Environmental Benefits

• By saving electricity, you are reducing air pollution generated by power plants.
• For every kilowatt hour that you save, you are avoiding releasing 1.1 pounds of carbon dioxide (a major greenhouse gas).
• By reducing the amount of electricity that you use during the hours of 12 pm and 7 pm during week days, you are helping alleviate the need to build more power plants in California.

An Energy Saving Tip: Maintaining your linear fluorescent tubes

The combination of lamps and ballasts that we specify as part of the Smart Lights Program is designed to maximize lamp life, light output, and light quality. In maintaining your new linear fluorescent tubes: Never replace a T-8 fluorescent tube with the thicker T-12 tube. You will burn out the lamps much more quickly. Never replace electronic ballasts with magnetic ballasts. This too will shorten the life of your lamps.
