Introduction
Rising energy costs and outdated lighting infrastructure are squeezing profitability for commercial and industrial sectors.
Key Challenges:
- Traditional 120V incandescent/12V halogen systems waste 90% energy as heat
- Subpar brightness despite high energy consumption
The 24V Advantage:
- Delivers 60% lower power consumption than legacy systems
- Saves $2,500/year for a 10,000 kWh warehouse (at $0.25/kWh)
- Seamless integration with renewable energy
