Canadian Retailer - Winter 2013 - 37

SUMMARY OF SAVINGS FROM ELECTRICITY AND LAMP MAINTENANCE

TOTAL ANNUAL SAVINGS: $185,444.08
*based on a mature maintenance cycle as described above

consistent throughout a bulb’s lifespan, maintaining uniform colour
as they get older even as other lights
fade and change as they age.
• Reduced Maintenance: While most
lamps experience depreciation in
light output as they age, T5 lamps
have very little depreciation over
their lifespan. Long lasting and requiring little maintenance, they are
very cost effective.
• Better Colour Rendition: A light
with high quality colour rendition
is able to reproduce colours that are
identical to what they are in natural
light. When lighting is needed for
labour-intensive work areas, these
lamps offer the perfect solution.
Many regular lights have low CRI
and they cause straining of the eyes,
which can lead to visual problems.
• Instant Light: While some lights
take time before they turn on and
achieve maximum brightness,
fluorescent lamps turn on instantly.
This means that the T5 lamps can
be used alongside sensors and other
control systems, which enhance efficiency. The controls can allow the
users to choose different lighting
options like dimming. All these factors help to enhance efficiency and
reduce the operating costs.

Indeed, the fact the new lamps would
turn on and reach full luminescence
immediately has allowed The Brick to
install motion sensors in their warehouses and loading docks. “The motion sensors automatically turn off the
lights if no activity is detected within
20 minutes. During the day, with the
constant activity in shipping/receiving, these lights tend to remain on but
at night they go off automatically. This
greatly reduces energy consumption
and results in definite savings in our
profit and loss,” says Sousa.
T5 fluorescent lamps are perfect
for those who are environmentally
conscious. The eco-light is designed
with the “green” benefit in mind. The
lamps help to protect the environment and the users. With high-energy
savings and a long life span, the lights
take a long time before replacement
is needed. This means that they produce less waste as compared to other
types of bulbs. They also produce less
carbon dioxide, which is beneficial for
the health of the users.
