Reduce Energy Costs with Arcticlite Lighting Fixtures T he Arcticlite ice rink lighting fix- tures are specifically designed fluo- rescent fixtures that are thermally engineered for indoor ice facilities. The Arcticlite ice arena lighting systems deliver substantial energy savings. If your facility currently uses 250-watt, 400-watt, 1000-watt metal halides or even T12 fluo- rescent fixtures, replacing them with Arcticlite T-5 fluorescent fixtures will typically result in energy reduction of 50 percent or more. In addition to the extraordinary wattage reduction, Arcticlite fixtures introduce far less heat into your facility, thus reducing your refrigeration loads. While halide fixtures burn very hot, Articlite T-5 fluorescent fixtures operate up to 70 percent cooler than metal halide fixtures, which can result in an additional 12 to 19 percent in energy savings due to BTU reduction.
