Well lighted and safe parking garages are an important part of daily life. In addition to our government mandating a minimal performance for lighting fixtures/bulbs, Bay Lighting offers multiple solutions to help you save on your electric bill and long-term maintenance costs. Here’s a typical example:

  • EXISTING CONDITION: 100w, 150w, and 175w metal halide, requires daily maintenance to keep in working order, provides poor lighting and leaves garages with dark areas, energy hungry, $238/yr to operate

The rapid evolution of lighting technology, coupled with environmental and energy regulations, has created a challenge for property owners and managers. Fluorescent dimming ballasts, once a staple for commercial lighting systems, are becoming increasingly difficult to find. As manufacturers discontinue production and new energy laws restrict fluorescent lighting, commercial spaces are left scrambling for solutions to maintain functionality without breaking the bank. CFLEX is the ultimate retrofit solution, offering a simple, cost-effective way to upgrade systems while preserving compatibility with existing controls and fixtures.
