With the ever growing steps in energy conservation, many consumers find great savings in using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs known as CFL’s. The light bulbs create tremendous energy savings and produce less heat than their incandescent predecessors. However consumers must beware of the cautions associated with use of these lamps.

CFL’s are designed to replace incandescent lamps in most portable and non-portable fixtures, such as table lamps and wall mounted fixtures. The limitation of using these CFL bulbs is their use in outdoor applications and enclosed fixtures. CFL’s such as spiral lamps are permissible in enclosed fixtures, providing that they are specially designed for that application and limited to 42 Watts or less. CFL lamps greater than 42 watts are designed for use only indoors with open rated fixtures. Many manufacturers of these higher wattage CFL’s, such as TCP, Maxlite, and Sunlight Brands expressly denote that these high wattage CFL Lamps are not for use outdoors or enclosed fixtures due to risk of fire.

According to Ellis Yan, Chief Executive Officer of TCPI the nations largest producer of CFL lamps, “The high wattage CFL’s are designed with an integral cooling fan to reduce the heat levels produced from overheating the electronic components. Using these lamps in enclosed fixtures may pose a serious risk to consumers”.  Education is a passion for Ellis that extends into the company’s business philosophy.He has been instrumental in establishing consumer and school education programs to share the energy efficient and environmental benefits of using compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). He is also dedicated to health and wellness and has developed incentive programs encouraging employees to make decisions that are good for their health and the environment.

In 2008, the Office of National statistics reports there were 1033 fires caused from misuse of CFL light bulbs. Energy Star, a joint effort between the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, CFLs installed in enclosed fixtures designed for incandescent bulbs may overheat. This can pose serious risk of injury or fire, and significantly reduce both light output and lifetime.  Even under optimum conditions, light output from a CFL will decrease over its lifetime. To maintain existing light levels, select CFLs with rated lumen output (of bulb and ballast together) at least as high as the bulbs they replace. CFLs should have a power factor (PF) above 50% and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) above 80%. ENERGY STAR-qualified integral CFLs and most available modular CFLs meet these criteria.

Particularly for high-use fixtures, consider replacing an existing screw-based (“incandescent”) fixture with one designed exclusively for CFL use—i.e., a fixture with a hard-wired ballast that accommodates pin-based CFLs. (Residential CFL fixtures are also covered by an ENERGY STAR labeling program.

Synergy Lighting offers the latest in Non-LED illumination with its full line of Induction Light Fixtures for parking lot lighting, induction street lighting, security and area flood lighting.  This energy saving technology is fundamentally different that that of traditional High Intensity Discharge (HID) systems.  With no filaments or cathodes to burn out, these unique lamps and fixtures last up to 100,000 hours, making them virtually maintenance free!

Why use Induction over LED?

Induction lamps offer extremem lumen maintenance (95%) which means that for the life of the lamp, the light output of the energy saving fixtures burn bright white without going dim.   Additionally the induction lighting when used for street or parking lot lighting, increases night time visual accuity.  Compared to newer LED lighting fixtures which have a maximum life of 60,000 hours, the induction lamps burn 40,000 hours longer at half the price. Synergy Lighting’s induction retrofits carry a full 10 Year Warranty!

Benefits Include:

• 100,000 hour maintenance free operation
• 10 Year Warranty on complete retrofit systems
• 95% Lumen maintenance
• 50% or greater energy savings compared to HID
• Low mercury – environmentally friendly
• Wide variety of fixtures and usage
• 80% reduced labor costs
• Instant on/off & restrike
• Colors from 2700K to 6700K
• Great for Street and Parking Lot Lighting

Principal of Induction Lighting

Induction works by form of electromagnetic transformers consisting of ferrite rings with metal coils, create an electromagnetic field around a gas-filled glass tube, using a high frequency that is generated by an electronic  ballast. The discharge path, induced by the coils, forms a closed loop causing acceleration of free electrons, which collide with mercury atoms and excite the electrons. As the excited electrons from these atoms fall back from this higher energy state to a lower stable level, they emit ultraviolet radiation. The UV radiation created is converted to visible light as it passes through a phosphor coating on the surface of the tube. The shape of the induction lamp maximizes the efficiency of the fields that are generated.

