Cost to Customer: $3,217

Annual Savings: $1,600

Net 5-Year Savings: $8,000

Payback: 2 years

To date, the property has incrementally replaced 39 metal halide bulbs with LED for a 5-year energy savings of $31,200.
Gateway Center Drive is location to a cluster of flex space buildings in Clarksburg, Maryland. These buildings are home to warehouse and office space, with many visitors and employees on location daily.

The Opportunity

Property management company Buchanan Partners desired to save energy throughout the property’s outdoor pole lighting. Keeping within their predetermined budget was a priority. Gateway Drive’s existing pole lights were a mix of 400 Watt metal halide and 320 Watt pulse start metal halide bulbs.

Bay Lighting Solution

Bay Lighting worked on several proposal options, ranging from replacing fixtures to replacing bulbs, with subsequent pricing. Ultimately, Buchanan Partners opted to update lighting incrementally with bulb replacement. With budget and reliability top of mind, Bay Lighting recommended an LED 120 Watt shoe box lamp by Light Efficient Design. This ballast bypass project will save on energy and maintenance.

The Benefits

To date, 39 pole lights have been converted to LED, with each bulb resulting in $160 in energy savings per year. In addition, with the new longer lasting LED bulbs, management has eliminated the need to change bulbs every two years. In five years, the property will have saved $31,200 in energy on the 39 new pole lights.

    Emergency Lights – Should I Change the Battery or Change the Entire Fixture?

    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?
