MCC 169 - Parkside Gardens - London, Ontario

Scope: Parking Garage Retrofit

Replaced 100 watt High Pressure Sodium canopy lights with 40 watt 4000K LED fixtures
The garage felt dark and gloomy with the HPS fixtures. The 4100K light makes everything brighter and safer
The rebate was $88.00 per fixture. The simple payback was 2.5 years. The fixtures will be completely maintenance free for about seven years!

Scope: Outdoor Wall Pack Retrofit

Replaced 22 outdoor wall packs of 175 watts Metal Halide with 60 watt 5000K LED wall packs
Maintained the integrity of the appearance of the building by using identical replacement fixtures
The 5000K light took a bit to get used to, but is becoming the generally accepted colour temperature for outdoor applications
The rebate was $88.00 per fixture. The simple payback was 3 years. The fixtures will be completely mainteance free for over a decade!

Scope: Warehouse High Bay Lighting Retrofit

Replaced 25 metal halide high bay fixtures with 25 4-lamp T5 fluoecsent high bay
Warehouse went from dim to completely dark...due to the use of factory installed motion sensors on the T5 fixtures. Warehouse remains completely dark until motion is sensed
Light levels when in use more than doubled. Plus T5 lamps lose less than 10% of original light at the end of life
The rebate was 50% of the cost of the fixtures. Payback to be determined, but, WOW!

Scope: Track Lighting Retrofit

Replaced 1500 of 50 watt 12 volt halogen lamps with 7.5 watt 3000K LED bulbs
Light levels stayed the same. Furniture displays actually appeared brighter because the LED bulbs specified are just a shade whiter than halogen
The rebate was 50% of the cost of the retrofit. The simple payback was 2 years. The bulbs will be maintenance free for about 12 years!
In 1992, this store was using 1500 of 150 watt incandescent floods. In 1996, 1500 of 90 watt halogen. In 2003, 1500 of 50 watt halogen. In 2014, 1500 of 7.5 watt LED. WOW!
