Pump It Up - The Inflatable Party Zone, Lakeland Florida

This, Pump It Up, is a new franchise location with a build out that had to meet specific lumen requirements as per the corporate guidelines.

The original plans developed to meet these lighting minimums called for 138 (2-lamp T8) fixtures in the 2 main activity arenas.  In the non-arena areas the plans called for 57 (4-lamp T8) lay-in fixtures.  The owners were concerned about energy consumption and the maintenance cost required on so many fixtures, especially with a 19′ ceiling height.  Empire Lighting Resources was called in to re-evaluate the lighting plan.

We determined that the 2 arenas could be effectively lit with 42 (4-lamp) hi-bay reflector fixtures using Viz-A-Lite High Vision fluorescent lamps. This accomplished two areas of savings; first, the originally proposed energy consumption was reduced by 40% and secondly, the cost of the build out, including installation labor and materials was reduced by thousands of dollars.

In the non-arena areas we used 54 lay-in fixtures using 2-F40T12 Viz-A-Lite High Vision fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.  These changes reduced their energy consumption from 128 watts to 81 watts per fixture without a loss in lumens.  Empire Lighting Resources reduced the originally planned 195 fixtures to 96 while meeting or exceeding the corporate office’s lighting requirements.

This new, Pump It Up, location will save approximately $18,000 over the next 3 years in energy and standard lamp replacement costs.
