The challenge
A luxury dealership lives and dies by presentation. Mercedes-Benz of Fresno needed showroom-quality light across its showroom, service bays, and outdoor display lot — where dated fixtures ran long hours, distorted vehicle colors, and carried steep energy and maintenance costs.
The solution
NRG Incentives designed a full LED retrofit tuned for automotive retail — crisp, color-accurate light that makes inventory pop indoors and out — and secured a $15,000 utility rebate to bring down the cost.
