Why Choose a retrofit, or replacement lamp? A unique feature of the Clearlight is that it can be used as a retrofit. A retrofit is the quickest path to energy savings. No new luminaire fixture is required. Installation cost is minimal when compared to the cost of installing a new fixture. Energy Savings begins the moment you screw the Clearlight into the fixture. However, unless you bypass the ballast, the ballast continues to run and draw energy on its own. While each manufactures' dusk-till-dawn fixture many seem different, the wiring is essentially the same. Bypass the ballast for maximum efficiency. The Energy Policy Act of 2005, called for the elimination of manufacturing, marketing, and importation of Mercury Vapor (MV) ballasts in the United States. While this legislation was passed in 2005, its effective date was January 1, 2008. Mercury Vapor fixtures remain part of the rural and urban lighting landscape. These fixtures can continue to serve - when the legacy MV technology (ballast & bulb) is replaced with a Clearlight. |
