LED Bulbs Slash Towns Maintenance Costs

Pekin, Ill. is upgrading the bulbs in all of the towns 178 ornamental streetlights with highly efficient and long lasting LED bulbs. The original bulbs and ballast in the ornamental light have been a drain on the cities budget due to high maintenance costs. The old bulbs and ballast have needed frequent replacement since being installed during the cities streetscape project of 2000. Upkeep of the old lights has required the city to keep replacement bulbs and ballast in stock and requires a full time maintenance crew to upkeep the lights. The new LED have an estimated lifespan of 8 to 10 years, meaning they will be virtually maintenance free for the life of the LED's. In addition, the LED lights use only about 10% of the electricity consumed by the older lights. Underwater LED boat lights from Shadow-Caster give you the same maintenance free longevity and low power consumption as Pekin's new LED streetlights. With 40,000 hours of maintenance free performance and extremely low power consumption, you'll be able to enjoy your night on the water without worrying about maintaining your lights or your battery.

Diamond Jo Shines With LED Lighting

Diamond Jo Casino in the Port of Dubuque,Iowa has replaced incandescent down lights in the casinos gaming floor, hallways, reception and meeting rooms with energy-efficient LED lighting. The 188,000 square foot casino has upgraded 750 of its existing down lights to LRP-38 LED lamps from Cree. The Cree lamps will last 35,000-50,000 hours, eliminating frequent bulb replacement and use only 11 watts of power instead of the 100 watts used by the original PAR-38 incandescent lamps. Diamond Jo Casino expects to save more than $46,000 in lighting costs a year along with an estimated savings of 60 hours a month in maintenance costs associated with replacing bulbs. Payback of the initial investment in LED lighting is expected to be one year. After that Diamond Jo Casino will reap an ongoing annual savings of nearly $70,000 for another 3 to 4 1/2 years.
Diamond Jo Casino is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it an excellent candidate for super efficient, long lasting LED lighting. LED lights may still to expensive for infrequently used fixtures and lamps. However, in areas where the lights are on for many hours a day, they can pay for themselves in a two years or less. They are also perfect for battery powered applications such as RV and underwater boat lights where conserving energy is a must.

LED's Light National Archives Doorway

The National Archives and Records Administration is replacing two 400w Metal Halide light fixtures that light the Constitution Avenue entrance with 129w LED flood light fixtures from Stouch Lighting of Aston, PA. The entrance leads to the room that once housed some of Americas greatest treasures including the Charters of Freedom, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The location of the light fixtures, in a high archway above the entrance, has always caused major headaches for maintenance crews. The new LED fixtures, with an 80,000 hour lifespan and 7 year warranty, will reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need to stock replacement bulbs and ballast, eliminate the need to rent specialized equipment to reach the fixtures and reducing the time maintenance crews will have to spend replacing the bulbs and ballast. Switching such hard to reach lights to long lasting, energy efficient LED flood lights will save US taxpayers thousands of dollars over there lifetime. Waterfront restaurant, and hotel owners can also save thousands of dollars on electricity and maintenance costs. Underwater LED dock lights will beautify your docks or seawall while improving safety for your guests. They use a fraction of the power of other light fixtures and require almost no maintenance for the life of the light.

Free Energy Saving Bulbs To NY Businesses

Free Energy Saving Bulbs To NY Businesses

Con Edison has entered into a non-exclusive agreement with Baltimore based Pro EcoSolutions, LLC to give away 100,000 energy saving bulbs to New York City businesses. "This agreement provides us with the incentives to be on the street in New York City, offering FREE energy saving bulbs to businesses." said John Romano, President of Pro EcoSolutions. Pro EcoSolutions will replace existing incandescent bulbs, subsidize the cost of lighting, and administer the installation. The bulb give away will help reducing carbon emissions and energy loads for Con Edison. I think Con Edison should be congratulated for this great program. You might not think an energy company would want to help businesses use less electricity, but it is a lot less expensive then building a new power plant. You can reduce your energy consumption by switching from older underwater lights to energy efficient underwater LED dock lights.
