Lighting & Equipment Controls

In times when money is tight, we very often look for ways to trim the bottom line. Too often, we take short cuts to reduce our overhead costs. Let's take a look at what you can do now to save. Why wait until you have to do something?

How many times have you been in your office and left without shutting off the lights? Too ashamed to admit it? Let me give you some cold hard facts!

1. The average cost of a four lamp fixture per year is $60. This may vary by location.

2. The percentage of time the lights are on whether its' your office or the bathroom is surprising! As much as 30% of the time the lights are left on with no one present.

3. As an example of what you can save. We did a study for a technical school. The classroom we did had 9 fixtures in it. That's 9 x 193 watts. The savings were over $500 per year. Now take that times the number of fixtures you have and think about what you could do with that money in your pocket.
