Lighting Applications 5 of 9
Hospitals and Nursing homes
Linear Fluorescent lamps are the most widely used in this market.
As much as 40% of the electrical load at a hospital is lighting: energy savings is a key concern of all hospital administrators.
Large hospitals and nursing homes look for ways to reduce costs in much the same way an industrial facility or University would. They can nearly always benefit from:
- Group Relamping for lower maintenance costs and improved light level
- Longer life XL and SXL lamps
- Energy saving T8 upgrades
- Look for Cov-R-Guard, HIR/XL and Reveal opportunities, especially in food service, laundry and low-ceiling areas, nursing homes.
Major Retrofit Opportunities:
- T12 on magnetic ballasts to F28T8 on ultraMAX ballasts
- T8 to T8WM (lamp change only)
- T8 to T8 SXL (Long life)
- Cov-R-Guard
