Appalachian Power pays for a sensor in every fixture.

Its Virginia business programs pay for lighting controls built into each fixture, so the lights turn down when a room empties. We design it, supply it and test it.

Programs as of October 2026. We confirm yours before you buy. Sources

What controls do for your building.

Lower bills.

A sensor in every fixture averaged 63% lighting savings in the DesignLights Consortium's 2020 study, on top of LED.

Better light.

Lights come up when someone walks in and dim near the windows when the sun is doing the work.

Less upkeep.

Every fixture has its own address, so zones change in software when a layout does. No rewiring.

Upgrading lighting anyway?

Since January 2024, Virginia's statewide energy code calls for controls like these in new buildings and renovations. A sensor in every fixture is one way it lists to comply, and we design it in.

We check what you qualify for.

As of October 2026, Dominion Energy Virginia's lighting rebates have no line for networked controls. Your assessment shows what your building can get, whichever utility serves it.

How we work in Virginia.

Your building can be anywhere in the US. We design remotely and ship the kit set up and labeled by room. A local electrician installs it, and we test on site or remotely.

Questions owners ask.

Who qualifies for Appalachian Power's rebate?

Most business customers in its Virginia territory, on projects that replace older fluorescent, HID or incandescent lighting. Businesses with peak demand of 200 kW or less can use its direct install program.

When does the code apply to a retrofit?

When you replace 10% or more of the fixtures in a space, that space has to meet the control rules.
