Providing ample, task-oriented lighting, has been shown to impact employee productivity. A well-lit work area reduces eyestrain and employee fatigue, creates a safer working environment and even boosts employee morale. There's no shadow of a doubt about it — proper lighting is too important to just be considered overhead cost to your business.

But that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities to save some money on operating expenses, too. In some commercial and industrial applications, lighting is a major component of the monthly electric bill. That's why the energy professionals at Jackson Electric Cooperative don't want you to be in the dark about lighting efficiency. Advancements in equipment and technology have made several energy efficient lighting options available today.

Let us help you make lighting changes that will benefit both your employees and your bottom line.

In fact, we so clearly see the benefits of energy efficient lighting that Jackson Electric Cooperative, in conjunction with the Dairyland Power Cooperative, is offering a special lighting rebate program. Switching to modern, energy efficient lighting has never been so affordable.

To qualify, you must install new lighting of the following lamp/fixture types — Electronic Ballast Fluorescent, Metal Halide or Sodium Vapor to replace existing inefficient lighting.

• Electronic Ballast Fluorescents will be issued a $6.50 rebate per ballast.
• Metal Halide Fixtures will be issued a $10.00 rebate per fixture.
• Sodium Vapor Fixtures will be issued a $10.00 rebate per fixture.

A minimum of any combination of five ballasts or fixtures is required to qualify for an incentive rebate from your cooperative. You will need to supply a copy of the invoice showing purchase of the new lighting lamps/fixtures before the rebate will be issued.

If you are uncertain about the energy efficiency or suitability of your present lighting system, contact Jackson Electric Cooperative. We can arrange an on-site review and investigate ways to better serve your lighting needs.
