Continental Manufacturing was looking for ways to improve on their poor lighting while lowering their soaring energy costs. By using Viz-A-Lite High Vision fluorescent lamps, Empire Lighting Resources was able to reduce from 4 to 2 T8 lamps in each of the office ceiling fixtures. In the warehouse, they replaced 455 and 1080 watt metal halide fixtures with 192 and 256 watt hi-bay T8 fluorescent reflector fixtures and Viz-A-Lite High Vision fluorescent lamps. Although the warehouse was not air conditioned, the employees working conditions were greatly enhanced due to the reduction of heat discharged from the metal halides. Between the offices and the production/warehouse areas, Continental will save approximately $9,500 per year.

Highlands Christian Academy, with a student enrollment that ranges from 3-K through grade12, utilizes their gymnasium all day. Due to soaring energy and maintenance costs, Highlands looked for ways to reduce expenses. Empire Lighting Resources suggested replacing their 36 existing energy consuming 455 watt metal halide fixtures with 192 watt hi-bay T8 fluorescent reflector fixtures with Viz-A-Lite High Vision fluorescent lamps.

By replacing the fixtures, Highlands will save over $7,000 per year in energy costs derived from the combination of the energy-efficient fixtures and heat load reduction. Also, a result of the greatly enhanced brightness of the new lighting system, Highlands will need to only light one-half of the fixtures during daily use. This translates to additional savings of up to 80% of their current overall lighting costs.
