• $15 per fixture to replace any “T12” fluorescent light fixture with T8 or T5 lighting with electronic ballast.

• $30 per fixture to replace 400-watt or greater mercury vapor lights with high-pressure sodium, and $20 per fixture for the same replacement of fixtures less than 400 watts.

• $10 per fixture to replace incandescent exit signs with LED versions.
