Wall mount UPS for emergency lighting needs

2015-05-17T11:38:00.002-04:00

Of course you can buy those giant alien bug eye lights as an emergency lighting in your location. But if you want your existing lighting fixtures (LED, hi hats, or specialty fixture) to have battery backup lighting... you need an inline UPS

Years ago we made the PowerTower, which supplied battery lighting to customer's stairwell LED lighting system.

But what about smaller applications?

Consider the APC Smart UPS 413H wallmount hardwired battery backup, exclusively from GreenLightUPS.

It has hardwire inputs and ouputs and fits nicely in a meter room.

No more I sleep.

2015-05-16T22:00:00.000-04:00

Anyway since No More I Sleep... we have had lots of innovations including

Portable Battery Systems - This company commissioned us to make their lithium ion portable battery system. It looks great and the first few have rolled off our lab.

The O Series Keeps Growing... Mobile Online UPSes for less

2015-03-08T21:20:00.000-04:00

Designed to meet the needs of our customers that wanted long run-time in a single unit that was mobile.

We begin with APC's Smart-UPS On-Line unit that provide high density, true double-conversion on-line power protection.

Then add extended run cabinets, transformers and or bypasses to complete the unit. Next we fuse the cabinets and add high quality heavy duty castors.

Why do we do it....? Because APC doesn't make the Online units with wheels, nor do they offer enough runtime for machinery or equipment.

The latest Oseries to roll off.... 3kva 200v with 1 XR Cabinet... 393g4eo

Options for replacing the APC Matrix 5000 units

2015-03-03T21:40:00.000-05:00

Do you have a Matrix 5000 and need to finally upgrade it to something this century?

Oddly enough, there is still nothing that delivers the awesome power and full features of the APC Matrix UPS.

Some of the most important features

Split Phase 120/240 and 120v, 208v, 240v outputs
48VDC Battery bus (especially if your batts are still good)
Charger capable of charging 17280vah of batteries (4 x SmartCell XR sets)
L630 Input
Isolation Transformer

Some suggestions include the APC Smart RT XLP Unit (593p4), but that requires a L1430P input and still has that 192v DC bus and no isolation transformer.

Another idea is the APC SmartUPS RT TF3 (593g4s). Here we have the L630P input and outputs like the matrix, and even the isolation transformer, but still the lousy 192vDC limits

You could go to a Symmetra LX 8kva, which has nearly endless runtime, but the inputs are wrong and still no isolation transformer.

So what do do?

Our best solution is a APC Smart UPS XL TF3 (595bs). This unit is a 5kva Smart UPS XL line-interactive, tranformer-based unit with a isolation transformer. It has the right inputs and outputs, plus the transformer and has a nice 48vdc bus, which can run off your old Smartcell units. Plus we even have tower and rack mount options for it.

This is an offline unit, so you need to call us to order...

Symmetra RM for Subpanel? APC says no.. GreenLight Says YES

2015-03-02T22:15:00.000-05:00

Can you use a APC Symmetra RM system to power a Subpanel?

Not if you buying direct from APC.... This is because the Symmetra RM is a transformer-free unit and doesn't have a true fixed neutral. You need a good neutral to properly energize a panel. The RM will never get a true L to N 120v even with a stepdown transformer.

But at GreenLight Labs we put together a RM Subpanel friendly unit for you. We even have a cute roll around cart for it.

The SYRM6S is the subpanel ready Symmetra RM unit with full 6kva output in a split phase design. Use it to power the subpanel or super condition your equipment or instruments. We even include a physical bypass switch.

Look for it at the store soon, but for now ask for it by name..

Save Big with our Z Bezels on the SURTA 2U units...

2015-03-01T19:43:00.000-05:00

As many of you know, face-plates are very precious to APC end users. Since APC rarely if ever sells replacement parts, its a constant battle to deliver units with original faceplates.

In most cases we must go to China and pay thousands to get another injection mold done and run a crazy amount of bezels. While the SUA 2U have warranted that volume, the little SURTA 2U have not.

So we went with our friends at MirArt Acrylics and had them make a low run bezel for these units.... Any they look great!

Because of this innovation, we can sell these units for about $100 less than the ones with the rare bezel.

So check out of Z Bezel Page and see the savings.

Redundancy in Rack Systems

2015-02-28T15:38:00.001-05:00

Recently, we have selling several systems where people are ordering 2 of everything. 2 UPSes, 2 network cards and 2 XR battery packs

While we love selling them, we are worried that people are taking the double redundancy thing a bit far. By duplicating everything, your server rack gets overly congested and complicated.

A/B redundancy is good, but buying a Symmetra RM with internal redundancy is better and CHEAPER.

