Emergency lighting installations for LED made simple.  If you install LED lighting in federal or state buildings, you have been stuck with expensive lighting options when trying to upgrade facilities to LED and stay compliant with the national emergency code.  Green Lighting LED’s LED micro inverter can be easily field installed with LED fixtures or tubes, keeping facilities up to code without the hefty costs associated with competitive products.

LED Emergency Micro Inverter for factory and field installation

Product Highlights:

• National Electric Code / UL / cUL compliance – GLL-EBS-20 is tested by UL and certified for both factory and field installation.
• Power any UL listed LED tube or fixture, up to 25W load, for 90 minutes.
• Buy American ARRA Compliant – American engineered and manufactured.
• Polymer Lithium-Ion Battery Technology – The latest in battery technology provides longer cycle life, high energy density, zero memory effect, environmentally friendly with extremely high safety and reliability.

Green Lighting LED proudly manufactures, in the USA, its GLL-EBS-20 Emergency Lighting Micro Inverter.  The inverter is used in conjunction with an LED fixture to create a code compliant emergency lighting fixture.  The maximum load of the GLL-EBS-20 is 25 watts.  In the event of a power failure, the micro inverter begins to provide full emergency power to the connected load for a minimum of 90 minutes.

Never be caught in the dark on LED emergency lighting again.  Green Lighting LED offers private labeling and OEM level pricing for all types of emergency LED fixture designs.  Whether factory or field installing, Green Lighting LED provides an inexpensive, quality American manufactured product to the lighting marketplace.

How do you choose the right LED model to retrofit HID fixtures?  How do you know X watt of LED really equals 400 watt of HID?  You need to spec the right wattage, the right product, every time.  Follow these easy steps to spec the right product every time and close more projects faster with each decision maker.

LED retrofit kits replace HID and HPS lamps, but how do you chose the right model?

3 Simple Steps to Compare & Spec LED to HID Metal Halide

1. Mean lumens of HID* x Efficiency of Fixture** = Effective Lumens
2. Match HID fixture effective lumens with LED retrofit kit or fixture
3. Select the matching LED retrofit kit and quote your customer

3 Simple Steps to Compare & Spec LED to HPS High Pressure Sodium

1. Mean lumens of HPS* x Efficiency of Fixture** x 0.38 for perceived lumens = Effective (Perceived) Lumens
2. Match HPS fixture effective lumens with LED retrofit kit or fixture
3. Select the matching LED retrofit kit and quote your customer

Example: 250 Watt HID high bay project

250W HID = 21,250lm x 0.65 (mean lumen calculation) x 0.65 fixture efficiency = 8,978 effective lumens per fixture

Our 80 Watt LED Retrofit Kit matches perfectly to replace this 250W HID for this example.

Note: Mean lumens vary per manufacturer and each fixture has a unique efficiency value.  While many people use somewhere between .6~.7 efficiency for high bays and .65 to .7 for shoebox fixtures – much higher efficiency reflectors exist.  The above is only an example and exact data is available with each respective fixture.

For many lighting projects, specking the right LED retrofit solution replacing metal halide HID is this simple.  For more detailed comparisons, Green Lighting LED has IES files and can run photometric layouts as a free service for any energy saving project.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. We have all heard that old saying a time or two…right?
Well, how about this one? It looks like a bridge and acts like a bridge, it is just a bridge. Ok may be you haven’t heard that one before. But the citizens of the City of Pawtucket Rhode Island have.
During the 19th century, Pawtucket’s Slater’s Mill marked the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the bridge spanning the river became a commercial thoroughfare. Last built in 1958 the Pawtucket Bridge was becoming a safety hazard.
The people of Pawtucket wanted to do more than create a linkage over a relatively narrow New England waterway. They wanted to convey and showcase the series of extraordinary events that for centuries converged at this very spot.
From hand-hewn covered bridges to steel and concrete marvels, Rhode Islanders have long expressed pride in bridges and regard them as iconic structures.
Local and state officials worked with several companies in collaboration to build a structure that was more than just a means to allow drivers to cross the Pawtucket River on Rte. 95.
The new bridge is a beacon for Pawtucket blending with the city’s historic landscape and features enhanced lighting.
One of the brightest features of the Pawtucket River Bridge is the use of LED lighting. The obvious attention surrounding the LED lighting deals with the design aspects. The LED lighting enhances the look of the bridge and is easily changeable. Additionally there are many practical advantages of LED lighting over conventional lighting in this application and all forms of industrial, commercial and home lighting. LED lighting is much more efficient and last longer. LED lighting is eco-friendly because they do not emit any toxins or harmful UV radiation. They are flexible, durable and work well in all temperatures making LED lights a great choice for most traditional and design oriented projects.
The Pawtucket River Bridge project earned the 2013 AIA RI Honor Award for Urban Design and the 2014 Illuminating Engineering Society Award of Merit and has received other recognition throughout the world.  You can learn more about this project at http://bit.ly/1ziWGiK

