Feedback on the Green Business Light Service
"The new low energy lighting installed at AFL has been a success - we have been able to save energy and reduce the general safety risks associated with metal halide fixtures. A retrofit option for the induction lamps into our existing fixture housings was especially useful. Green Business Light listened to our needs and made sure that we were aware of all suitable options for new energy efficient lighting at our site."
