Lamps & Ballasts: End-of-Life Decisions
Maintenance Solutions August 2006
Developing disposal strategies requires knowing about products and options
Environmental awareness affects every area of institutional and commercial facilities, as well as most activities of maintenance and engineering departments. In recent years, such awareness has extended to lighting systems, primarily lamps and ballasts.
Managers face a host of options and decisions related to properly disposing of these products at the end of life (EOL), and developing a successful strategy starts with understanding the challenges and the resources available.
"This is the ultimate 'green' technology," said Duncan Earl in an ORNL release. Earl is a co-developer of the technology and chief technology officer of Oak Ridge startup company Sunlight Direct, which licensed the technology from ORNL last year.
Hybrid Lighting Technology Gaining Momentum

With 25 hybrid solar lighting systems scheduled to be installed by the end of 2006, the forecast is looking sunny for a technology developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Preliminary data from field units, which collect sunlight and pipe it into buildings using bundles of small optical fibers, show potentially significant energy savings in lighting and maintenance costs.

Mercury Spotlight
Extent of Mercury Pollution More Widespread Than Previously Thought, According To ReportMercury pollution is making its way into nearly every habitat in the nation, exposing countless species of wildlife to potentially harmful levels of mercury, according to a report released on Sept. 19 by the National Wildlife Federation.
"From songbirds to alligators, turtles to bats, eagles to otters, mercury is accumulating in nearly every corner of the food chain," said Catherine Bowes, northeast program manager for the National Wildlife Federation and principal author of the report. "This report paints a compelling picture of mercury contamination in the United States, and many more species are at risk than we previously thought. Fish, long thought to be the key species affected by mercury, are just the tip of the iceberg."
