Q4 is when many Ontario facility managers lock in next year's capital budget. If a lighting upgrade is on that list, the order you do things in matters as much as the fixtures you pick.

On December 21, Toronto's sun sets at 4:43 p.m. and doesn't rise until 7:47 a.m. That's about 15 hours of darkness, and your parking lot, wall packs and sign lights run through all of it. Inside lighting gets the attention. Outside lighting quietly runs up the bill.

Ontario facility managers still treat "the rebate" as one thing. It is not. Instant Discounts vs Retrofit — pick the Save on Energy path before you buy LEDs.
