LED Wall Mounts Shed Light on Parking Area

Employees at Washington Marine Cleaning in Everett, WA, have a brighter parking area and more security with the addition of 600 lumen, 14W LED wall mounts offered by e-conolight.

“We were in such need of outside lighting,” said Gary Baldwin, a company manager. “Now the security outside the building is much better.”

Washington Marine Cleaning provides cleaning services primarily for commercial marine and industrial applications. Crews often arrive to work before the sun has fully risen and leave after dark so having reliable lighting for greater safety and security was a priority.

Baldwin said he likes the wall mounts because of the way they broadcast light, the photocells work great and they look good, too.

“The lights do what they say they’re going to do in the descriptions,” he added. “What more can you ask?”

In addition to saving Washington Marine operation costs, the wall mounts also saved some money up front by being less expensive than other brands listed with the local electric utility’s rebate program.

"Even without the rebate, ordering from e-conolight was the better way to go," Baldwin confirmed.

6-Lamp Linears: Best-Selling for a Reason

Lighting large spaces with bright light that doesn’t break the bank is possible with best-selling 6-lamp linear fluorescents offered by e-conolight.

E-conolight offers a five-year warranty on fixtures and electrical components; tiered pricing, so buying more is saving more; specular reflectors that increase flexibility; and factory-installed lamps that save time in the field.

Standard features include :

• ·         High-efficiency MIRO 4™ specular reflector for medium distribution
• ·         White-painted reflector for wide distribution
• ·         Lamps are 32W premium GE® lamps
• ·         120-277V instant start GE® UltraMax® High Efficiency ballast
• ·         Two wire-form hangers for mounting

6-lamp linears with specular reflectors are comparable to 400W PSMH high bay, and those with white reflectors can replace 400W PSMH low bay. Typical mounting height is between 25 and 45 feet for T5HO lamps and between 15 and 35 feet for T8 lamps, depending on the reflector.

All T5HO and T8 lamps are TCLP compliant.

6-lamp linear fluorescents start at $125.90 but can be as low as $82.90.

MR16 Micro Cylinders Keep the Party Going After Dark

Homeowners in Richfield, OH, who enjoy outdoor entertaining often turn to Rzonca Construction to design and build their patios, decks and pergolas. Dave Rzonca turns to MR16 12V micro-cylinders offered by e-conolight to provide the right amount of light to keep the party going after the sun goes down. 

Because Rzonca and his crews specialize in outdoor spaces that are used during the day and at night, he needs a cost-effective lighting solution for his customers that is also unobtrusive. 

Rzonca said he uses the micro-cylinders as part of every overhead or shade structure he builds because they fit nicely in the joints of overhead structures. Customers are happy with them as well.

"Customers like the way they look," he added. "The micro-cylinders provide the right amount of light at a low voltage for a reasonable price."

Dave Rzonca installed a white MR16 12V micro-cylinder
underneath this shade structure. 

The micro-cylinders are UL listed for wet locations so Rzonca also uses them as uplighting for statues.

“The micro-cylinders are easy to use and throw a lot of light for the price,” he said. “It’s hard to find outdoor lights for less than $50 each, so these are great.”

The lights come in either black or white, so they can be used in a variety of settings. Rzonca said he has installed approximately 300 micro-cylinders over the years as part of almost every patio, deck, pergola and pavilion project.

LED Sconces Available in Nick of Time for Monastery

California electrician Mike Muha was on the hunt for the perfect sconces to install in the pool area of a monastery when e-conolight started carrying a line of decorative sconces at a lower price than he’d been able to find. 

“They came out just in time,” he said. “I’d spec’d out something else, but they were too much money. These were exactly what I needed.”

Muha’s crew from Pure Electric installed a total of three sconces in the nun’s pool area of the Monastery of Perpetual Adoration in San Francisco. He said the feedback he’s received has all been positive.

“Everybody loves (the lights),” he added. “The guys on the job were asking where I got them, but more importantly, the nuns and the people who care for them really are happy.”

Not only do the sconces provide the right amount of light at the right tone, Muha said the design and quality construction are also pluses.

“It has a simple, clean look so it will fit in almost anywhere,” he continued. “The quality of the piece is also evident.”

Consider the price point – units start at just $49.90 – and the lack of regular maintenance other than routine cleaning, and Muha said decorative sconces offered by e-conolight are a best buy for him.

Utility customers in Connecticut who upgrade their lighting to more energy efficient fixtures can reap rewards on both their energy bills and through rebate incentives.

Connecticut Light & Power and United Illuminating both offer significant rebates for reducing wattages by at least 10 percent. Taking advantage of this program is as easy as filling out a form.

The form and instructions are easily accessible through an online PDF that can be filled out on a computer and then printed. UI customers should take note that an additional UI Substitute W9 is required and can be found at www.uinet.com/hvac.

Section I: Customer Facility Information is the project information, where you fill in your customer's information. Every box must be filled out in order for the rebate form to receive consideration.

Section II: Enter your information, filling out every box with the applicable information.

Section III: Check the appropriate box for where the rebate/credit should go; to your customer; to you; or applied as a credit on your customer's electric account.

Section IV: One side of the table is dedicated to your project's current lighting scheme while the other side of the table needs to include all available information about the new lighting scheme you're installing. The measure code can be found on page 3 of the form. THERE MUST BE AT LEAST A 10% WATTAGE REDUCTION FOR EACH FIXTURE FOR THE REBATE TO APPLY.

In addition to the rebate form, contractors/customers need to mail a copy of the invoice for the project as well as their e-conolight receipt. The rebate form requires a customer's signature (this could be either the contractor or the customer's if they are placing the order themselves).

LED Directional Floodlight Welcomes Residents Home

Neighbors who live in the new Charleston subdivision in Boise, ID, receive a warm welcome every time they come home. Signs at each of the five entrances are illuminated by LED directional floodlights offered by e-conolight.

Each entrance to the subdivision features a sign with surrounding landscaping and two LED directional floodlights angled just right to light up the signs at night.

“There are multiple signs with the LEDs,” lead electrician Justin Metcalf, of Full Spectrum Services, said. “I’m really pleased with the result.”

Metcalf said he also appreciates the design of the fixtures because of how quickly they were installed.

“These lights were very easy to install, and speed is important because saving time means saving money for our customer,” he added.

But, most importantly, Metcalf said the quality of the light is just what the project needs.

"The light is great," he continued. "The LEDs light up the signs spectacularly."

DLC and ENERGY STAR: Why Qualification Matters

If you’ve been shopping e-conolight for any amount of time, chances are you’ve encountered the DLC and ENERGY STAR badges on a few products. But … do you know what they mean?

Both the DLC and ENERGY STAR badges help customers identify quality and long-lasting products for commercial (DLC) and residential (ENERGY STAR) applications.

DLC (Design Lights Consortium) is well-known in commercial circles for lighting products primarily used outside. 

Receiving the DLC certification is not an easy process; benchmarks for quality are tough to meet, and only items that go through rigorous third-party testing to meet those marks get qualified. For example, many fixtures must operate at 70 percent lumen maintenance or above for a minimum of 50,000 hours and offer a five-year warranty.

Customers who choose DLC-certified light fixtures for their commercial application are also eligible for utility rebates in many states.* 

ENERGY STAR rates indoor residential items including lighting and appliances.

Products that qualify for the ENERGY STAR badge are also tested by approved third-party facilities. Those that meet ENERGY STAR standards for pollution reduction and increased energy cost savings receive the distinctive blue badge.

Residential customers can also take advantage of utility company rebates in several states when they purchase ENERGY STAR appliances for their homes.*
