Commercial Lighting

Lighting typically accounts for 20% of commercial energy use. Our most common lighting recommendations are:

  • Replace incandescent PAR38 floodlights with compact fluorescent equivalents. For security lighting, this can pay for itself in a few months.
  • Replace halogen downlights with compact fluorescent or LED equivalents. New options are becoming available which provide good quality light at much lower energy use
  • Install T5 retrofit kits to replace magnetically ballasted T8 fluorescent tubes
  • Install timers, motion sensors and ambient light sensors to turn lighting off when not required
  • Educate your staff to turn lights off when not required, and institute an end of day procedure

 LED lighting retrofits offer high ROI

Changing over the lights in your business premises with energy efficient alternatives is one of the fastest ways to reduce your energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Retrofitting existing high energy consuming lamps with low wattage direct replacements offers incredibly high return on investment and short payback periods.
 

• Save approximately 90% off your lighting bill by retrofitting your halogen downlights with LED’s. For example, if you replaced 20 halogen downlights in your office that are switched on for 8 hours per day, you could save around $500 per annum

• Reduce air conditioning costs in summer by removing halogen lamps with high operating temperatures to achieve higher A/C set-points using less energy to operate

• Retrofit lamps have now significantly reduced in price

• Further savings are available through Do-It-Yourself lamp conversion thanks to Direct Replacement technology now on offer

• Demonstrate to your customers that you’re an environmentally conscious business owner

• Alice Solar City provides a financial incentive of 35% for upgrading inefficient lighting
