Before and After Canto USA RETRO Install: Fairfax High School
Fairfax High School replaced 105 500-watt E11 mini-candelabra lamps with 3000K RETRO-Classic® 500 E11 units equipped with short reflectors. The upgraded fixtures continue to dim through the school’s ETC Sensor3 dimmer rack.
The project reduced connected load from 52,500 watts to 5,145 watts, a reduction of more than 90 percent. According to the legacy project description, the retrofit also increased light output by approximately 30 to 40 percent while addressing the short service life of the previous lamps.
