Commercial LED lighting for Chicago and the suburbs.
Leader Lights is a ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider. We file Standard lighting applications, can take the assigned incentive check, and quote Small Business coverage for accounts under 400 kW. Naperville Electric is a separate municipal grant.
Two ComEd tracks
Standard for plants. Small Business for accounts under 400 kW.
Illinois pages do not use Michigan “$0 upfront on most projects” language. Coverage depends on the ComEd track, DLC fixtures, and the 90% project-cost cap.
Standard (EESP)
$0.80 per watt reduced on DLC SSL v5.1 interior LED. Controls stack ($0.23 occupancy / $0.25 vacancy / $0.30 occupancy plus daylighting). Reservation required at $10,000+. Cap is 90% of project cost.
ComEd program detailsSmall Business
Private businesses and public facilities under 400 kW peak. Typically 50–75% of project cost through ComEd’s Small Business offering — not a guarantee. We confirm demand from the bill during the assessment.

Naperville is not ComEd.
Naperville Electric uses the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency lighting grant, then the city caps awards at 50% of cost and $25,000 per customer per year. Geneva and Batavia municipal utilities do not offer commercial lighting grants — those jobs are quoted as paid retrofits.
