Lighting Systems & Controls
Happy, safer, more productive employees! That’s the unexpected “bonus” of increasing your facility’s light levels and is what we are hearing from each new lighting retrofit customer. They like their reduced electric bill but they love having fewer safety issues and are thrilled over the increase in productivity.
It’s our contention that all facilities, regardless of type or size, will benefit considerably from upgrading existing lighting. As you begin considering lighting replacement or retrofits you will realize that there are many ways to implement a lighting improvement project. You will also realize that few suppliers offer the same solutions. Each suggests varying degrees of analysis and emphasis on energy efficiency.
At Branham Electric we believe the most successful way to improve your lighting is through value engineering. We take the time to chart your facility’s current light levels. We’ll discuss desired levels, control options and daylight harvesting. Once we fully understand your specific requirements we propose a system that meets your request at a fair price.
Be Wary of One Source Fixture Providers
At Branham Electric our lighting services offer more of a design/build approach to energy savings, rather than a simple one-to-one fixture replacement approach. When a company represents a single fixture manufacturer, chances are they’re working for their vendor and not for you. Their product knowledge will probably be limited to the product their vendor sells which may not meet your needs.
Lighting Audits
It is our belief that all facilities, regardless of size, will benefit from a lighting system upgrade and/or retrofit. We further feel that each facility will have a unique energy saving solution based not only on desired light levels, but physical layout, obstacles, and other operational considerations. Branham Electric’s FREE on-site lighting assessment reviews each of your building’s exact parameters and special requirements so that we confidently recommend your facility’s best energy saving solution available.
Often times these solutions mean relocating new fixtures to better light your present work stations. It has been our experience that existing light locations may have worked well years ago, but are no longer your best option. Thus one-to-one fixture replacements often do not provide a safer and more productive work place.
Value Engineering, Photometric Analysis
We model each area of your facility through photometric analysis to simulate light levels and develop the most efficient system possible. Our systems offer better lighting at fewer total watts. Generally these systems also utilize less lamps and ballasts. The combination of fewer watts and less lamps and ballasts translates into the greatest possible energy savings year-after-year with the lowest possible maintenance cost.
Comprehensive Report and Presentation of Findings
Combining the results of our site survey and photometric analysis give us the ability to provide an accurate presentation of both future light levels and annual energy savings. Our Comprehensive Report is founded on an analysis of utility charges, applicable rebates, and available tax incentives. Our report accounts for everything from foot-candle comparisons to a detailed breakdown of energy savings, utility rebates, and a guaranteed return on investment period.
