The lamps themselves are smaller, as are the ballast; they burn less electricity and provide a brighter more natural light. Also as opposed to hid fixtures; they do not require a cool down or warm up time. A good lighting rep can give you the proper percentages of effency and briteness. Check either the Lithonia or Cooper lighting websites and they might tell you the same thing.

These retrofits are a great way to save money and electricity plus you can rebates and incentives from your utility providers to help cover the cost.
