An environmentally conscious car dealership seems a contradiction in terms. In the lighting industry, car dealerships are often targeted by conservationists and dark-skies advocates. With new advancements in LED Lighting Auto Dealerships can now work sustainably, and in compliance while increasing their brand recognition, and attract more customers at a much lower cost than ever before!

Car Dealerships Drive Toward Energy Efficient Lighting

There have been many car dealerships across the country whom have chosen to become more energy efficient with LED lighting. Unfortunately many of these LED options offered in the market place are not quite the same as Metal Halide. These LED fixtures offer great energy savings, but often leave dealerships disappointed with lower light levels in exchange for energy efficiency. Synergy Lighting, a leader in LED Lighting has solved this problem and exceeds all Dealer expectations with the introduction of our 240w LED Parking Lot Lighting Fixture. This extremely efficient LED fixture replaces 1000w Metal Halides traditionally used in the auto industry with true perfection!

The 240 Watt LED Lighting Fixture employs the latest in high lumen efficiency and advanced thermal management to effectively replace 1000W Metal Halide Fixtures at a savings of 80%. This savings reduces the monthly operating expenses drastically as well as “Demand Charges” often imposed on properties using high wattage parking lot lighting fixtures.

The slim design of our LED Fixture virtually disappears in the field of view drawing potential customs view to the “High Definition Look” of the automobiles being displayed.

“Synergy Lighting’s LED Fixtures delivered everything they promised and more!”

True High Definition Lighting

Synergy Lighting’s 240W LED Lighting Fixtures offer true 5000K Natural Bright White Light. This is the only LED Parking Lot Lighting Fixture on the market that offers true white light without tones of blue and purple shades that dull new cars. We use only the brightest, most efficient, and most reliable LED’s on the market. Our 240W LED Lighting fixture comes complete with a 5 Year Warranty!

Creating Economically Sustainable Operations

Converting to LED lighting creates an energy savings of approximately 80%. This large percentage of savings drastically reduces the operating expense of an Auto Dealership. Furthering this savings is the elimination of costly lighting maintenance associated with dealerships. This means no more expensive bulbs, ballasts, and bucket trucks required to maintain parking lot lighting.

Fast Return On Investment

With growing utility rates and demand charges, the energy savings from the LED lighting results in an average payback or “Return On Investment” within 36 months from time of purchase. However with the new initiative from Energy Star, Dealerships upgrading to LED Lighting may qualify for an accelerated Bonus Tax Depreciation of 50% of the cost of the LED lighting system year one, reducing the ROI to less than 18 months.

With the economical crunch over the past few years and the ever growing popularity of going green, converting hid to CFL has become a growing trend. By simply by passing the HID ballast and screwing in a Compact Fluorescent Lamp, business have discovered that the S/P Ratio (Scotopic to Photopic Lumens) is great enough to be a viable option, providing adequate light.

Drawbacks of Retrofitting HID To CFL

As great of an option as this procedure is, many customers have found that the line voltage supplied to their HID fixtures is greater than 120 Volts, typically 208, 240 or 277 volt. In these cases, customer find themselves either not being able to find a CFL bulb in those voltages, with the exception of the TCP 277V spiral, or that the fixtures are too small to fit an equal wattage CFL bulb. For customers with 208, 240 volt system, the only option has been to pay large expenditures in order to convert electric panels, and rewire to accommodate lower voltages.

Litetronics New High Wattage CFL System Makes Retrofitting Affordable

Litetronics, a leading producer of innovative CFL products has introduced its full line of HID to CFL retrofit kits. These kits include a non-ballasted CFL high wattage lamp for easy screw in the socket installation with a remote multi-volt ballast capable of 120, 208, 240 or 277 Volt systems. Because these new CFL lamps are non-ballasted, the have a much smaller MOL (Maximum Overall Length), and can fit into virtually any HID fixture from wall packs, parking lot lights, high bays and parking garage canopy lights.

Benefits Include:

• 10,000-hour life
• 85 CRI, 5000k natural white
• 65 Up to 150 watts
• Excellent lumen maintenance
• Advanced Amalgam maintains optimal lumens
• Instant start and instant restrike
• Reduced color shift compared to metal halide
• External ballast reduces lamp replacement costs

Litetronics high watt compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s) are designed to replace HID lamps in high bay applications for energy savings and higher ROI. They off er high 85 CRI for excellent color rendition, and they promise reliable operation with instant start and instant re-strike. Unlike HID lamps, Litetronics high watt CFLs have no color shift over time, and they have lower glare and higher lumen maintenance. With a lower system cost than HID, Litetronics high watt CFL’s are the best solution for high and low bay lighting.

Litetronics high watt CFL’s utilize an external ballast, which offers better heat management than self-ballasted high wattage CFL’s. When the lamp and ballast are together in a self-ballasted lamp, heat builds up in a condensed area, which leads to premature failures. Separating the lamp and ballast allows for better heat management, which translates into maximum life and lumen maintenance. The external ballast also reduces lamp replacement costs compared to self-ballasted CFLs because you only need to replace the lamp at end of life instead of the lamp and ballast. This means that Litetronics high watt CFL’s are more cost-effective and provide higher ROI than alternative high bay CFL lighting. Litetronics high watt CFL’s also have a smaller MOL than competing lamps, which provides better optics out of the fixture. For superior high bay lighting, Litetronics high watt CFL’s are the fi rst choice.

With significant changes in our country’s global economic and environmental climate, every day customers ask us about going green with LED Light bulbs. Synergy Lighting offers over 300 of these newly popular, environmentally friendly, Solid State Lighting Products which achieve phenomenal energy savings and feature CREE Brand LED’s. Of particular interest is the myriad of associated questions commonly asked of us by consumers.

• Do the LED Light Bulbs really last a long time?
• How much do they cost?
• Do LED Light Bulbs put off as much light as a standard light bulb?
• How long before the price comes down?

At one point in time, though we highly encourage the use of LED Light Bulbs, the resulting answers were all positive until that moment in time when you have to disclose to a customer how much the LED bulbs would really cost. Many LED distributors will do anything but answer that all consuming bottom line question, “How much do they cost?”  One can only imagine the words we hear from a customer when the price comes out. Customers must come to understand that the Price of the Bulb and the cost of operation are two different things. The price of the lamp, or the purchase price rather is usually insignificant compared to the operating cost of electricity, replacement and labor. In the following comparison, we will compare a 60 Watt Incandescent to an 8 Watt LED to show the true “Life Cycle Cost.”

Total Energy Savings Achieved: $349.27

As clearly demonstrated with the above chart, an energy savings of $349.27 per bulb can result in thousands of dollars saved by reducing energy waste for a business with multiple lamps. When one looks at the initial price of an LED light bulb, this must be considered the investment value, and the energy and labor, replacement cost savings is the return on investment (ROI). The ROI is 498% and a 87% total reduction of energy waste.

Due to soaring energy costs many companies are aggressively exploring ways to reduce their energy consumption and improve efficiencies. Replacing or retrofitting obsolete lighting systems can often provide significant savings and many local utilities are offering rebates to customers that upgrade their lighting with new, more energy efficient products.
