Stone Medical Group, of Boca Raton, Florida was looking for a way decrease operational costs while increasing employee productivity. Empire Lighting Resources® proposed a combination of replacing the existing inefficient 458 watt metal halide fixtures in their warehouse with our energy-efficient 222 watt open high bay fixtures, retro-fitting the 64 watt U-bend fixtures to 30 watts and de-lamping the four lamp T8 fixtures to two lamp. Empire Lighting Resources® Viz-A-Lite® high vision lamps were used in all fixtures.

As a result, the lighting levels in the warehouse increased from an average of 2-3 foot candles to over 20. In the offices and common areas, foot candles increase over 30%. Overall, lighting savings were over 50%, saving Stone Medical an estimated $500.00 per month. Stone Medial Group was also able to take advantage of the U.S. Government EPACT program, which allows companies to write off a percentage of their energy-efficient projects in the same year. So, in addition to the energy savings, Stone will be able to write off almost 70% of the project cost.
