Keeping it Green 

Little steps go a long way…

Re-purposed Fresnel

Parlights is committed to being environmentally responsible. Wherever possible, we reuse, re-task, reduce, and recycle. Not only do we recycle much of our office waste such as paper, toner/ink cartridges, bottles, and cans, but we also recycle old dimming system components, consoles, and fixtures. We even donate used but viable fixtures to struggling non-profits whenever possible.

In the office, we keep the temperature a few degrees higher in the summer and a few degrees lower in the winter. After hours, our thermostats automatically set the temperature appropriate for the season. We use natural and task lighting instead of general lighting where practical. In the summer, we curtain off our larger display windows to block sunlight and reduce air conditioning needs.

We are very excited about the innovations in LED technology and the potential energy and pollution savings that can be achieved. We have been researching some very innovative solutions for around the office and backstage as well. We will share what we learn, here and in email blasts in the future — so remember to subscribe to our mailing list to get them!
