Why Is Lighting Maintenance Important?
Proper lighting system maintenance is essential in order to maintain high quality, efficient lighting. C M Lighting can help manage and service your lighting systems to ensure continued high performance of any lighting system.
Lighting maintenance is more than simply replacing lamps and ballasts when they are no longer working. If you manage a facility, you know how important it is to manage your lighting resources (fixtures, lamp/ballast inventory, labour and energy) to sustain the quality of a lighting system.
The light output of a luminaire (any lamp) decreases with age and use, commonly reducing light output by 20-60%. No corresponding energy reduction is associated with light loss – the only thing you’ll notice is lamp and ballast failure. Because the human eye is extremely adaptive to gradually changing lighting conditions, most occupants do not even notice the gradual decline in light levels. Eventually, however, the reduction in light will affect the appearance of the space and the productivity and safety of the tenants or employees. C M Lighting will assess the appropriate maintenance schedule for your facility to ensure lighting quality and safety.
