This produces brighter lighting compared with conventional fluorescents of the same wattage. In the case, of LightCon 4000, it is equipped with an intelligent lighting-control system, which adapts the illumination level to individual requirements. For example, roof lighting can be off during daylight hours, with moderately heavy illumination at dusk and dimmed lighting inside and out during evening and night hours. The automated lighting control system reduced power consumption and smaller electricity bills year after year. With subdued illumination in the daytime, the tubes take so little strain that their useful life is typically extended by 1.5 to 4 years.
All requirements are individual, and so, is the financial outlay.
But a total lighting solution normally involves no greater investment than can be recouped after 1-2 years. After that, it represents only money saved thereafter. No limitation to this technology was noted.
