Empire Lighting Resources® recently completed an energy-efficient lighting upgrade at the Coral Springs Christian Academy’s gymnasium.

Coral Springs Christian was dealing with high energy costs and inefficient lighting levels. Empire Lighting Resources® designers came up with a new lighting layout for the gym. We removed 48 458 watt metal halide fixtures and replaced them with only 36 222 watt high-bay fixtures with enhanced Miro4 reflectors. The reduction of fixtures was made possible by using our Viz-A-Lite® high vision T8 lamps which are 70% brighter than standard T8 lamps.

The result of the upgrade gave the gymnasium 50% more foot candles, better visibility and a 64% reduction in energy. Additional savings were achieved due to reduced heat load. Metal halide fixtures operate at over 200 degrees, the new high bays, slightly above ambient temperature. All told, monthly savings are estimated to be almost $900.00 per month.

As a side note, the operations manager told us shortly after the completion of the upgrade that their teams, playing under the new lights, had won seven straight games. Sounds like a real home court advantage, on the court and in the accounting office!
