If high-intensity discharge (HID) light fixtures are still hanging from the ceiling of your warehouse, a lighting retrofit or replacement could provide multiple benefits: reduced energy consumption, lower utility bills, reduced maintenance costs, and better quality lighting. And better lighting ...
Performing a life-cycle cost analysis allows you to see the total cost of a light fixture over its lifetime, including its initial cost and its expected operating and replacement costs. To compare the cost-effectiveness of several different types of technology prior to a lighting retrofit, you ...
What is Lumen Maintenance?
Lumen maintenance compares the brightness of the light produced by a light source when it’s brand new to its light output at a specific time in the future. You could, for example, compare its initial lumens to its end-of-life lumens to quantify depreciation over ...
Calculating appropriate light levels for a warehouse is made challenging by the fact that all different types of tasks may take place under one roof – and often within one area. Picking, packaging, shipping, receiving and office work all require different quantities of light in order to assure ...
Now that the old high-intensity discharge lights in many warehouses have been replaced by fluorescents and LEDs, facility managers are taking their energy-savings efforts to the next level and installing control systems. You could have the most energy efficient lights on the market, but if ...
