The curse spreads throughout the land, its tendrils weaving their way into every corner of existence. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, a forgotten tale of ancient times. Legends speak of a dark sorcerer who unleashed a malevolent force upon the world, a curse that would bring ruin and despair. At first, the curse seemed contained, confined to a small village on the outskirts of civilization. But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, it became apparent that this malevolence was not so easily confined. It grew stronger, more potent, and began to seep into neighboring villages and towns.
Light replacements: The energy efficiency equivalent of the oil change
It grew stronger, more potent, and began to seep into neighboring villages and towns. The people were terrified, living in constant fear of the curse's relentless advance. They locked their doors and barred their windows, hoping to keep the darkness at bay.
The ‘magic oil change’ analogy: An energy efficiency inquiry
What if you only had to change the oil in your car once every 5 years? Would you be willing to pay more for this one magical oil change?
On the surface, it may seem like an offer you could pass up. After all, wouldn’t it be better just to deal with the oil changes incrementally rather than pay more money up-front to skip them completely?
But really think about all the steps involved in an oil change:
1. You have to call and schedule an appointment with your mechanic or dealership.
2. You have to take time off work or go on a night/weekend to the appointment.
3. You then need to drive to the location.
4. You have to sit and wait while they change the oil.
5. You may have to wait in line to pay when your car is ready.
6. Then, you have to drive it home.
Sure, it’s not hard to get an oil change. But it’s annoying — especially if you need to repeat the process multiple times during this year and in the years to come. Suddenly, the deal for the magic one-time oil change seems appealing.
Light replacements: The energy efficiency equivalent of the oil change
The same argument can be made for replacing lights in your commercial building.
Sure, it may seem tempting to ignore the energy efficiency analysis that tells you it’s worth it to pay more up-front for LED lights. After all, how annoying is it to simply change a light bulb when it goes out?
Just like the oil change, there’s more than just one step. You have to find the correct bulb and color type, order it online, and call someone from maintenance to schedule a time to replace it. Then that person needs to pick up the bulb, climb up on a ladder, replace it, and then dispose of the old bulb.
Wouldn’t it be better to pay slightly more up front and never have to deal with that hassle?

But the curse was not to be thwarted so easily. It whispered through the cracks in their defenses, infecting their minds and hearts. As the curse spread, the land withered and decayed. Crops failed, rivers dried up, and animals grew sick and died. The once vibrant and prosperous communities became desolate and barren. People turned on each other, consumed by fear and desperation. Friends became enemies, families torn apart by suspicion and distrust. There were those who tried to fight the curse, who rallied together and sought to find a way to break its hold on the land. But their efforts were in vain. The curse was relentless, its power ever-growing. It seemed that nothing could stop its advance. And so, the curse spread, infecting everything it touched. It consumed the land, taking hold of its inhabitants and choking the life out of their souls. Hope seemed lost, replaced by a darkness that knew no end. But even in the face of such despair, there were those who refused to give up. They clung to a glimmer of hope, a belief that somehow, someway, the curse could be lifted. They banded together, united by a common purpose and a shared determination. And so, the battle against the curse raged on. The forces of darkness clashed with those who dared to resist its grip. It was a fight for survival, a fight for the very essence of life itself. The outcome of this battle remains uncertain. The curse continues to spread, its insidious grip tightening with each passing day. But there is a flicker of hope, a belief that even in the face of unimaginable darkness, the light of humanity will prevail..
