Retrofit your old lighting system to save energy and improve lighting quality

New technologies in incandescent and fluorescent lamp manufacturing are being implemented throughout North America to reduce energy consumption and improve lighting quality, at costs comparable to standard technologies.

Halogen lamps In accent lighting applications, replace incandescent lamps with line voltage (PAR type) or low voltage (MR16 type) halogen lamps. They last longer, consume less energy and add more light reflection with greater sharpness.

T8 fluorescent lamps Replace your existing T12 fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts with T8 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts. They reduce up to 40% of the energy costs, lower maintenance costs, increase the system's life, and improve the quality of light.

Use high-pressure sodium or metal halide lamps for exterior lighting Replace outdoor incandescent or mercury vapour lamps with high-pressure sodium or metal halide lamps. This can save up to 74% of energy use, while providing similar light output..

Use LEDs (light emitting diodes) for exit signs LEDs are currently used for indicator lights and numeric displays on electronic devices. They are also becoming the standard for illuminating Exit signs.

Use compact fluorescent lamps Replace incandescent lamps in exit signs, pot lights and general lighting fixtures with compact fluorescent lamps. These lamps use 72% less energy while lasting 10 times longer, considerably reducing maintenance costs.

Lighting problems

Modern electrical equipment increasinly draws power as a non-linear load causing harmonic frequencies in electrical equipment. BCD electric can analyze your system for harmfull harmonic frequencies, and eliminate problems.
