Becasue lighting represents roughly 25% to 40% of total Industrial and Commercial building energy consumption, lighting retrofits are the most common, simple and cost effective means to find efficiency gains. When you combine a 50% reduction in energy consumption with the current rebate programs available, retrofitting inefficient fixtures with HIF - T8 and T5 Technology typically gives and ROI of less than one year. More companies should be looking seriously at implementing similar projects. Unquestionably the most common and widely used energy reduction strategy available today.

I am surprised that most building owners are not doing the same with all of the rebates that are available that are making these retrofits even more affordable. There are retrofit kits out already on the market that will allow you to take your old T12 and T8 fixtures and convert them to use T5 bulbs. This is a great and easy way to become more energy efficient and you can find a sample of these kits at www.lumiversal.com. I would highly recommend looking into becoming more energy efficient because of all the money and energy that you can save.

The real savings technology is about to unleash which will change the way we see things in lighting very soon... These energy savings will be dwarfed by lighting solutions about to be released.
