Can a company do lighting control by reducing energy usage to lighting, and not affect customers?

Yes, lighting is essential for any retailer or company who wants to ensure their products look good to their customers. However, there is an interesting fact about how we perceive light. The marketing team for a company sometimes feel “the brighter, the better.” Yet customers sometimes complain that a store is too bright or that there is too much glare. So the question is what the optimum light level in a store is. Let’s look at what the experts say:

Examples: General department stores, large bookstores
Goals: Provide pleasing, comfortable environment, stay longer to make product decisions, provide a place where people would want to shop, not just find and buy; it is often desirable to have display areas for key merchandise
Recommended Light Level
Circulation areas: 20 fc
Merchandise: 75 fc

So, if 75 foot candles are the average lighting for merchandise, then it gives retailers and companies the option to reduce energy costs, by reducing the brightness of their lights.

EG Energy Controls has a <a href="http://www.egenergy.com/lighting.htm">lighting controller</a> called VoltMiser. This system works with HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps and can reduce energy usage in 3 levels, 15%, 20% and 25%

This amazing lighting controller has lamp and ballast approvals and has been installed in hundreds of locations.

By doing lights controller a company can reduce energy costs by 25% and reduce the depletion of natural resources, since it will use less energy. The company can even have a sticker on their front door informing their clients that they are reducing energy usage on their lights to reduce their carbon footprint.

Being green doesn’t mean you have to lose the green in your pocket.
