Fifth Light Technology

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Benefits to the Building Manager

Reduced Energy Consumption

Our patented lighting management system technology dims fluorescent lights by up to 75% during normal hours while maintaining the light output proportional to the power consumed. As well, the power factor is maintained above 95%, flicker and audible noise are removed, and in the case of the dimmer--the heat associated with the magnetic ballasts is significantly reduced. Consequently, the life expectancy of both the ballasts and the tubes is extended, and the quality of the light is improved significantly. Moreover, effective time management of the lighting system can typically reduce the energy consumption of the lighting system by 35% or more.

Increased Revenue via DSR Initiatives

Maximum savings are generated from reducing the peak energy demand at the most critical times when energy costs are highest, and when polluting plants have to be brought into operation. Utilities offer DSR reduction programs to consumers who are willing to significantly reduce their consumption in addition to their fixed reduction grants.

Improved Lighting Quality

Tenant satisfaction has become a priority. Fifth Light's system allows tenants to customize their lighting requirements to suit individual needs and preferences.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

The need for expensive re-wiring alterations when tenant space requirements change becomes obsolete with the ability to adapt lighting groups by the click of a mouse. In addition, the prolonged life of tube light results in a reduction in tube disposal costs.

Benefits to the Utilities & Government

The need to build new power plants in order to meet peak demand is eliminated due to:

  • Reduction in line losses
  • Improvement of power system stability
  • Elimination of need for load shedding
  • Reduction in the peak power capacity and the use of pollution producing facilities.

Benefits to the Energy Consumer

Overall reduction as it relates to energy costs, as the need to purchase power during peak hours is lowered, in addition to capital maintenance costs, and a significant decrease of flicker, noise and glare.
