Operations Center parking lot to get induction lighting

As part of Tri-State's continuing program to test and showcase new technologies in commercial lighting applications, Westminster building maintenance personnel will soon be installing induction lighting in the Westminster Operations Center parking lot.

Although induction lights are not mercury free like LED lights, they are often less expensive than LED applications and offer a long maintenance-free life in excess of 100,000 hours of operation.

The new lights can be retro-fitted into the operations center's existing parking lot light fixtures, allowing for easy installation. The induction lights are projected to use only about half the energy of the high-pressure sodium lights that they will replace. Installation is scheduled during the next several weeks.