How it Works

The ballast generates the high frequency current that drives the inductively coupled discharge. The ballast contains an integrated circuit (IC) chip, which controls the operating frequency and allows the electrodeless fluorescent lamp to work properly with a ballast power factor of up to .99 for lower power consumption. This control feature is especially beneficial where fluctuations in the power supply are more than 10% of rated voltage. The ballast also meets EMC requirements, and the circuit board is designed for dust, humidity, and corrosion resistance.

Synergy Lighting is a leader in LED Parking Lot and Street Lighting with more LED fixtures specified than any other lighting company in Southwest Florida. Synergy offers complete lighting system analysis for commercial clients, and utility companies converting existing lightng systems to LED or new LED installations.  By switching to LED Parking Lot Lighting a facility can reduce their electricity costs by as much as 70% while providing increased seeability, reduction of maintenance costs and natural bright white lighting.

Choosing the Right LED Fixture

Synergy Lighting specifies specifies and sells LED Parking Lot Lighting fixtures from over 30 manufacturers including Beacon, LSI, Ruud and many more. Our lines of LED parking lot lighting fixtures are available in modular designs with full cut off optics for dark sky compliancy, as well as forward throw optics for use in Shopping Centers and Roadway Lighting. In coastal and beachfront communities, Synergy is the exclusive distributor for Vapor-Proof LED Fixtures that withstand the harsh salt environment and will not allow salt air to penetrate and corode the delicate circuitry within the LED boards. These fixtures have extreme durability in all weather conditions and can withstand the grueling of summer heat with advanced thermal management.

Why Choose LED Parking Lot Lighting

The future of outdoor lighting is in LEDs. The many benefits of LED light in applications from outdoor architectural lighting to flashlights to emergency vehicle lighting are well established. The benefits of LED light in those applications also apply to outdoor lighting. The majority of our LED fixtures use CREE XLamp® LED’s, which maintain over 70% of their original luminous flux at 50,000 hours — long after conventional outdoor light sources have burned out.

HID-based light fixtures waste approximately 20 to 50 percent of the light generated due to the lack of directionality of the light source. LED-based fixtures overcome this handicap by making use of a directional point light source. Not only is the pure white LED light more pleasing to the human eye, it also increases the amount of image information captured on security cameras. Therefore, LED-based parking garage lights can both decrease the total costs of lighting a parking area and potentially increase safety levels for everyone who uses it.

LED’s Are Environmentally Friendly

Unlike many conventional lighting technologies, LEDs contain no mercury or heavy metals. Not only are LEDs better for the environment during their operational life, the disposal of LEDs will not further pollute our world’s landfills with hazardous waste.

Traditionally, fluorescent lighting has been used at fixture mounting heights of <15 ft., and HID lighting was preferred in spaces with higher mounting heights.   In spaces where color quality of the light is important, metal halide (MH) was generally the preferred light source.

In recent years, manufacturers have begun offering fluorescent fixtures designed to replace MH fixtures in low-bay and even high-bay applications. The fixtures house two, three, four, six or eight T8 or T5HO lamps to provide various levels of light output.  Fluorescent lighting offers many advantages over MH lighting in high/low-bay applications.

Benefits of Fluorescent High Bay Lighting

• Instant On/Off of the fixtures (No Warm Up Time)
• Increased visual acuity for performing detailed tasks
• Higher color correction values when using 800 series 87 CRI
• Reduction of shadowing in working areas
• Energy savings of up to 50%
• Reduced heat output of the lamp and ballasts
• 60% reduction in maintenance costs

To great reduce energy costs and prolong the life of the fluorescent fixtures, many companies chose to have chosen dimming ballasts or have occupancy sensors installed on these fixtures.  The use of occupancy sensor depends on the working environment.  If particular areas of an industrial facility or warehouse are seldom used, the energy saving potential is greater.   For areas where the space is occupied greater that 60% of the day, occupancy sensors would not be a solid choice.  

T8 Vs. T5HO:

Regarding fluorescent, the choice is T8 or T5HO. Lighting professionals may hear that T8 fixtures are better at fixture heights <20 ft., T5HO at >20 ft., and either T8 or T5HO at 18-25 ft. mounting heights. However, while T5HO may produce enormous light at lower mounting heights, both T8 and T5HO can be used in high- and low-bay applications.

Currently most Power Companies and select fixtures manufacturers offer great Rebates and Incentives to aid in the cost of retrofitting from HID to Fluorescent High Bays.    When comparing the energy savings, cost of maintenance and labor, the T8 & T5 Fluorescent high bays almost always come out to be a phenomenal savings with the most benefits!
