If you haven't done away with your T12 fixtures yet, the time is now. These T12 bulbs are extremely inefficient and cost you a lot of money , and Xcel Energy is offering great rebates to get rid of them. Here are my Top 3 Rebates for Denver in 2018 , it's all about the T12's.

1. T12 Linear Strips - these are the number one energy consumers in the fluorescent family. They are most commonly called "Shop lights" or "Strips" , have 2 lamps, and come in 4' and 8' lengths. Xcel is offering $75 to replace an 8' fixture to LED . Linear strips are easy to install, and a large majority are showing payback periods under 3 years , with energy savings alone , and this is why; 8' T12 - 2 lamp uses up to 267 watts = 8' LED Linear uses just 65 watts
2. T12 Troffer - a troffer is most likely the fixture in your office at work, sits in the ceiling grid and has 3 to 4 lamps. How to tell if they are T12?, look for the label or, it is simply a 1/8ths inch system, a T12 will be 1 1/2" wide, and a T8 is 1" wide, easy right?

These fixtures are also easy to install and showing a payback around 3 years , with energy savings alone ; 4' T12 Troffer - 4 lamp uses up to 262 watts = 4' LED Troffer uses just 45 watts
3. T12 Refrigerated Case Lights - these rebates are still out there for all you liquor store owners that haven't gone to LED yet. This was one of the first LED rebates , has been widely used , and is why we are seeing the rebate amount going down. Although, Xcel is still offering a nice $55 per door when replacing T12 to LED . Case lighting is typically on for 18 hours a day and can save a lot of money when LED's are installed. The best part about all of the lights mentioned here, LED lighting is just a better light.
