Indoor Lighting Options

Discover the right type of lighting for your business.

Incandescent

Less energy efficient than other light sources, incandescent bulbs are best used for task lighting that demands high levels of brightness.

LEDs

Feature many advantages over incandescent light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size and faster switching.

Fluorescent – T5T8/T12

Use 20% – 33% of the electricity of incandescent lights and last up to 20 times longer. Best used for recessed down lights, wall sconces, close-to-ceiling fixtures and track lights.

CFLs

Fit most fixtures designed for incandescent bulbs and use about 75% less energy. Most cost-effective and efficient in areas where lights are on for long periods of time.

HIDs

Extremely energy efficient and long-lasting, these bulbs do not produce pleasing colors. So, they are most often used for outdoor security and area lighting.

Lighting Control System

This “smart” system controls individual lights or groups of lights with a single interface, with the ability to make automatic adjustments based on time of day, occupancy of the facility and other features.
