Colorado Lighting, Inc. is committed to providing our customers with the latest rules and regulations for lamp and ballast disposal on a state as well as federal level. Please refer to our Recycling information for more details about your ballast and lamp recycling needs.

When a light is flickering or going off and on, it is called cycling, which means that the lamp is at the end of its life and is drawing too much current. The ballast senses this and shuts the lamp off for a short amount of time. These abnormal currents will cause ballast heating and thereby reduce ballast life.

Lighting maintenance means action to recover light loss due to the following:

• Lamp lumen depreciation
• Dirt accumulation on lamps and luminaries
• Lamp burnouts
• Luminaire surface deterioration
• Room surface dirt accumulation

The most effective method of consistently maintaining illuminance and lighting quality at the lowest operating and maintenance cost is through a planned program. Planned lighting maintenance entails group relamping, cleaning lamps and luminaries, and replacing defective or broken components on a scheduled basis. For more detailed information on these energy services. Contact us today to schedule your lighting maintenance!

A retrofit of a lighting upgrade is when both ballasts and lamps are replaced. The advantage of this lighting design upgrade is that the new ballasts and lamps would be more high-tech than what is already in place, delivering more light for less energy consumption. This simple energy solution can create big benefits for your business.

Group relamping entails replacing all of the lamps in a system together after a fixed interval, called the economic group relamping interval. Group relamping should take place at approximately 70% to 80% of the rated lamp life.

TCLP is one of the Federal EPA test methods that facilities use to characterize their waste as either hazardous or non-hazardous for the purpose of disposal. TCLP is an acronym for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. It is performed by environmental testing labs. The TCLP test does not measure total mercury content, rather, it measures the amount of mercury that is expected to seep or leach into groundwater if a waste is landfill disposed. In the TCLP test, lamps are crushed into small pieces and mixed with an acidic solution. The acidic solution is then filtered from the lamp pieces. If less than 0.2 mg of mercury is found per liter of acidic test solution, the waste is characterized as non-hazardous waste under federal law. In most states, there are no special disposal requirements for non-hazardous waste lamps. Our electrical contractors have the knowledge to provide sustainable solutions for your Colorado company.

Mercury is used to generate light in all fluorescent lamps. When an electric current passes through mercury vapor, the mercury emits ultraviolet energy. When this ultraviolet energy passes through the phosphor coating, it produces light very efficiently. Today, there are no known energy–efficient substitutes for mercury in fluorescent lamps. As the lamp operates, the mercury is slowly absorbed by the various internal parts of the lamp. Because mercury is consumed during operation, a certain amount of mercury is necessary to achieve a long lamp life. The significantly reduced amount of mercury in Ecolux lamps is designed to optimize the balance between long lamp life and environmental concerns.
