Why Should You Upgrade To LED Lighting?

75%-90% energy savings over incandescent, halogen, HID and fluorescent fixtures.

ZERO MONEY DOWN!! That's right we can upgrade your lighting to LED and you don't have to spend $1. Ask us how we can help you upgrade without spending $1.

LED bulbs consume 80% less energy when compared to incandescent light bulbs.

Maintenance Cost Avoidance (MCA) is minimum 5 years and can be as long at 15 years with our Best In Class LED fixtures having 200,000 hours life expectancy and a 10 year warranty.

 

Tax Deductions are available for upgrading to LED fixtures, the

EPAct 179D may allow your business a significant tax deduction.



LED fixtures contain no harmful mercury and use less energy and produce higher light output.

Overview

The Safety Source LLC, an innovative Safety and LED lighting company, undertook a comprehensive LED retrofit upgrade for their client Piston Automotive. This project involved replacing various outdated fluorescent and metal halide fixtures with high-efficiency LED fixtures across different sections of Piston Automotive's facilities.

Project Objectives

  1. Reduce Energy Consumption: Significantly cut down on energy usage through the installation of efficient LED lighting. Implement network lighting and occupancy sensors.
  2.  
  3. Improve Lighting Quality: Enhance the overall lighting quality within Piston Automotive's facilities.
  4.  
  5. Environmental Impact: Lower the carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption.

Results

  1. Overall Energy Savings: TThe project achieved a 65% reduction in energy use across various lighting applications, with occupancy sensors helping to minimize energy consumption in low-traffic areas.
  2.  
  3. Improved Lighting Quality: Switching to LED fixtures significantly improved lighting quality, enhancing visibility and comfort, and more than doubling light quality in some areas.
  4.  
  5. Cost Savings: The energy savings translated into $204,003.32 in annual energy cost savings for Piston Automotive. Additionally, annual maintenance costs were reduced by $30,127.83, leading to total savings of $1,073,767.74 over five years.
  6.  
  7. Environmental Impact: The project contributed to a notable reduction in Piston Automotive's carbon footprint.