The Symmetra RM is a 6kva system with built in redundancy with control, battery and power modules in a N+1 design. This means if one module fails, instantly the other one assumes control with no loss of power.

Learn more with our onesheet here and compare our $3000 Symmetra RM system with the dual 6kva system for $4300.

Our New Dark Side Postcard

2015-02-22T20:57:00.005-05:00

Does one ever go through all their marketing materials, before another idea causes them to re-do everything.

We here at GreenLightUPS, gone are the soft-core "How Big is Your Need" postcards and now the "Midnight Lighting Storm" cards are out.

You'll see them in the new Thank You packs and on your windshield if you park at the Wednesday Night Swap Shop Horror Night watching B movies.

First time available at GreenLightUPS

2015-02-02T15:26:00.000-05:00

Small compact 3phase units are becoming more popular as modern blade servers require more and more power in a tight frame.

The HP R8000/3 Series is a high quality UPS based on Eaton's BladeUPS design. Designed to provide local power to a high-density rack, the HP3896 is a great 6U ups units.

However, GreenLightUPS customers may appreciate this unit since it can offer 3phase power in a tight footprint.

The only downside is that the output is a L15-30R instead the more common L21-30R. This means that the unit is not ready for panel connection or other systems that need a dedicated neutral.

We sold our first one recently and we included a nice little cart for the unit roll around on. We are excited to have these little guys in stock.

5PX Products Arrive

2015-02-01T15:15:00.003-05:00

Eaton's latest line interactive units, the 5PX series is starting to come to the refurbished marketplace.

The Eaton 5PX Rack/Tower UPS with a next-generation intuitive LCD display, energy consumption metering down to the outlet group level, and up to 99% efficiency, the 5PX is the perfect UPS to protect modern IT equipment.

I like a few things about the 5PX. They have great yield (1440watts @ 1500va) and the simple rack/tower switch is a nice touch. Plus having all models extended run (even if they bring back the dreaded 5start connector cable) is great. Finally, keeping the 3kva at 72volt now makes it an attractive option compared the 120vdc rating of the APC XL series.

GreenLightUPS has several models in stock: 30000va, 1500va and New models as well.

FirstLightUPS Service Options

2015-01-15T23:54:00.003-05:00

Many people are starting to take advantage of FirstLightUPS affordable UPS delivery.

Instead of shipping UPS units with FedEx Express or UPS Priority Freight, FirstLightUPS uses Air Cargo to a major airport and then local Courier for the final few miles.

Our FirstLight services gets the product to your local airport within 24hrs for you to pickup. Or we can have a courier pick it up and arrange deliver that same day.

FirstLightUPS also offers AirGroundPlus service to remote locations far from the Airport. Her we ship it to the airport and then have UPS ground pickup and deliver your item usually the next day. As an example we offered a customer in St George UT (2+ hrs from a major airport) AirGroundPlus service. His 70lbs SUA1500RM2U unit would arrive in 2 days instead of 7 days for just $140 in shipping. The rate for traditional FedEx 2 day were $430.

This savings can be tremendous. Look at this week's savings. Traditional express services would have been hundreds more

200lbs to San Fran for $200 FirstLight
170lbs to Jamacia for $345 Next Day
70lbs to Monteagle TN for $98 AirGroundPlus
144lbs to NYC for $117 Next Day

The Sale that Never Was.... SUA2200 S&D for $339

2015-01-13T23:06:00.000-05:00

I guess it started when yours truly, started barking that we have so many SUA2200s towers, but not a single one i could quickly sell and ship out one evening. So many were missing bottom covers, had dents, and small cracks. As I recall, I took nearly 10 out before i found one that could work on quickly.

So the Scratch & Dent Sale was set up for these guys. We took photographs, redid the website and built a Mail Chimp spam email. Then Super Salesman Nick.. called a few customers ahead of time and hours before the new campaign to start, we got an order for 10.

Sale Closed...

but we still have 1 more.... $339

Holiday Surges

2014-12-22T21:23:00.001-05:00

Its Xmas time here at greenlightups, and we have seen lots of surges.

The first type of surge is Bad.... As we have reports from 2 clients that they have lost equipment because of electrical transient Surges this week. While we sell UPSes, we also sell and install surge protection. We have models from $99. Don't wait until it's too late.

Surge 2 is the rush of holiday orders we are getting. We did not expect so many people would want lumps of lead in their stockings. We will be working like Santa'S elves to meet this surge.

Surge 3 is the increasing need for units to have peak capacity to power printers or equipment. We call this a peak or surge rating. If you have a piece of equipment that has a motor... Call us a free sizing. Don't surge your unit
