GLOWING GREEN - LIGHTING TO REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT AND SAVE MONEY

As companies strive to save money and reduce their environmental footprint, one of the items overlooked is found right above their head; lighting. Although it appears harmless, lighting causes pollution. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, power plants burning fossil fuels produce air pollutants: carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide. Therefore, the amount of electricity used to light a building has a significant impact on the environment.

MIROR Lighting, Inc specializes in energy saving, eco-friendly, and cost saving lighting solutions. Changing existing lighting systems from T12 fluorescents, or high intensity discharge (HID) light fixtures, to either T5 or T8 fluorescent systems will result in a reduction in the use of electricity while still producing light quality to the floor that is equal to or exceeds current levels. The reduction in the use of electricity will lower the company's environmental footprint and produce a lower utility cost.

After

Consider this. If you have 1 HID fixture (400 watt) running 24/7, you pay 8 cents per kwh, that fixture costs $162.00 to operate annually. If that fixture was replaced with a MIROR T5 fixture, the annual cost is reduced to $81.00. The 50% reduction in annual cost is a realistic expectation of potential savings. In addition, through the use of dimming ballasts, or passive infrared control systems, the savings can be even more dramatic.

MIROR Lighting also offers energy and cost saving solutions for office, parking lot and perimeter lighting, through a combined use of fluorescent and LED products. All of their products are Energy Star rated.
