Actions for Lighting

Consider lower wattage lamps and ballasts

Incandescent lamps may be candidates for replacement with compact fluorescent lamps or metal halide

Older fluorescent lamps may be upgraded to newer ones.

Magnetic ballasts may be upgraded to electronic ballasts

Older metal halide lamps, especially probe start, may be upgraded to newer ones.

LEDs may be used in areas with very long burning times or in areas that are inconvenient to access

Lighting controls should include:

• Occupancy sensors

• Timers

• Keycard controls

• Twilight switches

• Daylight harvesting, and

• Building management systems
