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).
