Holophane Lighting Renovation Methods

Holophane has been one of the leaders in lighting renovation for over a century already. Its expertise, resources and flexibility is more than sufficient to answer any lighting need. They have very unique lighting renovation methods that are guaranteed to give the best results. The following is a list of what they do:

Retrofitting: Here they examine the efficiency of the luminaries that their client currently have. The components are replaced in order to improve performance. Lamps and ballasts are normally substituted with better product. So are reflectors, lenses or louvers. Sometimes, depending on the condition, budget and time constraints, they are just cleaned instead to improve their performance. If possible, control systems are also installed.

Replacement: Old luminaries that are still using outdated technology are placed on a one-for-one basis with new more highly efficient luminaries. For better lam lumen depreciation and maximized lumens per watt, HID pulse start lamps and ballasts replace HID probe start ones. Fluorescent
T8/T5HO replaces T12 for lower energy consumption and increased lumens per watt. At times, electronic ballasts also replace magnetic ballasts for increased ballast efficiency. Whats good about Holophane luminaries is that it can often light an area to the same foot-candle level with less wattage. This is due to the superior optical performance of their products. Lower wattage means greater energy savings. In addition to their functionality, new luminaries also add to the aesthetics of the overall environment with new designs.

Relight: This is an amazing in depth analysis of the existing environment. Here, a new lighting system is implemented through use of efficient luminaries with less costs of ownership. There is a thorough analysis of regulatory compliance, circuit sizing, control system, interior design, traffic control, visibility, psychological responses, appearance, flexibility requirements, user expectations, and day light contributions. Older luminaries, wiring and conduits are removed, to be replaced by newer, more effective ones. A brand new lighting system is installed along with an efficient control system that maximizes energy savings. This method is a thorough approach to factors affecting the quality of light as well as initial, operating and maintenance costs.
