Instant Lighting Rebates
District businesses can purchase energy-efficient lighting from a DCSEU Participating Distributor and receive instant rebates.
The DCSEU is partnering with DC area lighting distributors to offer instant rebates on energy-efficient tube lighting and lighting fixtures, making it easy and affordable for District businesses to take advantage of savings.
As of January 1, 2023, due to the new federal standard for light bulbs in the US, the DCSEU is no longer offering rebates on all LED screw-based lighting.
Interested in Being a Participating Distributor?
By working with DC area distributors, the DCSEU can offer lighting rebates to District contractors and businesses at the time of purchase. For distributors interested in participating, please check out the RFP for more details.
