A premier distributor and installer of commercial lighting products, Southern Lighting Company, Inc. places strong emphasis on improving energy efficiency. Reducing energy usage, lighting maintenance and material costs, coupled with improving lighting quality, are our primary focus areas. We strive each day to better understand our customers' needs and offer solutions that achieve or exceed their expectations.
The combination of a Ceramic Metal Halide lamp with an Electronic Ballast is cost efficient and simple retrofit of high wattage (up to 1000-watt MH or HPS) lamps with magnetic ballasts. The result is an energy-efficient solution that typically saves over 50% of energy consumption, while providing a higher quality of light.
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are becoming one of the most energy-efficient and energy-saving technologies available today. They provide significant energy savings while producing equivalent light output for many applications. LEDs' benefits include long life (10 years or more), cool operating temperatures, no mercury content so, combined with their lower energy consumption, LEDs provide an attractive alternative to other lighting products.
By using electromagnetic fields, induction lamps are able to produce more visible light than traditional lighting sources while reducing power consumption by up to 50%. Also, because there is no filaments or electrodes to burn out, induction lamps last about 5 times longer than High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide bulbs.
Light Emitting Plasma (LEP) is a small, high-intensity light source that is energy efficient and lasts over 50,000 hours. Its new technology and advanced optical design provide superior light performance. Consuming only 540 watts, LED offers 50% energy savings over traditional 1000-watt HPS or MH fixtures and creates uniform light distribution across large areas.
