body repair and training facility had (31) 400/MH Lo-Bay
fxtrs rated at 455 watts each providing, at best, 22 footcandles

Final installation shows greater footcandles at 28fc, better distribution at
half the energy needs, (232 watts).
These high-lumen, 6 lamp linear fluorescent instruments provides improved distribution,
instant-on capabilities and the power company paid $75 each in rebates!
Much improved uniformity and light levels after the upgrade, which only took
2 days to complete. |
