Industry: 2013
By: Precision Paragon [P2]

2. • Every year we distribute our survey to over 4,000 of
the most knowledgeable lighting industry experts
available: our customers
• Our customers are comprised of lighting maintenance
and relighting companies, energy focused electrical
contractors, energy focused stocking distributors and

of the lighting industry experts we surveyed expected
moderate or substantial growth in their revenues from
energy-efficient retrofits in 2012.

4. 2012 Lighting Revenue
• This year, when we asked how much growth they
actually saw in 2012, 67% reported either moderate
or substantial growth. That's a difference of just 2%
between expected and actual growth!

5. • Those surveyed are even more positive about 2013 than they were about
predicting growth in 2012.
• 77% of survey respondents expect either moderate or substantial growth in
2013, up 7% from last year.

6. Nearly Half Use Automated Controls
• Nearly half of all current lighting projects are using some form of automatic
lighting controls
• It makes sense to assess the suitability of automatic lighting controls in nearly
every project from what our survey determined

7. • Simply stated, It's when a computer turns the lights off for you when you
leave the room. We think it's pretty amazing stuff. We wrote a more
detailed description of what lighting controls can do on our blog.

8. Fluorescent Still Dominants
• This year, 68% of our survey takers said that they expect High-Bay
Fluorescent lighting to be the dominant lighting technology they install in
2013. This number might be surprising since LED's seems to get all the
news coverage
• LED lighting has made advances in the past year, and that’s reflected by
our survey takers, 26% say they will install it dominantly in 2013
• Although, fluorescent lighting has made significant advances in the past
year. Just recently, major lamp manufacturers began to release lamps
with 80,000 hour rated lives. For a lamp that operates 12 hours a day for
365 days a year, that’s a rated lifespan of over 18-years
• When you combine that with the low initial cost, it’s a no-brainer as to why
our survey takers expect it to be the predominant technology they install
in 2013

10. Continued Growth for the Industry
• We conducted our first energy-efficient lighting survey in 2009. A couple
of things have remained consistent: our industry is continuing to grow and
we're saving American businesses money year after year!
• Reducing energy costs while improving lighting quality was something
that businesses wanted in 2009, it's something that businesses want in
2013 and beyond. P-2 has a plan to be there, giving our customers the
fixtures they need and delivering cost savings and lighting improvements.
