Even in today's cleaner office environments light levels deteriorate over a period of time simply because the louvers, diffusers or lighting reflectors gather dirt dust and contaminants from the atmosphere. When this occurs, generally more lights are switched on to compensate which clearly has environmental and economic consequences.
Environmental Benefits
Environmental issues and the responsibility to make savings on energy are getting hard to ignore and the pressures placed on businesses are growing.
More often than not the light fittings are perfectly serviceable however the reflective surface is soiled or contaminated reducing the efficiency of the lighting by as much as 40%. Depending on the building, its use and location, this can happen in as little as twelve months.
A decision could be made to replace the light fittings, which would restore efficient lighting but actually be environmentally damaging at the same time. Ultrasonically cleaning the light fittings is environmentally sound both in terms of the energy used to clean lighting compared to producing new lighting as well at the obvious resulting land fill waste products from the old light units.
The ultrasonic cleaning process is efficient in its use of electrical power and water consumption.
Economic Benefits
Replacing light fittings is expensive and therefore easy to put off against any savings made on energy costs. Ultrasonically cleaning the lighting components is an economic, affordable option.
The savings that can be made between new and cleaned lighting vary depending on the light fitting but on average cleaning lighting will save 75%. That figure is based just on the cost of new fittings, so with installation labour costs to add, this is would be far greater.
Disruption to businesses / office building is minimal as turnaround times are fast and the ceiling, wiring and building services are not affected by our maintenance service.
