Lighting Technologies
Fluorescent Systems The leading commercial lighting with good efficiency, low brightness, long life, and a range of sizes and colors.
Incandescent Systems The least efficient system but simple to install and use, with low initial cost, instant starts, warm color with great color rendition, and a small size.
High Intensity Discharge Systems A family of systems (high and low pressure sodium, metal halide, and mercury vapor) that provide efficiency and long life. Excellent for outdoor use but also work in many indoor settings.
High Pressure Sodium Systems A highly efficient system with golden white light that produces reasonable color rendition.
Low Pressure Sodium Systems A system with the highest available efficiency and fast restarts, for use where color rendition is unimportant.
Metal Halide Systems A highly efficient system with bright white light that provides excellent color rendition.
Mercury Vapor Systems An older system type used as an outdoor alternative to fluorescents. Learn about money-saving substitutes.
Occupancy Sensors Save money by automatically ensuring that lights are off in unoccupied areas.
