Induction Parking Lot Lighting Saves Cash!!!

Energy efficient replacement solutions for Parking Lot fixtures (pole lights) were
virtually non existent until recently. Induction lighting has been a great alternative to HID
lighting for years. The popularity of this technology has been slowly growing in the
United States primarily on the west coast, but you still don’t see this technology used
much for outdoor area lighting. Parking lot lighting and Induction lamps are a great fit,
providing quality lighting while cutting energy consumption.
For example, using Induction lamps to illuminate Car Dealerships has wonderful
benefits not only energy savings. The high Color Rendering Index of the Induction lamp
enhances the colors of the products on display. Then you need to consider the long life
(100,000hr) that dramatically reduces maintenance, this is of great value for applications
where buckets trucks are often needed for re-lamping. The life span of one Induction
lamp will replace five HID lamp changes.
Most companies that use outdoor lighting such as pole mounted HID fixtures do not
operate on a 24 hour schedule. So this creates another question. What can we do to
reduce the consumption of these fixtures after business hours when only security lighting
is needed? Back to our Car Dealership example, after business hours cars are no longer
being sold creating a very wasteful and inefficient lighting system no matter what
technology is being utilized. There exists a great solution to this problem. half of this light can be shut
off after business hours when the only lighting needed is for security. During night time
business hours the light would operate at 300 watts, then after business hours the light
can be reduced to 150 watts greatly increasing the energy savings and not compromising
security.

Reducing outdoor lighting consumption will have a huge impact on your bottom line
creating positive cash flow with a quick return on your investment.
