Why Recycle?

Fluorescent lamps provide significant savings for commercial properties. They are four to five times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent lamps also last longer than incandescent or halogen lamps, and require less frequent replacement.

However, energy efficient lighting products, such as fluorescent lamps, CFLs, and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, contain small amounts of mercury. The improper disposal of large numbers of lamps creates mercury pollution in the environment.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has special regulations for mercury-containing lamps. Our service eliminates paperwork, alleviates transport issues, and helps keep disposal costs low. We make lamp recycling easy.

Designing Lighting Systems That Can Adapt to Future Space Reconfigurations

Commercial buildings rarely remain exactly as they were originally designed. Offices add and remove walls. Tenants move in and out. Workstations shift. Warehouses change racking configurations. Classrooms take on new functions. Multifamily amenity spaces are renovated to meet changing resident expectations. The lighting system, however, is often designed as though the original floor plan will remain permanent. When fixtures, sensors, and lighting controls are tied too closely to one specific layout, even a relatively straightforward renovation can create additional work. Fixtures may no longer be positioned appropriately, controls may not correspond with the new rooms, and electrical components may need to be relocated or replaced.

Understanding DLC Listings: What Actually Matters?

Anyone comparing commercial LED lighting products will quickly encounter the term "DLC Listed." It may appear on a manufacturer's specification sheet, in a distributor's product description, or among the requirements for a commercial lighting rebate. For building owners and facility managers planning an LED lighting upgrade, seeing a product on the DLC Qualified Products List can provide useful information about its performance. But a DLC listing does not answer every question about a fixture.
