View Large Image Download (PDF)

By changing nearly 1,000 fluorescent lamps from 40-watt T-12's to 32-watt T-8's and 2 low efficiency magnetic ballasts per fixture to 1 high efficiency electronic ballast per fixture, energy consumption for lighting in the Alliance Center has been reduced by about 40%. The lighting retrofit is estimated to pay for itself in 2.5 years.
