Not only do the savings go directly into your pocket from a reduction in your monthly utility bills, but the carbon footprint your business is leaving is smaller.

The decision to change out your existing fluorescent lights should be an easy one. You’ve been diligently maintaining your T5, T8, and/or T12 fluorescent tube lights for many years.
