Lighting Retrofit Rebate Rules and Qualifications
2016 Rebate Application
Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative
Specific Rules and Qualifications
The cooperative offers rebates to qualifying members who
purchase and install qualifying energy-efficient lighting
products in existing buildings. If the system configuration does
not fit one of the prescriptive rebates shown, the project may
still qualify for a rebate through the Custom Energy Rebate
program. The Custom Energy Rebate requires review and
approval by the participating member cooperative. Illuminating
Engineering Society (IES) light levels are recommended.
1. Fluorescent T8 or T5 Lamps with Electronic Ballast
Rebates based on installed equipment of one-for-one
replacement of incandescent fixtures, fluorescent T12 lamps
controlled by magnetic ballasts, or other fixture type that
produce similar kW savings.
2. Fluorescent Super T8 Lamps with Electronic Ballast
Rebate based on installed equipment of one-for-one
replacement of incandescent fixtures, fluorescent T12 lamps
controlled by magnetic ballasts, or other fixture type that
produce similar kW savings. Super T8 systems must meet the
following CEE criteria: – Lamps must produce at least 3,100
initial lumens; have a color-rendering index of (CRI) ≥81; have
mean lamp lumens of per watt ≥90 for instant start ballast or
≥88 for programmed rapid start ballast; a lamp life of ≥24,000
hours (at 3 hrs/start); and have lumen maintenance of ≥94%.
– Ballasts must have a ballast efficacy factor (BEF) at least as
high as the factors shown in the tables below.

3. Low-wattage T8 Lamps
• Rebates are based on the installation of 4-ft T8 lamps 28W
or less. Rebate is based on the number of lamps.
• Example A: Replace a 4-lamp 4-ft. T12 fixture with a 4-lamp
4-ft. T8 fixture with 28W T8 lamps; Rebate equals the T12 to
T8 fixture retrofit rebate of $20 plus the low-wattage T8
rebate of $2.20 ($.55 x 4) for a total rebate of $22.20.
• Example B: Remove standard 32W 4-ft. T8 lamp from a
fixture and install a 28W T8 lamp. Rebate equals $0.55.
4. High-bay Fluorescent T8 and T5HO Lamps with
Electronic Ballast
• Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of various
wattage HID fixtures including mercury vapor, high pressure
sodium, metal halide, pulse start metal halide, or other fixture
type that produce similar kW savings. See table on inputs
page for examples.
• High-bay fluorescent T8, T8 VHO, and T5 HO of various lamp
quantities must maintain corresponding lumen output and
produce kW savings based on their respective replacements.
Fixtures must meet the following conditions:
– Lumen maintenance >90%
– Fixture efficiency >80%
– Fixtures must have reflectors
•Fixtures with individual automatic controls installed qualify
to receive additional rebate per fixture.
5. Compact Fluorescent Fixtures (CFLs)
Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of
incandescent fixtures with new hard-wired (dedicated) or
modular fixtures containing pin based CFLs. For fixtures that
house more than one lamp, the rebate is based on the total
fixture wattage. (i.e., one fixture that houses (2) 18W CFLs
would be rebated as (1) 36W CFL fixture). Screw based CFLs
qualify at lower monetary levels.
6. Industrial Multi-Compact Fluorescent Fixtures
Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of metal
halide or fluorescent T12 lamps controlled by magnetic
ballasts.
7. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Fixtures
Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of
incandescent , metal halide, or mercury vapor fixtures. High
pressure sodium lamp wattage must be lower than existing
lamp wattage.
Lighting Retrofit Rebate Rules and Qualifications
2016 Rebate Application
Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative
9. Ceramic Metal Halide Fixtures
Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of
incandescent, halogen, mercury vapor, high pressure
sodium, metal halide, or pulse-start metal halide
fixtures. Ceramic metal halide lamp wattage must be
lower than existing lamp wattage.
10. Reflectors
Rebates are for permanently installed reflectors that
have a minimum four-year manufacturer’s product
warranty, are U.L. approved and result in the
permanent removal of fluorescent lamps from the
existing fixture.
11. Automatic Controls – Occupancy Sensors, Photocells.
Automatic controls must be permanently installed wall or
ceiling mounted, passive infrared, ultrasonic, or dual
technology sensors. Rebate for controlling an area, not
individual fixtures.
12. LED Exit Signs
Rebates are based on one-for-one replacement of the
entire incandescent exit sign to LED exit sign. CFL exit
signs do not qualify.
Warranty Information
Rebate qualifications do not imply any representation or warranty of such equipment, design or installation by the
cooperative. The cooperative shall not be responsible or liable for any personal injury or property damage caused by
this equipment. The cooperative does not guarantee that a specific level of energy or cost savings will result from the
implementation of energy conservation measures or the use of products funded under this program. In no event shall
the cooperative be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.
Other Important Program Rules
1. Installation must be complete before rebate funds will be issued.
2. Members and vendors must submit itemized equipment invoices, along with rebate application and worksheet, to
the cooperative. To ensure that the equipment installed meets the cooperative’s performance standards, these
invoices must itemize labor charges, quantity and price of the equipment installed, as well as information regarding the
manufacturer and model numbers for all lamps, ballasts and fixtures included in the rebate.
3. The cooperative reserves the right to conduct random inspections of installations.
4. The member is responsible for checking with the cooperative to determine whether funding is available and to verify
program parameters.
5. Project must comply with all program specific rules and qualifications.
6. The maximum rebate amount shall be the lesser of 50 percent of the project cost or $5,000.
7. Qualifying members must apply for rebates no later than November 18, 2016.

• The cooperative offers rebates to qualifying members
who purchase and install qualifying energy-efficient LED
lighting products . Energy Star and Design Lights
Consortium (DLC) are recognized approving agencies for
LED lamps and fixtures.
• LED interior lamps and downlight luminaires/fixtures

Fixtures.”
• The ENERGY STAR list of qualified luminaires includes a
variety of products. In order to qualify for the prescriptive
rebates for LED downlight luminaires/fixtures, the product
must be listed as “Commercial” or “Both” in the
“Application” column of the ENERGY STAR product list. In
addition, the product description in the “Product Type”
column must include the word “Downlight.”
• ENERGY STAR does not have a qualified products list for
LED canopy or soffit lighting or LED refrigerated case
lighting (therefore, an ENERGY STAR rating is not required
for those specific prescriptive rebates. See DLC for
qualifying guidelines).
• For exterior LED canopy and soffit lights eligibility, the
member must be replacing HID fixtures only.
• If the system configuration does not fit one of the
prescriptive rebates shown, the project may still qualify for
