I could use some expert help spending some of my company's money replacing fluorescent fixtures with LED. Here are the requirements:
- RATING: to qualify for local energy consortium rebates, fixtures must be DLC listed, or EnergyStar rated (they provide comparatively small rebates for Type A and B fluorescent replacement tubes, so I'll be going with either Type C tubes or standalone fixtures)
- STYLE: surface mounted on ceiling (not recessed): most will be panel lights, but a few need be aimable track-style lights
- CONTROLS: dimmable; controllable by daylight/motion sensor (we get extra rebates for these features)
- INSTALLATION: ceiling is about 9'/3m (not high bay); in the USA
- CRI: min 80 for all, a few at 90 if possible for a dedicated visual inspection area, and the rest should be at least 80 for general administrative work
- CCT: 4000-5000K (current is 4100K; I'm open to going slightly cooler)
- SIZE: I'm replacing about 3 kW of fluorescents as a pilot project in my inspection area, and will hopefully roll out replacements throughout the rest of my plant, about 75-100 kW of fluorescents in our high bays and other office areas
- PRICE: I can sell my cheap CEO on a few more expensive high-CRI lights for specific areas, but the entire project and follow-on upgrades will be in jeopardy if the bulk of the fixtures are too expensive
Thanks for the help! I'm having a hard time finding too many options with decent CRI, DLC or EnergyStar, and decent price.
