All businesses today are looking at ways to become more efficient and add money to their bottom line. Upgrading your lighting system is one way this can be done.

REASONS TO UPGRADE LIGHTING SYSTEMS

1. Energy Savings

Upgrading lighting systems can save from 28% to 55% of energy being used for lighting.
Examples: Based on $ .08 KWH at 60 Hrs/Week

4 lamp 4 ft 40 Watt lamps to 2 - 4 ft T10 lamps Will SAVE $ 14.00/Fixture/Year
(No Ballast Change Out)
2 lamp 4 ft 40 Watt lamps to 2 - 4 ft T8 lamps Will SAVE $ 9.75/Fixture/Year
4 lamp 4 ft 40 Watt lamps to 4 – 4 ft T8 lamps Will SAVE $ 19.22/Fixture/Year
2 lamp 8 ft 60 Watt lamps to 4 - 4 ft T8 lamps – Low Power Ballast Will SAVE $ 9.48/Fixture/Year
2 lamp 8 ft HO 110 Watt lamps to 4 – 4 ft T8 lamps – Normal Power Ballast Will SAVE $ 33.20/Fixture/Year
400 Watt MH to 8 - 4 ft T8 lamps Will SAVE $ 61.40/Fixture/Year

2. Light Levels

The light levels will go up with lighting upgrades. More light and less energy. More Lumens per Watt. Compare it to MPG (miles per gallon).

3. Less Maintenance

With the upgraded system, lighting maintenance will go down significantly. This means more savings to you! T8 lamps last longer than T12 lamps.

4. Rebates

Most utility companies are offering rebates as an incentive to business owners to upgrade their lighting systems. This can help offset the cost of the upgrade and add money back to your bottom line.

5. Tax Incentives

The Federal Government is now giving tax incentives to upgrade lighting systems. Check with your accountant or tax advisor.

With reduced energy costs, less maintenance, and more light, along with rebate and tax incentives, why not upgrade your lighting system? The reduced cost of operation and savings start on DAY ONE and will continue every day there after.
