Did you know that lighting can account for 40% of energy use in commercial buildings. Reducing this figure is easy by using energy-efficient lamps and fixtures. A very common "problem" are T12 fluorescents, which can be replaced by T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, resulting in a savings of 70% in some cases.
Another product is compact fluorescents, they use 70-85% less energy to produce the same amount of light as a comparable incandescent. Fluorescents last much longer than incandescent lamps, which means less time changing bulbs. This will result in a 676% savings in energy costs when a bulb lasts 10,000 hours.
Considering that these products save time and money at a residence, imagine the savings in a large commercial building or warehouse!
