Retrofitting Your Existing Fixtures
Energy Efficient Fluorescents
One widely recommended quick fix is the replacement of incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps, which offer the same amount of light for about 75% less energy.
We are still surprised to find that many of the facilities we visit stock 20 or 25 light bulbs. One of first recommendations is to have as few bulbs as possible to stock. MAC Solutions will retrofit your existing fixtures to accommodate two foot bulbs. If you are using four foot bulbs we simply convert the fixture to accept four two foot bulbs saving you time, energy and stocking costs.
Light Emmiting Diodes (LED's)
LED (light emitting diode) lamps are ideal for factories, institutional and commercial facilities because of the ability to deliver powerful levels of white light at an inexpensive price. Furthermore, LED lamps use only 10% to 20% of the energy consumed by comparable incandescent bulbs. Retrofitting can be as simple as screwing in a light bulb.
LED's have a reasonable life time of 60,000 to 100,000 hours. Replacing one 60 watt bulb with a comparable LED bulb will save over $700 over the life of the bulb.
Incorporate Lighting Controls
Incorporating lighting controls, such as occupancy sensors and dimmers with your lighting upgrade reduces energy usage by 30%.
This technology is intelligent lighting because electricity is only used where and when it's needed. Sensors slowly dim down the lights to off, while the uplight remains on to provide ambient light.
