Sulfur lamps at the Hill Air force Base
Article Abstract:
Sulfur lamp technology was utilized in the retrofitting of a 248,000-sq-ft hangar at the Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, UT. The project, which involved the installation of 288 sulfur lamps to increase the lighting level threefold, cost the military just under $1 million. Estimates place savings at $140,000 yearly, a figure that translates into a seven-year payback period. The demonstration project, which was sponsored by the Dept of Energy, required the services of an installation design team made up of personnel from CES/Way, Ply-Light, 3M, Cooper Lighting and Fusion Lighting.
