NOTES: 1 A medium sized automotive dealership typically has 150 fixtures on site. If your dealership varies from this size, savings can be calculated using the following multiplier: 0.67 [100 fixtures], 1.33 [200 fixtures], 1.67 [250 fixtures]. 2 Total annual cost is the cost of operating 150 fixtures 10 hours per day with a national average energy cost of $0.10 per KWH. Annual Cost = (Input watts)*(# of fixtures)*(operating hours)*(days/year)*(KWH/1000). 3 Annual Savings is the money saved by operating 150 fixtures for 10 hours per day with the listed pulse start lamp over the standard 1000W probe start lamp. Annual Savings = (Total Annual 1000W Probe Start MH cost) - (Total Annual Cost Pulse Start MH).

Beyond efficient light source selection, close-of-business site light dimming offers the next level of energy savings opportunities. On average, site lighting installations operate for approximately 10 hours each evening. During this time, only 4-6 hours are during actual business hours. Through close-of-business dimming protocol an average sized dealership could reduce operating expenses related to lighting system energy consumption in excess of 38%. Cooper Lighting’s Hi-Low dimming option enables increased energy savings through an internally integrated dimming relay that reduces power while closely maintaining site lighting uniformity levels that ensure safety and inventory protection throughout the site.

If your dealership varies from this size, savings can be calculated using the following multiplier: 0.67 [100 fixtures], 1.33 [200 fixtures], 1.67 [250 fixtures]. 2 Total annual cost is the cost of operating 150 fixtures 5 hours per day with a national average energy cost of $0.10 per KWH. Annual Cost = (Input watts)*(# of fixtures)*(operating hours)*(days/year)*(KWH/1000). 3 Annual Savings is the money saved by operating 150 fixtures in dimmed operation for 5 hours per day. Annual Savings = (Total Annual [Full Power] Cost) - (Total Annual [Hi-Low Dimming] Cost).
