Lighting Maintenance
November 30, 2008
All lighting systems experience a decrease in light output and efficiency over time—lamp light output decreases, dirt accumulates on fixtures, lamps burn out, and control systems drift out of spec or are overridden by occupants.

Occupancy Sensors
October 15, 2007
Occupancy sensors detect the presence or absence of people and turn lights on and off accordingly. Used properly, occupancy sensors can be a cost-effective tool for reducing the operating time and/or light output of lighting systems, cutting energy consumption and peak demand.

Ballasts for Full-Size Fluorescent Lamps
August 3, 2007
Ballasts convert line current into the proper voltage, amperage, and waveform to operate fluorescent lamps. The choice of ballast influences how efficiently a lighting system operates and how much light it provides, but users face an often bewildering array of options.
