Do
your fluorescent lights look like the ones on the left, or the ones on the
right? If you would like clear, natural, bright lighting that costs less, you
need to know about Sky-Lite Plus!
Sky-Lite
Plus lighting is a cost saving, labor reducing, safety enhancing plan that
begins at your fire station. Some of our readers know that we have been in the
lighting energy management business for the past several years. To be
frank, we never considered applying our services at fire stations until a
recent discussion with a municipal fire chief.
To
make a long story short, in the average fire station, the lighting in offices
and living areas is terrible, and in the bays, the lighting is even worse.
This is a safety hazard, a work generator (constantly replacing bulbs)
and expensive since the bulbs (T12's) and the ballasts (magnetic) are energy
hogs with a short operating life. Electronic
ballasts were introduced way back in 1981, but most of the fixtures in fire
stations that we see are still the magnetic type. Our electronic ballasts
eliminate flicker and hum while consuming less current and lasting longer (Five
year warranty).
Fortunately,
production of T12 bulbs ceased in July of 2012. There are still a few
around, but they are mostly all gone. The newer T8 bulbs produce more
light, provide better color clarity and last longer. Generally, new ballasts
and our exclusive Sky-Lite Plus bulbs will quickly pay for themselves in energy
savings ( Two Sky-Lite Plus bulbs will provide more light, better light, and
less expensive light than four standard T8 bulbs) plus they have a five year
warranty which reduces labor and replacement costs required to maintain less
expensive bulbs. If
you would like a demonstration and/or a quote on updating the lighting in your
fire station, give us a call at 800.489.2611. You'll be glad you did!
