Actions National Sign & Lighting offers a variety of exterior and interior lighting service solutions. Many lighting systems inevitably deteriorate with time. As lamps burn out, they produce less light. After reaching half their life expectancy, the overall light output is drastically reduced. Dirt and dust collects on light fixture which also reduces the lumens produced by the fixtures. Owners are spending a lot of money to operate lamps and ballasts, while only a fraction of the light is going where it's needed most.
Action provides numerous solutions to cost effectively manage lighting. Energy impact evaluations, return on investment analysis, energy efficient lighting upgrades and retrofits, group relampling, LED lighting, occupancy sensors, timers and controls, and on call lighting maintenance.
Lighting Upgrades and Retrofits:
There are a few simple principles that produce truly effective results time
and time again. First, you must eagerly embrace new technology and determine
what options are best for your facility. From T-8 to T-5 retrofits, to double
to single fluorescent lamp conversions that provide more lumens, and even
to the new LED technology. Quality lighting will deliver the most lumens for
the least cost.
Group Relamping:
Group relamping is the best choice if you consider the labor savings, lack
of interruption costs, bulk purchase opportunities, improved color uniformity,
fixture cleaning, improved light levels, and reduction or overall maintenance
time. Group relamping consists of replacing all the lamps in a building or
parking lot at the same time. Lamps that are near the end of life contribute
to the loss of effective lighting. Generally speaking group relamping should
be scheduled at the 70% rated lamp life.
LED Lighting:
There are numerous opportunities for exterior and interior LED lighting. Particularly
in high bay, parking lot lighting, and wall pack lighting for new or retrofit
applications. For example: a 400W HID light with a ballast uses 465 watts,
that light can be converted to LED and with the same lumens use only 95 watts
and provide 300,000 hours. A specific case in point is a municipality in the
Ellwood City, Allegeny County, Pennsylvania converted their street lighting
to LED lighting, resulting in a ultility expense that dropped from $86,000
per month to only $8,000 per month. Action is leading the way in LED yechnology.
Occupancy Sensors, Timers and
Controls:
As federal and state regulations, occupancy sensors, timers, and controls
will continue to grow. The objective is to save energy by turning off lights
in unoccupied spaces.
Lighting Maintenance Programs
and the Best Solutions:
Group relamp programs with follow-up and periodic site inspections provide
the most cost effective maintenance solution. Group relamping is less expensive
than on call services, less interruptive to the store, provides bulk purchase
opportunities, and maintains maximum lighting. A follow-up outage inspection
should be done 1 year after the relamp and every six months thereafter until
the next scheduled relamp.
