Energy Efficient Lighting
Did you know that lighting costs will contribute on average around 44% of the annual electricity use in a traditional office building or around 20% of the average home energy bill?
Save energy and lamps by dimming lights. By automatically dimming lights to less than 100% you can help conserve energy, dramatically increase lamp life and make a difference to the environment and energy costs.
The human eye cannot distinguish the difference between lighting at 100% and 90% lumens, and yet when using the right product, automatically reducing your light level to 90% capacity can result in a 10% reduction in electricity.
Simply dimming your lights by 25% can result in a 20% saving in energy costs whilst if you introduce other lighting controls alongside the fine tuning of lighting level, to include occupancy sensing, personal controls and daylight harvesting it is possible to reduce energy consumption on lighting by up to 60%.
The financial payback period of introducing lighting control systems depends on many variables but with long-term energy costs set to rise and environmental targets and regulation set to increase, the one given certainty is that lighting control systems are indeed a low-risk, cost effective route to efficient energy use.
