It's a big mistake to believe that a lighitning upgrade project is "not in the budget".  It's like saying you can't afford to save money.  Yet, every month when you pay your electric bill, you are giving your utility company money that could be paying for an energy saving lighting project.  Electrical Equipment Company provides lighting consultation and surveys at no cost to our customers.  Our Lighting Specialist has over 15 years in the turnkey lighting rerofit industry.  Use the money saved in energy usage to fund the cost of the upgrade.  If you any "Yes" to any of the questions below, your facility has the opportunity to save significant dollars with a lighting upgrade:

• Does your facility use 4' or 8' T12 lamp & ballast technology?
• Does your facility use metal halide & HPS lamp technology?
• Are the lighting systems operating more than 16 hours/day?
• Do you "spot" re-lamp your HID lighting as needed instead of budgeting for a scheduled "group" re-lamp?
• Are you replacing T12 magnetic with electronic ballasts?