Tomorrow is Valentines Day.   I know, I know.  Valentines Day is one of those holidays you either love or you ….. well …. dis-like immensely (the “H” word is kind of strong … or may be it isn’t … but that is a whole different conversation).

I happen to love any reason to decorate.

Even if it is a mushy over rated holiday.

My favorite …. yep you guessed it. Novelty! I love decorating and re-arranging and re-decorating and re-arranging and well … you get the picture.

Nothing in life is free, except for LED light bulbs manufactured by Green Lighting LED.  Why pay for light bulbs when you don’t have to?!  Are you a small business located in Hawaii?  Would you like free, energy efficient LED light bulbs at your facility?

From now until June 9^th, small businesses across Hawaii can receive free light bulbs manufactured by Green Lighting LED.  Inefficient halogen, incandescent or compact fluorescent lamps can all be changed out to Energy Star lamps manufactured and assembled in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Energy Star LED lamps manufactured by Green Lighting LED.

Hawaii is the most oil dependent state in America and as a result they have the nation’s highest energy prices.  As prices continue to rise, so does the cost of doing business. On the bright side, however, energy is a controllable cost and efficient technologies can help ease the burden. While the cost of lighting alone can drain your business of energy and profit, environmentally friendly retrofits can dramatically mitigate the cost.

5 Reasons Your St. Patrick’s Day Outfit is 5x Better With LEDs

I bet you’re Irish through your mother’s, sister’s cousin-in-law today, right?  Time to celebrate that heritage!  LED lighting revolutionized how we celebrate the little leprechaun inside all of us.  Ten years ago we still had green beer, and rivers ran green…but guess what?! LED lights made this fun filled day brighter and better.  Not only do LEDs make the Empire State Building and the Pyramids Irish for a day, they also make your holiday excursion outfit tops in our books.

Our Top 5:

1.     
Make your hair green this year with LEDs.  Dying your hair green is a decision you enjoy for a day and regret for a month.

Enough already.  Stop dying your hair and making your blonde mass turn puke green for a month.  Odds are you’ll have been exposed to enough puke already if your evening decisions match your hair.  LED wigs look way cooler anyways (literally, right?  Incandescent wigs caused as many house fires as candle Christmas trees).  People will want to share your LED hair and you’ll light up the night.  (LEDs are cooler to the touch)

2.       Bow ties needed something spicy to mix it up. 

Let’s face reality – the bow tie is a dying breed.  If it wasn’t for Bill Nye the Science Guy, they might already be extinct.  LEDs just gave your green bow tie longer life and hope.   Now, you show up looking dapper and modern.  Tuxedo tee shirt is optional.  (LEDs last longer)

Green St. Patrick’s Day glasses will help you see better at night!

3.       Google glass still doesn’t come with an illuminated, flashing green version.  Forget green tinted glasses that get propped up on the top of your head when the sun sets.  And forget Google Glass that won’t make you the light of the party.  Plus, these glasses cost way less than Google Glass.  It’s time to put on some LED shades for the day.  You’ll be able to tell your friends about how much money you saved by switching to LED glasses instead of Google Glass.  (LEDs save you $)

4.       You might not make it back home with the same grace you left.  Whether making a tour of your local downtown or drinking from the fountain of youth at a friend’s, you might not return home with the same zip and zeal you had when you left.  While I’m sure you’ve never stumbled, fumbled, misplaced, or danced an Irish jig around a bush outside…while we’re quite sure you’ve chosen each of these items because of your responsible (and in no way outlandish) behavior.  Just in case you trip over that piece of sidewalk that came out of nowhere – you might get scraped up, but the lights will keep on shining!  (LEDs are durable)

5.       This Guy:  

Just imagine, this could be you!

