Commercial lighting has several implications for a business’s bottom line, profit margin, and safety. Not only do these lights make up about a third of a business’s energy costs — they also contribute to the experience of customers and employees alike. Light bulb and ballast changing services are among the many commercial maintenance services offered by The Budd Group. Our team of professionals aims to help businesses reduce their energy output, increase workplace safety, and utilize the right lighting for their specific needs.
What Are Ballasts?
Ballasts are electronic or electromagnetic devices that help regulate the voltage output of certain kinds of bulbs, such as fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights. These types of lights draw a lot of electrical current, meaning they burn bright, hot, and fast. A ballast limits this energy use, saving a business money while taming and preserving the life of the light.
A business might use various types of bulbs, each differing in efficiency, brightness, heat output, etc. The Budd Group is equipped to work with all types of lighting, including:
Ballasts aren’t necessary for all types of lighting (i.e. incandescent, LED), but they’re needed for a number of bulb types, such as fluorescent lights, HID bulbs, and metal halide lamps.
Replacing bulbs and ballasts is an essential part of building maintenance. Modern lighting systems can last a long time. However, all bulbs will need to be changed over time. This is partly a matter of aesthetics, as flickering, fading, and discolored lights can harm a business’s look and atmosphere. But more importantly, replacing old bulbs and ballasts is a matter of safety and energy preservation. Waiting too long to replace lights can lead to overheating, explosions, electrical failure, and more.
Older lights also tend to use more energy than newer lights, raising a business’ energy costs. When it’s time to change out bulbs and ballasts, leave it to lighting maintenance professionals. The Budd Group can properly remove, install, and help maintain every kind of lighting system.
At The Budd Group, our approach to facility maintenance is holistic, encompassing every aspect and component that keeps a building and business safe and successful. This includes lighting systems maintenance, designed to maximize bulb longevity and efficiency, reduce energy costs, and ensure safety.
