With falling oil prices in Calgary, your business needs to save on any costs that it can. No matter what the economic trend is, your business needs to become more efficient, and one of the best places to start is with your energy bill. At Fluorescent Man Lighting in Calgary, we recommend using energy efficient fluorescent lamps and timers on your lighting system to save a little extra money, especially during the tough economic times.
Here’s the deal on the benefits of using compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) in place of regular halogen incandescent bulbs.
- CFLs use approximately 75% less energy
- CFLs last up to 10 times longer
- Offer the same illumination and brightness as regular bulbs
- CFLs play for themselves in energy savings in 9 months
CFLs do have mercury in them; however, with new Canadian regulations in effect, the levels have been reduced greatly and there are stores that will recycle your old compact fluorescent lamps.
Timers and sensors can drastically cut your energy bill, no matter the size of your business facility and or workplace. Areas in large facilities that are not frequented by employees, is an ideal place to install a sensor that activates any lights to be turned on. At Fluorescent Man Lighting, we also recommend timers for your lighting system. If your office empties out at 6pm, have a timer set to turn them off shortly thereafter.
