I\hen choos'ing the best lamps for your needs (i,n your ffice, manufacturing or retailfacility) there are seueral basi,c points to consider: The Cost of Light is determined primarily by the cost of the electricity used to power the bulb. In fact,807o to 88% ofeaery dolløryou o I sþend on the cost of light is sþmt on electricity. I Saving your organization money depends on investment in the most energy effìcient lamps, since the purchase price of a bulb is only a small part of the total cost. Electricity For example, while the purchase price BB% of a compact fluorescent may be higher than a standard incandescent, the payback in many applications can be three months or less. This Spectrum ¡#,d catalog contains many lamp choices that can reduce your cost oflight. Refer to þage 13 f'or more detailed information on the cost of light. Color of light makes a significant impact on your place of business, and it's more than creating "the right mood." Studies have proven that employee productivity and retail sales figures are directly affected by changes in lighting.

In an effort to conserve the nation's energy resources the legislation now prohibits the manufacture of many common wattage fluores- cent and directional incan- descent lamps in the USA. The products offered for It's sale through this catalog reflect these changes.

How much does it cost to operate the bulb? How long will the bulb last? What about environmental impact? Are there any governmental restrictions? There are so many ques- tions about the rapidly changing world of lighting products. We're glad to offer a few answers to the most important" ones here. Today's quest for the best lighting solution is a matter of balancing economic, environmental, and product performance needs. The good news is: It can be done. The key is understanding what it is that makes each bulb different. Four major developments to keep in mind are: the trend of compactness, the drive toward optimum color, improvements in lamp efficacy and system efficiency, and the potential for optical control.

This is expressed as lumens per watt or LPW and is a measure of energy ef{ìciency. Varieties Lamps Color Rendering Colors appear differently under various light sources.

Their advantages include low initial cost, excellent color qualities, Color Temperature good optical control, and versatility.
