Parker Lighting, Inc. Saving Energy, Money And Maintenance Costs At El Segundo High School

October 31, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Education News
Inglewood, CA (October 31, 2012). Parker Lighting, Inc., a 47 year old lighting company in Inglewood, CA, is currently retrofitting all of the lamps at El Segundo High School in California. This eco-friendly, high tech retrofit will save the school district significant energy, money, and maintenance costs. All of our retrofit induction lamps and ballasts are listed on our other website: www.ecoinductionlighting.com.

Parker Lighting, Inc. started retrofitting the high bay fixtures in the boy's and girl's gym during the 2012 school year, with possibly continuing this project into 2013. The school employees were impressed with a 30% increase in light levels, the instant-on feature of the lamps, a 50% decrease in energy usage, increased longevity of the lamps and ballasts, 100,000 hours, and a reduction in overall, long-term maintenance costs. The school kept their existing fixtures, thus saving additional money and labor costs. We sell more shapes, sizes, and wattages than our competitors. Thus, our customers can install our retrofit induction lamps in more of their existing fixtures.

Further benefits of this green technology includes more consistent light output and coloration, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lowers carbon footprints, and compliance with LEED certification, which ensures these buildings are utilizing the most current and energy efficient technology. Southern California Edison also provides rebates for this and future projects. These rebates reduce out-of-pocket costs for school districts while ensuring a rapid break-even point, roughly 18 months, and an annual ROI of roughly 100%. These lamps and ballasts come with either a three or five year warranty. Traditional lighting offers no warranties. Because of the preceding benefits and cost savings, we are currently changing all lamps in El Segundo High School's halls, courtyard, parking lots, and in-ground lighting.

We sell more shapes, sizes and wattages than our competitors, thus customers can install our retrofit induction lamps in more of their existing fixtures.
