Multi-Family energy conservation Most people feel they have cut their

budget as much as possible. There simply is no other cutting available

Did you know that by meeting the 2005 Legislative Ruling to use more energy efficient lighting you can actually reduce your overall energy bill ~35%

Did you know that with a little education and learning about lighting alternatives, you will be in a position to make informed decisions, ecoWise decisions

Did you know that some Local, State and Federal Government and local Utilities offer tax incentives and rebates for using more energy efficient bulbs?

Multi-Family energy conservation

How would feel when returning home after dark and your Common Areas are all so well lit, you feel as safe as in full

daylight?

How great is it knowing you won’t incur any maintenance time or expense replacing LED bulbs because of their long life?

Does it excite you that new generations of lighting allow dimmers and different colors of lighting and design that costs

80% or more LESS than incandescent lights?

LIGHT, what is it?Light or visible light is the portion of electromagnetic radiation

that is visible to the human eye, responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light has a wavelength in a range from about 380 or 400 nanometres to about 760 or 780 nm,[1] with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz. In physics, the term light often comprises the adjacent radiation regions of infrared (at lower frequencies) and ultraviolet (at higher), not visible to the human eye.[2][3]

Primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization, while its speed, about 300,000,000 meters per second (300,000 kilometers per second) in a vacuum, is one of the fundamental constants of nature.

Light, which is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as the wave–particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

SECURE LIGHTING Securing the areas where your patrons rely upon your services is wise.

There is a serious improvement in lighting, safety and bottom line expenses.

What is the COST to power up the lighting?

What is the value of reduced theft, damage and accidents?

What is the value of increasing patronage because of feeling safer?

Peace of mind and increased revenue; what a concept!

Federal GovernmentAs quoted in the Wall Street Journal May 16, 2011 …

“However, 60-watt bulbs are the big prize, since they're the most common. There are 425 million incandescent light bulbs in the 60-watt range in use in the U.S. today, said Zia Eftekhar, the head of Philips' North American lighting division. The energy savings that could be realized by replacing them with 10-watt LED bulbs is staggering.

To stimulate LED development, the federal government has instituted a $10 million "L Prize" for an energy-efficient replacement for the 60-watt bulb. Philips is so far the only entrant in testing, and Eftekhar expects the company to win it soon. But Lighting Sciences Group plans its own entry, which it will demonstrate at the trade show.”

The 100 watt light bulb was banned in California 1/1/2011 and has already shown substantial reduction to the load on the Utility companies and a reduction in lighting expense.

Referencing FORBES, “Next year the federal government begins the phaseout of traditional incandescent light bulbs, giving us yet another enlightening example of politicians short-circuiting free markets. The 100-watt bulb will be banned on New Year's Day, and all the rest by 2014.”

The poison truth about CFL’s Quoted in FORBES:

“… Some household uses approximate these ideal conditions. Most do not. For example, if you turn a light on and off a lot, such as a bathroom light, you will save very little electricity because CFLs use a lot of electricity to start up. Second, CFLs tend not to last as long as advertised. Therefore, you end up replacing CFLs before they have achieved the savings needed to make up the [cost] difference [of the old-fashioned bulb].“

There's an even bigger problem: mercury, a poison. Heaven help you if you break one of these things. The EPA has numerous instructions on what you're supposed to do when this happens.
