Why do I still have maintenance costs?

Maintenance costs are the result of labor are lamp and ballast replacement. If you have a lamp type specied, instead of None, lamps will be replaced according to your maintenance strategy selection. If the lamp has no replacement cost, there will still be costs incured if there is a lamp replacement rate and time. The same is true for ballast replacement.

Besides Lamp and Ballast replacement, luminaire cleaning also contributes to maintenance costs. You can set cleaning labor rate to zero to remove cleaning costs from your analysis.
