Outdated Lighting Is Costing Your Business!
Posted in General by Net Zero USA
If you are like most business owners, you have probably never thought about how much money you are spending on lighting. So to save you some time, below we’ve calculated the lighting costs for common business scenarios, as well as the opportunities for SAVING money using LED lighting upgrades & retrofits.
T12/T8 Fluorescent Lighting to LED Cost Comparison
Most offices across America use T12 fluorescent light fixtures, though some newer buildings may use a slightly more energy efficient T8 option.
Assuming a business keeps the lights on for 10 hours per day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year, it could be spending upwards of $3,000 dollars per year on lighting costs.
A simple LED lighting retrofit from Net Zero USA could bring this number down to just over $1,000 bucks per year! That’s a 68% savings going from T8 to LED, and a 70% savings going from T12 to LED!!

24/7 Lighting Scenarios
The savings are even more dramatic in facilities where lights are kept on 24/7, like many national fitness clubs and gymnasiums. A 24/7 gym club can reduce the money spent on lighting from nearly $12,000 dollars per year with T12 to under $4,000 dollars using Net Zero USA’s modern LED solutions!

Metal Halide To LED Lighting Cost Comparison
For a third example of the power of energy efficient commercial lighting upgrades, let’s take a look at those great big metal halide light fixtures common in warehouses and distribution facilities.
Many smaller metal halides use a bulb that burns 400 watts each hour. Using the same assumptions as above, a facility with 400W metal halide lighting spends upwards of $10k each year on lighting. However, this number can easily be reduced to under $4k per year using Net Zero USA’s 150 watt LED for metal halide retrofit solution.
A 1,000 watt metal halide light fixture is common at many older manufacturing & distribution centers in the Northeast. Can you believe that a facility with 1,000W metal halide lighting spends $26k just on lighting?! That’s crazy!!
Here we have some HUGE opportunities for saving money with another simple LED lighting upgrade. By using Net Zero USA’s 320 watt LED for metal halide retrofit this number can be reduced to $8,320 dollars, or a savings of over $17k!
