In today’s economy, healthcare facilities need to do everything they can

to protect their bottom lines. Simplification, along with energy-efficient,

long-lasting lighting solutions, means savings.

Because healthcare organizations operate 24–7, even small gains in efficiency

can lead to significant savings. Replacing outdated lighting systems with more

efficient, environmentally-friendly solutions will reduce energy consumption

and maintenance requirements, saving funds for the core mission: healthcare

delivery.Working with fewer lamp types and standardizing wattages can reduce

complexity, making maintenance more manageable and less costly.

Philips has a strong commitment to sustainability and is continuously finding innovative ways to

provide more environmentally sound and energy efficient choices for you.We are convinced that

those facilities that combine the principles of economic growth and environmental stewardship

will be the winners in the future.

To access your potential savings, our team of lighting experts can perform a Lighting Audit to

help you maximize your profits without sacrificing your staff and patients’ experience.

Healthcare T.C.O.O.:The Total Cost of (Lighting) Ownership

Understanding how various lighting choices impact the bottom line is essential.These elements

will affect a property’s payback, cash outlays and return on investment.Taken together, it’s the

total cost of ownership, or T.C.O.O.

Four factors drive the total cost of lighting ownership:

1. Product

The initial purchase cost
for the lighting system.

Beyond first cost, compare performance:
service life, lumen maintenance, and color
rendering and stability.

2. Energy

Annual operating hours
multiplied by electrical cost
(kWh).

Consider product wattages as well as light
output and lamp performance.

3. Maintenance

Includes labor and
relamping costs.

Longer-life lamps that maintain color stability
and lumen output can reduce maintenance.

4. Disposal

The end-of-life cost, including
disposal and recycling of
lamps, ballasts and fixtures.

Another area where longer-life lamps benefit
the healthcare facilities, by reducing waste
and cost.
