Bay Lighting

In the early 2000s, the electrical distribution industry was in a consolidation phase. Large chains were purchasing local companies, and the marketplace was becoming void of personal touch. Many commercial lighting customers sought the professional guidance and customized service they had relied on in the past. Brothers John and Kevin Richardson recognized the opportunity for a new, local company to shine. With a focus on the property management sector, Bay Lighting was founded in 2003 to provide property management companies premier lighting solutions for their facilities.

Mercury Lamp Recycling Process

Fluorescent lamps, CFLs, and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps contain small amounts of mercury. While lamps are not a major source of mercury pollution, the improper disposal of large numbers of lamps does add to mercury in the environment.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has special regulations for mercury-containing lamps and their U.S. EPA Mercury Lamp Drum-Top Crusher Study is a great resource for a safe recycling process. Determining the best way to recycle mercury lamps at your facility is a decision that should be carefully evaluated. Research current best practices, learn more about the options in your state, and protect your employees. Click here for a side-by-side infographic comparison.
