Earth Day 2023 – The Impact of One

2022 was a pivitol year for energy efficiency. Energy conservation efforts helped save property owners $680 billion, and $560 billion was invested in these efforts worldwide. Efforts to recycle light fixtures and reduce energy waste through lighting were and continue to be a critical part of this movement. In fact, according to the International Energy Agency, more than 50% of the global lighting market now uses LED technology. Bay Lighting is committed to continuing to advance these efforts by providing accessible, efficient light bulb recycling services in Maryland and beyond.

Parking lot lighting is critical for any commercial property. Adequate outdoor lighting can prevent accidents, injuries, and the occurrence of crime.
