Advanced
Energy has “seen the light” so to speak. Our experience
has shown us that true energy efficiency is not the result of
a single solution or strategy. Because of recent advances in
lighting technology, both lighting fixtures and bulbs have become
an important part of the bigger energy conservation picture.
In the United States, lighting accounts for as much as twenty
five percent of the electricity used annually. Of that total,
approximately ninety percent represents electricity used for
industry, business, offices and warehouses.
This illustrates that rising
energy costs have made it important to design lighting systems
that utilize a lower number of fixtures that maximize light
output and minimize energy consumption. If designed correctly,
it is not uncommon to save up to 50% on your electricity bill,
as a result upgrades to existing lighting systems and
re-lighting is at an all-time high.

customers have to say about us.
For
example, one compact fluorescent bulb can last as long as nine
incandescent bulbs, or up to seven years, that savings
adds up to about $32 per bulb. In fact, replacing just 25 percent
of incandescent bulbs in high-use areas with compact fluorescents
could cut your lighting costs in half.

Incandescent
bulbs waste 90% of their energy generating
heat. Because they burn at low temperatures,
compact fluorescents are a cooler and safer
alternative to many traditional halogens.
Compact fluorescents use only one quarter
of the energy to produce the same amount
of light.

Find
out why the right bulb can make all the difference
Each compact fluorescent used to replace an incandescent saves
the energy equivalent of about 46 gallons of oil or a ton of
carbon dioxide emissions over the life of the bulb and because
they last nine times longer it means fewer incandescent bulbs
in our landfills. Advanced Energy prides itself on its ability
to understand the complex issues facing today’s energy
consumer. However, sometimes the solution to the problem is
as simple as changing a light bulb. |
