Fixtures

Specifying an energy-efficient lighting technology, such as T8 or T5 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts, is a critical step to improving the energy efficiency of your facility and saving money. However, lighting is a system and depends on the quality of the fixture (the apparatus that contain the lamp), combined with the lamp, ballast and placement (the position of fixtures in a room, which affects the amount of usable light that is supplied).
Fixtures come in a wide variety of applications. Fixture selection may be guided by:

• Efficient technology
  
• Ceiling height
  
• Spacing
  
• Amount of glare
  
•  Distribution of light
  
• Task plane height
  
• Desired light level
  
• Appearance
  

For the best energy efficiency and light quality consult a lighting professional or designer when selecting fixtures.
