Cireon solid state lighting reduces the energy consumption of traditional commercial fluorescent lighting by 45-50% and HID (metal halide, high pressure sodium) lighting by 75-80%. There are no bulbs or ballasts to change (or parts and labor costs) over the minimum 60,000 hour life (to 87% minimum output). Additionally, the inherent linear dimming capabilities allow photocells and occupancy sensors to provide additional savings not feasible with fluorescent or HID. Cireon is dedicated to revitalizing the American manufacturing industry. 100% of our production tooling systems are sourced with US manufacturers. 30% of all commercial energy is spent on lighting. With energy costs, environmental awareness, and the importance of energy indpendence rising, plus the simple need to cut operating costs, the solid state lighting technology is quickly being adopted in our market. Our customers include numerous Fortune 500s, schools and universities, government entities, and more, all of whom are enjoying the energy and maintenance savings our solid state technology.
