Time is officially running out.
2025 is the final year that utilities in New York — including National Grid — will offer lighting incentives. And while that may sound like bad news, there’s still one last, golden opportunity: Shine Bright 25 in ’25.
This limited-time bonus adds 25% more to your standard lighting incentive. But you need to act fast.
What’s the Bonus?
Through the Shine Bright 25 in ’25 program, you can stack an additional 25% incentive onto any qualifying lighting project. That includes:
- Prescriptive lighting
- Custom lighting
- Lighting Express fast-track upgrades
- Illuminating Excellence for new construction/renovation projects
Key Deadlines
To qualify for the bonus and baseline incentives:
By November 15, 2025
- Return your signed customer report
- Installation must be started
By December 31, 2025
Project must be installed, paid in full, and post-inspection complete
Projects not completed by the deadline will not receive the bonus — and may miss out on all incentives as programs sunset statewide.
How Much Can Clients Actually Get?
Here’s a peek at current prescriptive incentive rates — before the bonus is applied:
| Fixture Type | Standard Incentive Range | +25% Bonus Potential |
|---|---|---|
| LED Interior Fixtures | $10 – $30 | Up to $37.50 |
| High/Low Bay Fixtures | $60 – $180 | Up to $225 |
| Exterior Wall/Area/Flood | $25 – $265 | Up to $331 |
| LLLC Controls | $30 | Up to $37.50 |
Custom incentives pay $0.25 per kWh saved, capped at 65% of total installed cost — making complex or large-scale upgrades more feasible than ever.
