A Complete Restaurant Remodel Gets Significant Rebates
In 2012, a national restaurant chain was going to perform a complete rehab in one of its older restaurants. The remodel meant completely changing the floor plan of the restaurant, creating brand new kitchen and dining areas as well as a new parking lot. Since they were installing new energy efficient technologies such as LED lighting, T8 fixtures and kitchen equipment, the chain called on BriteSwitch to see if there could be any rebates or incentives available.

How A Retail Chain Maximized Their Rebate Dollars
for a LED Project
In late 2011, a retail chain with 228 mid-sized stores was looking to upgrade from halogen track and recessed lighting to LED lamps in order to save energy and improve the look of their stores. They wanted to do the installation quickly and in a very tight time frame before their budgeted money would run out. They also didn't want to miss out on any of the rebate money that was available, so they asked BriteSwitch to help. In the end, BriteSwitch was able to capture 62% more rebates than originally planned..

A Major Apparel Chain Learns That Paying
A Little More Can Get A LOT More
A major apparel chain with over 700 locations across the US was working on an initiative to upgrade from old, inefficient T12 lighting to newer T8 lighting. At the start of the project, the retail chain chose a specific T8 lamp and ballast to use across all their stores. Working with the contractor and distributor, BriteSwitch found an alternate lamp/ballast to use in some of the stores that cost only $0.25 more but brought in $50 more in rebate per fixture.
