Many Options for Retrofit

We offer retrofits for many bulb types.

The KCP&L Rebate Program:


The energy rebate program for business customers is available to most Missouri businesses (Kansas customers, we can still save you 50%-75% off your lighting portion of the energy bill!). This program rebates YOU (not us) up to 40% of the total cost of the lighting upgrade project. The rebate includes product cost, labor cost, and all associated materials. It does not cover sales tax. The rebate comes in the form of a check once the project has been completed. Example, if your LED lighting project was $10,000, an approved rebate is often times 30+/-%. 
Excel Lighting & Sign handles all the paperwork, applications, documentation, and approval process. All you have the do is cash the check.

What products qualify?


In order to qualify under the latest (2015) guidelines of the KCP&L Rebate Program, all LED light fixtures used must be on a Design Lights Consortium List (DLC).  This is a very strict, non-profit agency that regulates LED manufacturers. They run fixtures through a “process” and only those that meet certain guidelines qualify.  What does this mean to you?  All fixtures Excel Lighting & Sign uses have been tested and meet quality guidelines.  Excel Lighting & Sign has expanded our network of LED manufacturers and are now Kansas City distributors for many top of the line LED manufactures.  Many of which are assembled and built right here in the USA.

If you are considering making the switch to LED, please be aware that sometimes the cheapest fixture is not always the cheapest fixture in the long run.  All of the fixtures we represent come with a 5 to 10 year warranty and are manufactured with high quality LED chips and parts.

What type of fixtures can be retrofitted?


Excel Lighting & Sign has taken pride in staying abreast of the latest changes in the LED marketplace.  We have strived to carry a wide range of LED lighting fixtures that allow businesses of all types to achieve energy savings by making the switch.  Here is a partial list of light fixture types that we can retrofit and are eligible for rebates:

Financing:

Don’t let the cost to upgrade your lighting to LED deter you from pursuing a project.  We offer 100% (no required down payment) financing for all LED retrofit projects.  What does this mean?  You immediately see positive cash flow from your investment from Day 1.  We can arrange leases ranging from 2-4 years.  You own the equipment at the end of the lease.  And often times, your energy savings on your KCPL bill is greater than your monthly lease payment.

The KCP&L Rebate Process:


So, you are ready to move forward?  Here is a typical process flow of how a LED rebate project works:

  1. Contact us to schedule an on-site visit and survey existing light situation, number of fixtures, type of fixtures, current light levels, etc.
  2. We provide you a full quotation for LED light fixtures, perform an energy savings analysis with payback calculations based on your current hourly usage and KCPL energy rates, and full spec sheets on all fixtures used.
  3. NEW IN 2016! – Now LED lighting is pre-approved and on the Standard Lighting rebate with KCPL.  This means  we can install the new LED light fixtures (no need for pre-approval), we fill out the application from KCPL for the energy rebate.  We handle all the details and communication with KCPL to ensure a speedy approval.
  4. Once the energy rebate is approved, KCPL mails you a check.
  5. Check arrives in your mailbox.  You make a trip to the bank!
  6. You see the energy savings on your KCPL electric bill for decades to come.

We look forward to showing you what Excel Lighting & Sign can do for your business.
