Inefficient Lighting Can Add to Big Utility Costs
Saving with lamps, as practice shows, is really possible. But you should not expect an immediate payback. At first, on the contrary, you will have to spend money on buying new devices if you have low-quality light. But you will buy lamps for a really long time. They will last for several years. To do this, you should replace all incandescent lamps with more economical LED lamps and, if possible, use electrical appliances with reduced consumption (usually they are marked A, A+ or A++).
KEEP YOUR FACILITY LIT EFFICIENTLY AND SAFELY
As scientists prove, human well-being depends, among other things, on the amount of light during the day. This is easy to see from spring to autumn, when the days are long, the sun shines in abundance, and life satisfaction increases. With the arrival of winter, everything changes. It is worth knowing that not only natural light has a significant impact on our well-being, but also the artificial lighting in which we are. Light stimulates the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness, and melatonin, which regulates sleep and wakefulness. In turn, a decrease in the amount of light causes fluctuations in the level of cortisol, the stress hormone that makes a person sleepy. These are not the only aspects that light affects. It also supports metabolism, helps maintain a healthy weight, and keeps the eyes in good condition.
What Are Ballasts?
Usually, this word means something completely unnecessary. But in electrical engineering, it has a different meaning. Ballast in the lamps is needed to limit any parameters and promote braking. And also, in order to maintain the burning process in fluorescent and halogen lamps.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULBS AND LIGHTING OPTION
To help save energy costs, ballasts can be used in commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures to limit the current drawn to the bulb, preventing overheating and premature burnout. Fluorescent lighting in a residential building does not face the same problems of use.
When choosing the best lighting for your business, you must first understand the options available:
INCANDESCENT
If your building is a bit older and uses older technology, this type of light bulb is less efficient than most other options. As a rule, such lighting is best used for specific tasks. You can choose from several different types of incandescent bulbs, such as common/standard, reflector, and xenon.
HALOGEN
This type of lighting provides twice the lighting efficiency of incandescent lamps, offering an extremely bright white light. Halogen lighting is widespread on the streets, especially in stadiums.
FLUORESCENT
This is the most common lighting for commercial premises. It is energy efficient and effective, providing task and general lighting for all areas. This lighting is available in both fluorescent and compact form.

WHY REPLACING BULBS AND BALLASTS MATTERS
Replacing old bulbs and ballasts is a matter of safety, aesthetics, and energy conservation. Waiting too long to replace bulbs can lead to overheating, explosions, wiring failure, poor visibility, high energy costs, and more.
