Lighting & Energy Efficiency
Becoming energy-efficient is a goal everyone is pushing for. Thanks to companies like StarPak, this goal is now closer than ever. Whether replacing inefficient lighting or sizing a smart motor control, these products maximize performance by reducing power waste.
Daylight Tube
StarPak Daylight Tubes can eliminate your daytime electricity requirements. Here's how they work: A crystal clear circular rooftop sky-dome collects all available daylight, directing it through highly reflective tubing to poorly lit areas deep inside your building. StarPak Daylight Tubes easily install — less intrusively than skylights—and consistently admit huge amounts of natural daylight into your sun-starved interior rooms and corridors. Studies show daylighting improves attention levels and cognition, eliminating that dulled feeling from artificial lamps. Also available for pitched roofs in residential areas.

High Efficiency Lighting
We provide lighting upgrades for inefficient ballasts, high-output fluorescent lighting, and commercial parking lot and hallway lighting, to name a few. StarPak's proposed fluorescent upgrades bring your entire facility to Best-Practice condition. While t8 32 watt bulbs have been the recommended standard for some 15 years now, steady improvements in both bulbs and ballasts have resulted in a seemingly impossible “2+2=5” ideal becoming now within reach: StarPak will re-lamp your fixtures to higher-lumen new 28watt bulbs, with ballasts so efficient that the total system wattage measures less than the bulb ratings themselves. In addition to the substantial energy savings shown, you will also enjoy substantial utility rebates.

Variable Frequency Drives
StarPak variable frequency drives (“VFDs”) will work with an existing system’s motor to be as efficient as possible with a motor’s power usage. With oversized motors, VFDs can reduce power usage significantly while maintaining performance. Many smart commercial buildings have already turned to VFD control for their fans, pumps, or blowers. Drives adjust the effective speed of the motor, so if an application can run at 80% speed, nearly 50% of the power use could be saved! The longer-running the application, the bigger the savings. VFDs are great with heating, ventilation and cooling applications, and oversized pool pumps. Sized for motors from 1 to 100 hP.
