Convert your Parking Area to TLEDs and Begin Saving Today

How do you turn a $1,861 investment into a $25,845 savings in one year? Learn the results of one Bay Lighting customer when they converted a parking garage from fluorescent 4′ lamps to TLEDs.

What Are TLEDs?

TLEDs, or Tube Light Emitting Diodes, are energy-efficient and eco-friendly lighting alternatives to traditional fluorescent tubes. They are designed to be direct replacements for fluorescent tubes, and offer several benefits over their traditional counterparts. TLEDs use less energy and last longer than fluorescent tubes, which means they can save you money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, TLEDs are free of toxic materials, such as mercury, which makes them safer for both the environment and human health. They are also more durable and resistant to damage than fluorescent tubes, which can help to reduce replacement costs and maintenance time. Overall, TLEDs are a great option for individuals and businesses looking to reduce their energy costs and environmental impact while maintaining high-quality lighting.

JBG Smith Upgrades to LEDs

Transforming properties into places, JBG Smith, is a leading owner and developer of high-quality, mixed-use properties with a portfolio of approximately 19 million square feet of office, multifamily, and retail space. In the interest of capitalizing on timely rebates, JBG Smith contacted Bay Lighting to convert the 600+ parking garage space on Fishers Lane to LED lighting. The outcome included a:

  • Energy and financial savings
  • Decrease in lamp maintenance hours for staff
  • Quick turn around with no disruption to tennants
  • Brighter and safer space for everyone

Bay Lighting also managed recycling of old materials.

Featured Product: SATCO S29937 – LED T8

What we appreciated most, besides your excellent service and prices, was
the ease of installation and the quick return on investment due to the PEPCO
rebate. We also love the brightness and light consistency in our garage now. Also
since LEDs are not affected by temperature like flourescent we will have a much
brighter garage in the winter months. We estimate payback in 1 ½ months.

Alex, JBG Smith

Emergency lights typically have a battery back-up that will operate the light in the event the power goes out, regardless of if there’s a generator for back-up power. Exit signs can and should also have a battery, especially if the building doesn’t have generator. Often during fire department inspections, they check that your emergency lights are operational, both with and without power. Emergency lights must be kept properly maintained to meet all federal and state requirements, so when installing new ones or updating old ones, should you just change the battery or replace the entire fixture?

There are many building codes, electrical codes, and emergency standards outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), International Building Code (IBC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), state and local regulations, and others that provide lighting guidelines and requirements for commercial and similar properties. These include for interior lighting, exterior lighting, and emergency lighting.
