Lighting directly consumes 20 percent of electricity in the United States,
but that figure rises to 21–34 percent (estimates vary) if
space-conditioning loads resulting from waste heat generated by lighting are
taken into account. Half of this lighting is used in commercial buildings.
If advanced lighting technologies were fully applied in the United States,
the resulting electricity savings would negate the need for 120
1,000-megawatt power plants. Doing this would save ratepayers $30 billion a
year just on the cost of operating those plants (never mind the cost of
building them).
According to energy statistics compiled by the Energy Information Administration from manufacturer surveys, lighting consumes 27% of the total electric bill for U.S. manufacturers. In electric-intensive industries, lighting may accounts for as little as 5% of the electric load. In finished goods manufacturing, such as printers and assembly operations, lighting consumes 40% to 50%. The impact of industrial lighting projects on overall electric use is considerable, these projects typically have short payback periods and make noticeable improvements to the working environment. New technologies for lighting have greatly improved the quality, controllability, and efficiency of industrial lighting systems. Lighting systems installed 10 or more years ago could be candidates for change-out. In particular, experts emphasize improvements in the quality of light available from newer industrial fixtures that can lead to productivity gains on the plant floor. For this reason, all industries should evaluate their lighting systems.
