Energy Efficient Lighting Retrofitting & Group Relamping

For Businesses, rising utility and maintenance costs threaten to diminish the already shrinking profit margin. In fact, for every $100 dollars spent on lighting operating costs, the average business spends an alarmingly hefty $88 dollars for electricity, $8 dollars for maintenance labor, and $4 dollars for lighting materials.

At first glance, it would appear one's utility bill is fixed and cannot be controlled or modified. Since 1980, WIL-CAL has been successfully helping businesses gain control over lighting costs by integrating innovative lighting technology and management. You can take advantage of the most current technological advancements available for maximum energy savings and illumination. In addition, Retrofitting qualifies most customers for utility sponsored incentives, accelerating project payback and enhancing return on investment.

Retrofitting and Group Relamping are usually seen linked together. The main difference between the two is that Retrofitting includes both ballast replacement and relamping during the process. In those applications where the ballasts are already current, Group Relamping with watt-saving lamps is a viable alternative.

Replacing all lamps and/or ballasts at the same time has numerous benefits. Economies of scale favors low cost of labor, because personnel and equipment are staged only once. Group Relamping promises a predictable quality of light over a predetermined amount of time, with virtually no lamp maintenance. The inconvenience associated with untimely burnt out lamps becomes greatly minimized with Group Relamping. Lastly, because Group Relamping is generally performed after hours, occupants and business will not be disrupted.
