When you’re pitching an energy efficient lighting project to a customer, you know they’ll be focused on the available utility rebates.
Between 70 - 85% of rebates require that a product is DLC listed in order to get a rebate.
DLC certification isn’t just for show. According to BriteSwitch’s RebatePro tool, “between 70 - 85% of rebates require that a product is DLC listed in order to get a rebate.” Customers will definitely appreciate you selecting products that maximize their rebate dollars.
Here are more benefits that can help you make the sale:
Product Quality. DLC approved products have been tested and verified. They meet the highest industry standards for quality and efficiency. That will give the customer peace of mind about having these LED lighting fixtures in their facility.
Better Lighting Quality. DLC listed products meet specifications for color rendering, light distribution, and glare. These all result in a better user experience. In fact, the right lighting can even contribute to employee safety, productivity, and end-product quality.
Energy efficiency. DLC certified LED lighting fixtures offer higher lumens per watt (LPW). The higher the LPW, the more energy is converted into actual output. Customers will like hearing they are getting the most lighting bang for their energy buck.
Product Value. A customer may ask why they should choose a more expensive DLC rated product over a cheaper product. It’s usually not difficult to get them to understand that a cheaper light won’t be eligible for top rebates, it may not last as long, it could require more maintenance, and it may not deliver an optimal user experience.
