INCREASE EFFICACY - The First Piece of the Puzzle
We've used the same lighting sources for decades. They lack the efficiency to cope with today's increasing energy demands and costs. Millions of installed products need to be replaced to keep pace with our increasing energy demands. The technology exists today to provide the same high-quality lighting with significantly reduced energy and maintenance costs. Replace any existing luminaire with an equivalent B-K Lighting or Teka Illumination product. Provide at least 100% improvement in system efficacy, and we will provide a factory rebate to help offset the cost.
RECYCLE PRODUCT - The Second Piece of the Puzzle
All products have an operational lifetime. When an existing product reaches end of life, it can easily be recycled. Just send the product back to us, purchase an equivalent product that uses BKSSL technology, and we will provide an additional factory rebate to help offset the cost. Reduce landfill inputs, decrease carbon emissions, replenish our resources and improve your clientâ€™s bottom line. Energy conscious investment makes good sense to the environment and good sense for your business. Realize these eco-rewards by participating in our innovative GreenSource Initiative™. With B-K Lighting and Teka Illumination, being green is no longer puzzling.

	Solar
	A 240-kilowatt solar electric system transforms the roof of the B-K Lighting in Madera, California into a state-of-the-art renewable energy source. With 680 Mitsubishi Electric 170-watt panels, it supplies 2/3 of our overall yearly electrical power.
Sustainable
The copper, brass, steel and bronze in Teka Illumination products are meant for long life and low maintenance. These enduring metals are timeless and extraordinarily resistant to environmental corrosion and physical abuse. An estimated 80% of all mined copper is still in use.

Recycling
Design a product that is manufactured from recycled materials and make most of its components recyclable for another use: That is the essence of our product design doctrine. We capture our waste during manufacturing processes for recycling. When the luminaire has surpassed its useful life, most of it is recyclable.
	People
	A greener workplace means a lighter ecological footprint, a healthier and more productive place to work, and good news for the bottom line. Employees are encouraged and compensated for carpooling. Recycle bins are available throughout the building, making it easy to recycle paper, glass, plastic and aluminum.
