Environmental:
Performance:
- Cost effective – average of a 50% saving
- Reduced maintenance costs due to extended lifespan
- Low heat generation reduces air-conditioning costs in summer
- Improved productivity due to better light quality
- In-store products potentially appear more appealing due to improved colour rendition (potential to increase sales)
- 3 year warranty on lamps and ballasts
Environmental:
- Lamps use solid mercury Amalgam pellet (solid nickel/mercury alloy). 0.25 mg's of mercury, unlike conventional lighting that uses liquid or gaseous mercury. Average of 15 mg's per HID lamp. Much reduced risk of mercury contamination due to much lower quantities used, AND safer amalgam form.
- Less waste on lamp replacements
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Reduced coal burning for electricity generation
- Reduced ash from burnt coal
- Saves water
Performance:
- No flickering and no glare add up to less eye strain for workers, and thus better safety and productivity
- Better colour rendering improves worker safety, as warning signs are far more visible
- Better colour rendering means improved quality of produced goods, where colour is an important component of quality
- Reliable
- High luminous maintenance rate (95% after 20 000 hours and 85% after 60 000 hours)
