Good news! The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extends the energy-efficient buildings accelerated tax deduction for five years, through December 31, 2013. Offset your lighting investment with big tax savings!

Still using T12 fluorescents and corresponding magnetic ballasts? Largely considered antiquated technology, effective June 30th of 2010, you'll no longer be able to purchase replacement magnetic ballasts to support those T12 lamps - that's less than one full burn cycle away. Your energy saving options are unlimited. See examples of energy saving fluorescent solutions that will make you compliant with legislation!
