's warranty. If a product fails within the warranty period, we not only provide a free replacement but also send a technician to your location to install it at no cost. For any concerns about product performance, simply contact our office, and we'll address the issue promptly.
Who do i contact for a complete change of my lighting?
For any lighting project, large or small, please contact our office. We'll arrange for a lighting specialist to visit your location and provide initial recommendations. If you decide to proceed, we'll assign a project manager to oversee your project from start to finish, ensuring all details are addressed.
What is a typical payback i can expect if i change my lighting?
Our lighting upgrade proposals typically offer an average payback period of 1.63 years. This translates to an impressive 89.26% return on investment, making it a financially sound decision for most businesses.
What type of lighting is best for my business?
The optimal lighting solution depends on your specific needs. We consider factors beyond just the bulbs, as energy consumption accounts for 86% of total lighting costs, while bulb replacement and maintenance make up 14%. Our experts will assess your requirements and recommend a solution that balances efficiency, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.
My favorite incandescent bulb has been banned, what alternatives do i have?
Recent regulations have changed efficiency standards for lighting manufacturers, similar to fuel efficiency standards for cars. Many incandescent bulbs now have updated versions that meet these standards or are exempt. Our lighting professionals can help you find a suitable alternative that matches your preferences and complies with current regulations.
Have t-12 fluorescents been banned and how long they will be available?
T-12 fluorescent bulbs are not banned, but new efficiency standards have led to the discontinuation of some common t-12 bulbs. Many have been replaced with compliant versions or are exempt from new regulations. However, t-12 bulbs are generally less efficient than newer options like t-8 or led. We recommend consulting with a lighting professional to explore more energy-efficient alternatives, which may also qualify for energy company rebates.
What rebates are available from my energy company?
Many energy companies offer rebate incentives for commercial customers upgrading to more efficient lighting systems. These programs often cover 60-75% of installation costs, subject to specific requirements. Due to the complexity of qualifying products, it's advisable to work with a lighting company familiar with rebate details. Residential customers typically find rebates applied as instant discounts at retail stores.
How do i get rebates from my energy company?
For commercial customers, most energy companies require submitting paperwork after installing energy-saving products. Rebates are typically processed within weeks. Larger projects may require an inspection. If your project relies heavily on rebate funding, we recommend verifying eligibility with your energy company beforehand. Our team can assist with this process to ensure you receive your rebates promptly.
