Leading LED lighting manufacturer LG Electronics today announced that its Performance Line of LED troffers and retrofit kits are now qualified for the maximum level rebate ($30 per kilolumen) under the new Troffer & Troffer Integrated Retrofit Kit offering from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).
