What are Lighting Rebates?
Lighting rebates are incentive programs that help businesses save money when they upgrade to energy-efficient lighting. These rebates, often offered by utilities or government programs to reduce upfront project costs and make switching to LED systems more affordable.
Ontario businesses facing high lighting costs have real opportunities to offset 25-75% of LED upgrade expenses through established programs like Save on Energy’s Instant Discounts and Retrofit incentives. Faraday Lighting simplifies the process by recommending compliant DLC and ENERGY STAR products.
An LED retrofit is one of the easiest ways to bring down your utility costs. The savings are consistent, and pairing the project with rebates or incentive programs only increases the return on your investment.
Faraday Lighting specializes in LED retrofits and rebate solutions for Canadian businesses. Our process removes the administrative burden from your plate.

Our Step‑by‑Step Grants and Rebates Process for Energy-Efficient Lighting in Canada
Rebate Program Identification & Eligibility Check
Every facility is different. Faraday starts by reviewing your business profile and existing infrastructure to determine which rebates for energy-efficient lighting you can access.
We assess:
- Facility type: commercial, industrial, agricultural, institutional, or multi‑residential
- Location and applicable provincial/utility programs
- Existing lighting technologies (HID, T8/T12 fluorescent, early‑generation LED, etc.)
- Operating hours and critical areas (production lines, barns, greenhouses, cold rooms, office areas, parkades, yards)
From there, we map out the most advantageous government rebate program or utility incentives available, including:
- Instant or midstream point‑of‑sale discounts on qualifying LED products
- Prescriptive rebates for standard retrofit measures
- Custom retrofit programs for complex or large‑scale projects
- Sector‑specific programs (e.g., agriculture, food processing, municipal facilities)
You receive a clear, plain‑language summary of your options and estimated incentive amounts before any decisions are made.


On‑Site Lighting Audit & Savings Calculation
Next, our team conducts a detailed on‑site audit to build a strong technical and financial foundation for your project:
- Count and catalogue existing fixtures and controls
- Measure wattage, mounting heights, and typical hours of use
- Identify dark spots, over‑lit areas, maintenance issues, and safety concerns
- Capture any special requirements (washdown, high‑temperature, corrosive, dusty, or wet environments)
Using this data, Faraday prepares:
- An energy‑efficient lighting upgrade proposal with recommended fixtures and controls
- Projected kWh and demand reduction
- Estimated incentives from applicable lighting rebates
- Cash‑flow, ROI, and payback analysis (pre‑ and post‑rebate)
You see, in black and white, how the project will impact your operating budget and how quickly it will pay for itself.
Custom LED System Design & Product Selection
Once you’re comfortable with the numbers, we design a lighting system tailored to your operations and aligned with the rebate for energy-efficient lighting rules.
- Typical upgrade measures like bay LEDs deliver bright, even light across industrial spaces. while outdoor spots like yards or driveways facilitate reliable wall packs and floodlights.
- Vapour-tight fixtures are well known for dusty, wet wash-down areas, smart controls with sensors trim energy waste on autopilot.
Faraday prioritizes products that are eligible under your chosen government rebate program (e.g., DLC‑ or ENERGY STAR‑listed where required).
