== General Guidelines == | |||
When selecting fixtures and bulbs, the following general guidelines should be adhered to: | |||
* All fixtures and bulbs should utilize LEDs; incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent technology (including CFLs) should be avoided. | |||
* Use bulbs with a 3000 K color temperature. Where possible, bulbs should have a high CRI (90+). | |||
* Minimize unique fixtures and bulbs, etc. Where possible, refer to the sections below to match existing parts (unless improved versions are available). | |||
* Commercial grade fixtures should be used wherever possible (versus "residential" grade). | |||

=== Family Changing Area === | |||
The lights in the family changing area of 6" cans with Cree 1,400 lumen 19 W (120 W equivalent) 3000 K PAR38 90+ CRI LED bulbs (Home Depot SKU 1003005635). Regarding the cans' semi-odd placement, at the time, the pancake/disc style fixtures were not considered. The recessed fixtures were placed to avoid various bits of wooden structure and existing metal conduit. | |||

=== Men's and Women's === | |||
The "vapor-proof" fixtures in the men's and women's bathrooms (including shower areas) are TOGGLED HV420PO-A423-40230. Each contains two 3,100 lumen 26 W 4000 K LED bulbs. These fixtures do not adhere to the 3000K color temperature standard mentioned above (lack of availability). | |||

The parking lot consists of two 136 W 4000K LED "roadway" lights on 6 foot support arms attached to wooden poles. Each light produces 17,400 lumens (initial). These lights are owned and maintained by DTE. The club pays a monthly fee that covers the cost of the installation, maintenance and electricity. | The parking lot consists of two 136 W 4000K LED "roadway" lights on 6-foot support arms attached to wooden poles.

The existing 500 W incandescent pool lights are energy inefficient and require frequent maintenance. The fixtures are old, and despite gasket replacement, are prone to leak. Repair of these fixtures is very expensive when outsourced (roughly $500) and time-consuming when handled in-house. | The existing 500 W incandescent pool lights are energy inefficient and require frequent maintenance.

New fixtures from Pentair are proposed ([https://www.pentair.com/en-us/products/residential/pool-spa-equipment/pool-lighting/intellibrite_5g_whiteledpoollights.html Intellibrite 5G White LED]). The cost per fixture is roughly $700, $750, or $800, depending upon the needed cable length (50, 100, or 150 ft, respectively). Rough estimates suggest 5 x 50 ft, 4 x 100 ft and 1 x 150 ft lengths may be needed.

The pool deck post lights have an interesting history. Nobody asked seemed to know anything about them in 2020 - they were non-functional, and minimally useful prior to that. At some point, frosted glass globes were replaced with low-cost four-sided fixtures with 13 W CFL bulbs. Far too small to provide any light, and proportionally way off on a tall lamp post (one might say "visually ridiculous"). | The pool deck post lights have an interesting history.

This junction box traverses the north wall, dropping into another junction box that originally had a duplex receptacle. From there, it ran to a basement junction box via #10 AWG wiring - panel markings suggest this was originally a 30 A circuit, which is curious as all lamp post wiring is #12 AWG (20 A). The 30 A circuit may have been used for the "kiddie pool" pump? | ||

The fixtures are presumed to be original from the 1967 build. As of 2022, the preferred bulb is a Feit Electric 750 lumen 10.5 W 3000 K non-dimmable PAR30 (UPC 1780152960). | |||
