Efficient lighting from Lithonia Lighting does not require system replacement

These new options from Lithonia Lighting can be installed without replacing the entire lighting system.

June 2, 2008—Existing buildings now can achieve the same quality, performance and energy savings associated with RT5 volumetric lighting without replacing the entire lighting system as part of the new Relight solution from Lithonia Lighting, says the company.

The company has also introduced ES8R relight fixtures, which bring outdated, inefficient spaces into new light without the hassle of full-fixture replacement. Building upon the ES8 merits of efficiency, the new ES8 relight fixtures provide an environmentally friendly solution for existing buildings, says the company.

Delivering the same features as RT5 volumetric lighting, RT5R fixtures eliminate harsh shadows created by parabolics, and offer uniform, comfortable lighting with increased energy savings. With RT5R relight fixtures, outdated buildings can relight their space and increase employee productivity, save your business time and money, and embrace a more friendly environmental approach. Enterprises will retain use of the space during the relighting process, and will experience fast payback and ongoing savings from reduced energy and maintenance costs.

Relighting with ES8 fixtures also creates a visible improvement, eliminating the "cave effect" created by traditional parabolics. The fixtures improve the balance between horizontal and vertical light levels, enhancing and updating the overall look of the space, says the company. They also promote environmental sustainability by reusing existing fixture housings while further reducing waste through 50% fewer lamp replacements, reduced CO2 production and use of recyclable materials.

Operational efficiency is achieved through reduced energy consumption—ES8R fixtures provide up to 67% energy savings in comparison to four-lamp T12 fixtures and are also eligible for many utility rebates.
