A lighting retrofit is the practice of replacing components in the system with counterparts that make more energy efficient. A lighting upgrade is any strategy that reduces the system’s energy use. Energy savings are realized over time and can be significant enough to not only pay for new equipment, but produce a return on investment.
To reduce energy consumption, we can either reduce the wattage or reduce the hours of operation. Input wattage can be reduced by replacing lamps and ballasts with more energy-efficient counterparts or outright removal of lamps and ballasts. The hours of operation can be reduced during sophisticated controls and other methods.
Voltage Electric has partnered with several lighting manufacturers to offer the most cost-effective, efficient technology available in today’s market.
