Install and start saving energy.
Energy Trust is working with participating distributors to offer instant discounts on a variety of popular LED lamps and fixtures, such as TLEDS, interior and exterior fixtures, A-line lamps and canister downlights.
For a complete list of qualifying products, read the Instant Discounts for Business Lighting Flyer or visit a participating distributor in your area. A participating distributor will confirm your eligibility, provide more information about specific LED lamps or fixtures, and can help you identify qualifying products that meet your needs.
Energy Trust offers incentives to qualifying distributors to stock and sell high-efficiency lighting products at a discount to their customers. This allows purchasers to receive premium lighting products at a comparable cost as conventional, less energy-efficient products.
Lighting can consume as much as 20% of the energy used by a business. When businesses upgrade to high-efficiency LED lighting fixtures and products, they can save on their energy bills and also help improve the appearance and safety of their business or facility. By offering instant discounts, we can help more customers gain the benefits of high-quality, high-efficiency lighting.
Incentives are paid directly to participating distributors and are passed through to you as an instant discount on your invoice when you purchase qualifying high-efficiency lighting products.
All Portland General Electric and Pacific Power business customers are eligible, as long as qualifying lighting products are installed at an eligible commercial, industrial or multifamily (common area only) site in Oregon. Before you purchase qualifying products, the distributor will enter the installation address and product information into an online tool to verify the site is eligible.
The distributor will ask for the business name, installation address, and building type at the point-of-sale. You do not need to provide your electric utility account number. Installation of the products purchased through the Instant Discounts Offer is required within 90 days from purchase date.
No, the offer needs to confirm that the products will be installed at a site served by Portland General Electric or Pacific Power, so the end user’s address is required.
Products must be on ENERGY STAR or Design Lights Consortium (DLC)’s qualified product list. To see a list of qualifying products, read our Instant Discounts for Business Lighting Flyer.
If these products don’t meet your needs, you could participate through Energy Trust’s Standard offering. Learn more about available cash incentives by visiting our pages for Commercial lighting, Multifamily lighting or Industrial lighting. If you operate a grow facility, visit our horticultural lighting page for available cash incentives.

- No paperwork or signatures are required from the purchaser or customer unless the total incentive amount is over $7,000.

- Contractors and trade allies can increase business and gain an edge over the competition by passing on savings to customers as an instant discount.

- Customers receive top-quality lighting performance, lower energy costs and equipment lasts longer, resulting in less maintenance and long-term savings.
