The benefits of retrofitting your lighting

Cut Your Energy Bills with a Lighting Retrofit

The most dramatic impact you can make to control your electric bill is reducing the amount of energy you use to light your commercial building and property. YESCO Portland can help you reduce your electrical consumption by retrofitting your existing, inefficient, and often environmentally harmful lighting fixtures with new LED fixtures in Portland. Considering that commercial lighting can account for 30-40% of your property’s electric bill, it’s easy to see why a lighting retrofit is a smart long-term investment.

Reduced Light Fixture Replacement and Maintenance Costs

YESCO provides retrofitting solutions using LED lights, which last longer, while also delivering energy cost savings in Portland. Your business will also realize savings on the amount you spend on replacing and disposing of worn-out lamps. We use LED products, rated to last up to 50,000 hours, that are compatible with both bypass and ballast controls, and do not contain environmentally damaging materials like mercury or lead. Retrofitting your existing light fixtures with long-performing LED bulbs can provide savings over existing inefficient fixtures while providing brighter, more intense coverage.

Lower Cooling Costs

A lighting retrofit can also impact the amount of energy you waste battling the heat thrown off by fixtures with traditional lamps and controls. Less than 10% of electrical power supplied to an incandescent bulb is converted to light. The rest is lost as heat. YESCO can retrofit your facility’s lighting with LED lamps that flip those numbers, providing solutions that lower the amount of money you spend keeping your facility cool while also improving the effectiveness of your light fixtures in Portland.

Better Illumination for Safety and Comfort

A brightly lit workplace is a safer workplace for your employees. LED lighting has been shown to help workers recognize color cues that distinguish warning signs and color-coded wiring on shop floors. A well-lit space engenders well-being and improves patient outlook in hospitals and healthcare centers. Your YESCO team of lighting retrofit experts can develop solutions to brightly light your warehouse, factory, office, hospitality, or retail space to set the mood you want to improve productivity and increase sales in Portland.
