Product Information
Where can I find product specification sheets?
Easy. Just cruise on over to the product page and scroll down to “Guides & Info” on the right-hand side. Find “Spec Sheet” and click “Download File.” As a wise man once said, “Bada-bing bada-boom.”
Are product installation guides available?
Since we like to make things easy for you, we included one with each fixture. You can also find them on our website; just head to the product page and scroll down to “Guides & Info” on the right-hand side. Next to “Instruction Manual,” click “Download File.” And there you have it.
Can I use a different lamp in my high-intensity discharge (HID) fixture?
If the world was perfect, then yes. But it’s not, so no. The components used in a HID fixture are power consumption-specific. So, a metal halide (MH) lamp can only be used in a fixture with an MH ballast. The good news is that our fixtures use industry-standard lamps that can pretty much be purchased anywhere.
How does metal halide (MH) compare to high pressure sodium (HPS)?
Aside from the fact that they sound like they'd be on the periodic table, high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps give off a soft yellow/orange light and a longer lamp life, while metal halide (MH) lamps give you a white light with a higher CRI.
Do you offer additional products not shown on your website?
Why, yes, we do. If you’re interested in replacement parts, that is. Give us a call at 1-888-243-9445.
How are your products priced?
Fairly. And less than you’d expect. But our product prices, including promotional offers, can change. They also don’t include shipping, handling, tax, and all that other fun stuff.
Do you sell replacement parts?
If they’re available, yes. Call our customer service experts at 1-888-243-9445 and ask us.
What is Prop 65?
Here’s the thing: California regulates over 900 chemicals with Prop 65. Since we don’t specifically test for all of them, we’ve added Cali’s mandatory warning, just to make sure we’re following their new regulations. For more info, visit here
Installation & HID Disposal
Are lighting layout services available?
In a word: absolutely. Head to our Resource Center and look for our Lighting Layout Tool. The time and grief it’s saved our customers is the stuff of legend.
What do “typical mounting height” and “typical spacing” refer to?
Typical mounting height is the range (in feet above grade) that a fixture should be mounted. Typical spacing is the measurement used (in multiples of mounting height) that two or more fixtures should be mounted apart from each other. Once you get these right, you’ll be the grandmaster of optimal light distribution.
Where can I recycle lamps and batteries?
First of all, you should be commended. Second, these places: www.lamprecycle.org or www.earth911.com.

Can lamps for e-conolight products be purchased locally?

If purchasing less than 15 of an Overstock item – volume discount will NOT apply. Must purchase 15 or more to receive volume discount.
Do you charge sales tax?
We charge state sales tax on all orders. (We know; we hate it, too) You can submit a tax-exempt order, but to do that, we’ll need a valid Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate. Send your certificate to TaxCertificates@creelighting.com Or, if you want to mail or fax it:
e-conolight
Attn: Accounting
1501 96th Street
Sturtevant, WI 53177
Once your certificate is reviewed and approved, we’ll remove sales tax from your grand total. After that, your order will be charged and shipped. Still have questions? Our customer service professionals love those. Give ‘em a ring at 1-888-243-9445.
Can I use a promo code on top of the volume discount on Overstock products?
No, unfortunately not.
Can I use my e-cono+ loyalty discount on top of the Overstock volume discount?
You can, yes!
Can I purchase 10 of one Overstock product and 5 of another Overstock product and still get the volume discount?
Yes. You can purchase 15 of any item that’s marked as “Overstock” with an “Overstock” badge that’s on the “Overstock” page to get the volume discount.
How long will the volume discount offer last on an Overstock product?
Depends on stock/availability. Overstock products can change often depending on our stock of them. So make sure to take advantage of an Overstock volume discount deal you like.
Shipping & Delivery
When can I expect my order?
Place it before noon CT during business hours, and our in-stock items ship the same day [*EXCLUDES HOLIDAYS]. Expect a nice package on your doorstep within 3-7 business days. Orders over 300 pounds will be shipped common carrier and need to be unloaded by the customer (that’s you). All shipments are F.O.B. original and once the product leaves our factory, it’s considered all yours. Congrats, by the way.
How much does shipping cost?
All orders $500 or more are the best thing ever: Free. If an order is less than $500, we tack on a small 12.5% shipping and handling fee, with a $14.95 minimum, but the most you’ll ever pay for shipping and handling is $39.99. As a side note, to get free shipping, orders have to ship to one location, using carriers chosen by us. Hawaii and Alaska don’t qualify for free shipping, but they make up for it by being Hawaii and Alaska.
How can I find out if my order shipped?
You’ll get a nicely crafted e-mail as soon as your order ships. You can also check on your order by clicking here or by calling 1-888-243-9445.
