The Commercial and Industrial Rebate Program available to KCP&L non-residential customers is producing energy-
efficient success stories. Light Bulbs, Etc., Inc. is in the thick of the energy savings revolution.
With energy savings at a premium, many local Kansas City metro area businesses are investigating and taking the
steps towards lower electric bills as suggested by the Utility. Light Bulbs, Etc., Inc. in Lenexa, KS has assisted
several KCP&L customers in not only identifying and obtaining the proper equipment for replacement but applying
for the C&I rebate for its customers as well.
Energy efficient lighting upgrades range from something as simple as changing to a Compact Fluorescent Lamp1
to switching from T12 Lamps and magnetic ballasts to T8 Lamps2 and energy-efficient electronic Ballasts3. Other
ideas include making the switch to LED Exit Signs4, Pulse Start Metal Halide lamps and ballasts5 or T8 and T5
Fluorescent fixtures.
Companies who have worked with Light Bulbs, Etc. include Long Motors and Surface Solutions in Lenexa, KS as
well as CFM Distributor’s and Ace Imagewear of Kansas City, MO just to name a few. Black states that "Many
businesses can cut their lighting electric consumption by as much as 50% just by changing the type of bulb and/or
ballast they are currently using. When you consider that KCP&L will pay for as much as half of the materials and
installation, it just makes good sense."
As energy costs continue to rise, now may be the opportune time to consider upgrading current lighting technologies
to take advantage of rebate opportunities.
