WHAT IS CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS WASTE?
Colorado Lighting, Inc. is committed to providing our customers with the latest rules and regulations for lamp and ballast disposal on a state as well as federal level. Please refer to our Recycling information for more details about your ballast and lamp recycling needs.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON?
When a light is flickering or going off and on, it is called cycling, which means that the lamp is at the end of its life and is drawing too much current. The ballast senses this and shuts the lamp off for a short amount of time. These abnormal currents will cause ballast heating and thereby reduce ballast life.
WHAT IS LIGHTING MAINTENANCE?
Lighting maintenance means action to recover light loss due to the following: lamp lumen depreciation, dirt accumulation on lamps and luminaries, lamp burnouts, luminaire surface deterioration, and room surface dirt accumulation.
HOW DO YOU PLAN A LIGHTING MAINTENANCE PROGRAM?
The most effective method of consistently maintaining illuminance and lighting quality at the lowest operating and maintenance cost is through a planned program. Planned lighting maintenance entails group relamping, cleaning lamps and luminaries, and replacing defective or broken components on a scheduled basis.

WHAT IS A RETROFIT?
A retrofit or lighting upgrade is when both ballasts and lamps are replaced. The advantage is that the new ballasts and lamps would be more high-tech than what is already in place, delivering more light for less energy consumption. This simple energy solution can create big benefits for your business.
WHAT IS A RELAMP?
Group relamping entails replacing all of the lamps in a system together after a fixed interval, called the economic group relamping interval. Group relamping should take place at approximately 70% to 80% of the rated lamp life.
WHAT IS THE TCLP TEST AND WHAT DOES IT MEASURE?
TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) is a Federal EPA test method used to characterize waste as hazardous or non-hazardous. It measures the amount of mercury expected to leach into groundwater if landfilled. If less than 0.2 mg of mercury is found per liter, it is characterized as non-hazardous. Our electrical contractors can provide sustainable solutions for your company.
WHY DO FLUORESCENT LIGHTS CONTAIN MERCURY?
Mercury is used to generate light; when an electric current passes through mercury vapor, it emits ultraviolet energy which the phosphor coating turns into light. Currently, there are no energy-efficient substitutes for mercury in fluorescent lamps. Modern Ecolux lamps are designed to optimize the balance between long life and environmental concerns.
HOW HIGH DO YOUR BUCKET TRUCKS REACH?
We have several bucket trucks, including units that reach up to 100 feet. Our trained electrical contractors can provide extensive sign installation services to accompany our modern energy solutions.
