Substantial Savings in Lighting

Bulb prices seem high. I think we will stick with CFL.

100,000 hrs. = 11.4 years.

The longevity of the bulbs is only one small factor. The fact that they replace a unit that draws twice the energy usage, and save huge on maintenence costs is where the majority of the savings comes from. As far as cfl's are concerned, your average cfl is $4.00, rated at 8,000, typically lasts 3,000 hours. the induction replacement for the cfl costs $25, rated at 60,000 hours, bulbs still in the test rack long after 60,000, warranted for 5 years. that is where you factor in the cost of the maintenence man changing a cfl aprx 20 times over the life of an induction plus the cost of the bulb, then the savings become aparent, and possibly huge. I have counted some of the outside bulbs on the condos around where i live, and some of them are over 1,000. avg maintenence man at $10.00 an hour X what it takes to change 1,000 bulbs, all on different floors = huge savings. The parking garage lights are an even bigger savings. replace the average metal halide, or sodium vapor bulb with an induction fixture, instantly your utility cost for that fixture just dropped by normally 50%. those bulbs or rated at 100,000 hours and are warranted for ten years. aside from the monthly saving on the utility bill, factor in the maintenence savings again, and the difference is huge. the savings is not the only factor with these bulbs. the light output, and quality is far beyond other light sources. we have replaced bulbs on a condo in alabama that had two cfl's per fixture with one induction bulb, and the residents remarked on the quality and brightness of the light. in that application one replaced two. now they are saving even more. now they are only burning 23 watts instead of 46, and they don't pay maintenence fees every 3,000 hours x 2. sure there is an upfront cost, as there is with anything. this is one upfront cost you will actually start seeing payed back in your next electric bill, and at the end of year maintenence cost.
I am more than willing to answer any questions. also, i am not a salesman at heart, I have this job because I know and beleive in my product, and it has proven itself to me to be a substantial savings, not only in the wallet, but in the green aspect. Also my brother and I both are energy conservation minded. He works for an all electric car company.

Thanks
