Education Lighting Solutions

Energy-Efficient LED Upgrades for K-12 Schools, Universities, and Campus Facilities. Lowest-disruption retrofit kits engineered for summer-break installation, ESSER funding, and DLC-listed rebate eligibility.

Lighting by Campus Zone

From classroom to campus perimeter

Schools represent the single largest building stock for lighting retrofits in the United States. With ESSER funding still available and state energy mandates tightening, districts are upgrading to LED at unprecedented rates. ALG's selectRCH retrofit kits offer the lowest-disruption upgrade path — critical for schools that can only renovate during summer breaks.

ESSER & Funding Compatibility

ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funding through 2026 can be applied to facility improvements including LED lighting upgrades that improve indoor air quality and ventilation environments. ALG's DLC-listed listed products also qualify for utility rebates, stacking incentives for cash-strapped districts. Extended finance terms further ease the capital burden.
