Green Clean
One of the most easily applied tactics proposed for saving energy while using artificial lighting is for consumers to begin buying energy efficient lighting products such as Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) to replace energy hungry incandescent light bulbs. According to projections made by energy conservation groups, if every home in the US installed just four compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, we would save the same amount of electricity that.s produced by the six largest nuclear power plants in the world. Just one CFL bulb during the course of its long, energy-efficient life can save a consumer between $40-$50 in utility costs. That same CFL bulb will save 630 pounds of coal from being burned or 51 gallons of oil. It will also prevent 1072 pounds of CO-2, 7.8 pounds of acid rain and 4.1 pounds of smog from going into the atmosphere.

PureSpectrum’s solution

Electricity costs in the U.S. have historically been low, and energy costs have not factored heavily in the buying decisions for ballasts. However, that decision making process for lighting manufacturers is changing as a result of several influential factors.

Electric utilities are becoming increasingly active in promoting the purchase of higher efficiency ballasts, and, as a result, the consumer is gaining knowledge of the mechanics of higher efficiency ballasts. As the utilities continue sending the message and consumers learn more about energy costs that could be eliminated, demand for higher efficiency ballasts among consumers will increase as well. In order to remain competitive, manufacturers will be forced to put energy efficient lighting products on the shelves.

Energy service companies and retrofitters are seeing significant profit opportunities in replacing existing ballasts with higher efficiency ballasts. State and federal agencies are now mandating energy efficiency in new and existing lighting fixtures, forcing manufacturers to comply with higher energy efficiency standards. At the same, time manufacturers are searching for the performance differentiators which will propel their products off the shelves and into the shopping carts of consumers.

As a result of increased regulatory mandates and consumer demand, energy efficiency has become a driving force in the lighting industry. In order to accommodate this new climate, the lighting industry may be on the verge of a significant shift in production methodology. At this time, PureSpectrum Technology represents a cost effective, immediate solution for manufacturers to produce better performing fluorescent light bulbs for commercial and residential application.