So before you leave your house this afternoon, thank your lucky stars for LED lighting and how our green technology makes this holiday light up better than ever.  Be sure to send us pictures of your St. Patrick’s Day outfits that use LEDs.  You might just make our follow up blog post and FB Page!

Green Lighting LED offers all of its distributors 0% financing for 6 months on all stock orders and project sales.

Time is money.  Don’t pay for stocked product sitting on the shelf.  Don’t pay for product and wait …30…60…90…120+ days to see cash from the customer.  Our 0% financing options help contractors and distributors keep positive cash flow while selling LED lighting solutions to their customers.

Option 1: Financing to Stock – LED Lighting Inventory

Stocking inventory is expensive and hurts cash flow.  In the commercial market, competition is high and lots of products are flooding the marketplace.  Companies need to sell LED lights and fixtures to stay competitive in the lighting industry.  Still, stocking fixtures, lamps or light bulbs to service customers takes an investment returned only when product sells.

Option 2: Financing to Sell – LED Lighting for Project

Contractors and distributors often find themselves caught with negative cash flow for 3~6 months after they sell a lighting project.  On a $50,000 project, manufacturers often charge a down payment and require full payment within 30 days.  It may take that time for the LED lights to be installed and another 30~60 days to receive payment from the customer ONLY IF there are no delays.

Most lighting contractors and distributors wait 90~120 days from start to finish on an LED lighting project for payment.  Many times, these companies have paid for the product waiting for delivery, installation, and final customer payment before finally getting paid.

Green Lighting LED makes selling LED lighting easy for contractors and distributors with 0% financing for 6 months for all stocked inventory and project sales.

Our innovative 6 Month 0% Interest Dealer LED Inventory & Project Program:

• 6 months 0% interest financing
• One advance payment (first month + $150 document fee)
• Minimum order is $10,000
• Maximum order is $200,000
• Principle payoffs are not required as equipment is sold through cash or lease
• This program can be used also for dealer lines of credit

For an example, distributor X orders $20,000 of inventory OR contractor Y orders $20,000 of LED lights and fixtures for a project.  The monthly payment would be $3,333.33 a month for 6 months.  The advanced payment would be $3,483.33.  At the end of the term, there would be a $1 buyout.

By offering simple and interest free financing for customer projects, Green Lighting LED makes selling LED lighting solutions easy for its distributors.  Green Lighting LED designs, develops, and manufactures quality LED products.

Financing LED Projects to Help Manage Energy Costs in Warehouses

Warehouses across the USA use 7.6 kilowatt hours per square foot annually.  That adds up to over 20,000Btu of natural gas every square foot of warehousing space.  Not surprisingly, lighting and heat account for 76% percent of this total.  This all adds up to a large carbon footprint and high costs for the companies utilizing the space.  In fact, an estimated 15-20% of warehousing total costs come from energy.

That’s 20% not from workers, not from equipment, but from energy.  Imagine being able to cut those costs to increase your bottom line.  LED lighting offers a clear solution.  Typically, an LED fixture will save warehouses 60~75% on their lighting consumption.  That’s just on the lighting, but cool running LEDs will also assist with refrigeration costs on certain kinds of warehouses.

It all sounds good until you look at the costs.  LED fixtures being used to replace fluorescent or high bay fixtures cost a pretty penny.  Everyone business owner would want to lower costs on the next energy bill, but not every business has thousands and thousands to invest in new light fixtures.  Sure the payback and ROI are there (and can be calculated using our LED Energy Savings Calculator), but who has that kind of cash up front?

Green Lighting LED both recognizes the problem and has a strategy to solve it for our distributors.  We offer their customers complete project financing.  This includes the cost of installation.  With low interest rates, quick approvals, and easy lease to own options ranging from 12-60 months – transitioning to LED lighting has never been easier.

On your next warehousing project, consider offering your customers complete project financing from Green Lighting LED.  Why pay for new light fixtures when you can let the new light fixtures pay for themselves?

LED project financing from Green Lighting LED provides a solution.
