Rebate
To qualify for this rebate, install a new high performance T5
or T8 linear fluorescent fixture or retrofit kit with advanced
optical design and T5 ballast or high efficiency T8 ballast that
meets the requirements below.
Requirements:
§ All 32-watt T8 lamps must be HPT8 or Super T8 lamps
and listed on the qualified High Performance T8 lamp list
at www.cee1.org.
§ All lamps must be rated as having 20,000 hours or greater
average-rated lamp life based on 3 hours per start (when
operated on program rapid-start ballasts).
§ T5 HO and T8 VHO lamps must have Color Rendering
Index (CRI) of 82 or greater.
•Ballasts:
§ All non-emergency T8 ballasts must be designated as
“Premium” by NEMA, or they must be listed as a HP
electronic ballast on the spreadsheet found on the CEE
web site at www.cee1.org.
§ T5 HO and T8 VHO fixtures must be program rapid-start
ballasts.
•Fixtures may be either 2' x 4' or 2' x 2'.
•Only certain combinations of sizes, lamps, and ballasts
are available. Please check the tables to the right for
approved combinations.
•Fixtures may be used for new construction or for the
replacement of existing fixtures (either on a one-for-one
fixture replacement or for fixture redesign).
•For more information, please visit www.pge.com/hplighting.
Additional Notes:
•T8 measures are based on the savings provided by utilizing
a one-lamp or two-lamp fixture instead of the industrystandard three-lamp fixture. Additional savings are realized
if a RLO ballast is used instead of the standard, base-case
NLO ballast. Please note that savings are reduced if a HLO
or VHLO ballast is used.
•T5 measures are based on the savings provided by utilizing
a two-lamp T5 fixture instead of the industry-standard
three-lamp T8 fixture. Additional savings are realized if
a NLO ballast is used instead of a HLO ballast. VHLO T5
ballasts are excluded due to insufficient savings relative
to the base case.

sensor (rebate code L1035 for $75 and rebate code
L1037 for $15). $75+ $15 = $90 total.
•T8 and T5: Program rapid-start ballasts are designed
to provide maximum lamp life in frequent lamp starting
applications such as in areas where occupancy sensor
controls are used.
•T8 Only: Instant-start electronic ballasts are the most

Exclusions:
Sensors for exterior installations do not qualify for
this rebate.
Additional Process:
New fixtures equipped with fixture-integrated sensors
used in stairwells, hallways, or garages sometimes qualify
through the “Bi-Level Stairwell/Hallway/Garage Fixtures”
rebate category and not the “Occupancy Sensor” category,
depending on their specifications. Please be sure that your
product qualifies under the correct category.
Additional Details:
•When used in conjunction with both T8 and T5 lamps,
program rapid-start ballasts are designed to provide
maximum lamp life in frequent lamp applications such
as in areas where occupancy sensor controls are used.
•When used in conjunction with T8 lamps, instant-start
electronic ballasts are the most popular type of electronic
ballast today because they provide maximum energy
savings and start lamps without delay.

Definitions
Bi-level Stairwell/Corridor Fixture: This type of lighting
fixture is designed to reduce energy consumption while
still providing appropriate illumination levels during
occupied periods and emergency egress. When spaces
are unoccupied, the fixture operates at low light levels.
Candelabra Base: A smaller screw-in base for light
bulbs with a 12-millimeter diameter, also referred to
as an E12 base.
Edison Base: The most common screw-in base for light
bulbs with a 26-millimeter diameter, also referred to as
a E26 (or medium) base.
ETL: ETL stands for the Electrical Testing Laboratory,
which marks products of compliance to applicable
electrical, gas and other safety standards. For more
information, visit www.etl.com.
Fixture: Refers to new equipment being installed based
on system wattage (lamp and ballast).
Fixture-Integrated Sensors: Occupancy sensors that
are factory- or field-installed in a lighting fixture which
are intended to control the lamps within that fixture.
High Performance Linear Fluorescent Fixture: Includes
complete fixtures or complete retrofit kits only. Fixture
efficiency that meets or exceeds 80 percent with
advanced optical design that includes nonplanar lens,
such as architectural and louvered designs. Either 2' x 4'
or 2' x 2' and can contain one or two lamps. Only certain
combinations of high performance lamps and high
performance ballasts are eligible.
High Performance T8 Lamp: These high-performance lamps
are also known as 800 series fixtures. Typically the third
generation T8 lamps outperform first generation 700 series
T8s in both lamp lumen output and longer lamp life.
NEMA Premium Ballasts: These are the most efficient
fluorescent fixed output and dimmable electronics for
T8 ballasts to be recognized by the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
Parking Garage: A parking garage is a covered building or
structure for the purpose of parking vehicles, which consists
of at least a roof over the parking area enclosed with walls on
all sides. Parking garages may have fences, rails, partial walls
(pony wall) or other barriers in place of one or more walls. The
structure has an entrance(s) and exit(s), and includes areas for
vehicle maneuvering to reach the parking spaces. If the roof
of the parking structure is also used for parking, the section
without an overhead roof is considered parking lot instead of
a parking garage.
Self-Contained Wall-Switch (Wall-Box) Lighting Sensors:
Line voltage units that are designed to replace a standard
wall switch without an additional switch/relay pack.
UL—Underwriters Laboratory: An independent product
safety certification organization. For more information,
visit www.ul.com.
Wall- or Ceiling-Mounted Sensor: This type of sensor is
generally installed to control multiple fixtures in a zone.
It typically requires a low-voltage switch and a relay pack,
but may include line-voltage type sensor as well.
High Performance Linear Fluorescent Fixture Ballasts:
National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA)
Premium or CEE qualified T8 ballasts or T5 ballasts.
High Performance Linear Fluorescent Lamps:
Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) qualified 4-foot
T8 lamps or 2-foot T8/T5 lamps with at least 20,000 hour
rated life and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) that meets
or exceeds 82.
