Are you thinking about going Green?
Energy efficiency is the ability to use less energy to produce the same amount of light output,
with the same quality and performance. Technological advances in the past decade have improved the energy efficiency of
lamps and ballasts by 30%-60%, resulting in lower utility bills and reduced environmental impacts.
