SMART Bi-Level Parking Garage Fixture by EverLast®
Selected For Lighting Near Major Shopping Malls
JACKSON,
MICHIGAN – June 27, 2012 – The Heights at Eastwood located in Lansing,
Michigan, features over sixty upscale fashion retailers, home furnishing shops,
and a variety of dining opportunities for its Lansing community. This year Eastwood underwent a major
expansion and amid inviting gathering spots, broad sidewalks and attractive
landscaping, visitors will notice that their shopping and dining experiences
are enhanced as a result of entirely new lighting.
Steve Hayward, the Executive Director of Lansing
Township's DDA, partnered with Wesco Distributing, West Michigan Lighting, and
Superior Electric of Lansing to complete this effort. The overall occupant response to the recent
lighting install was very positive.
“This was a new construction job so there were several
different criteria that had to be taken into consideration in regards to
lighting. Originally, the expansion was
specified with the Limelight System.
That system is not practical, not cost effective, and not that energy
efficient,” commented Deborah Perkins, Sales Representative of West Michigan
Lighting. “We selected the EverLast® SMART
fixtures because of performance, energy savings, ease of the control, warranty,
and the fact that it was U.S. – Michigan Made.”
Superior Electric installed over 300 EverLast® Bi-Level
Parking Garage fixtures in the Heights at Eastwood. The U.S. Made Parking Garage Fixture utilizes
enhanced optics, improving fixture efficiency 30% and increasing overall light
distribution by 35%. In addition, the EverLast® Parking Garage Fixture
incorporates SMART Bi-Level technology, stepping down the fixtures to 40% when
the area is vacant for a set length of time, and then steps back up upon
occupancy. This technology creates the perfect lighting necessary for improved
pedestrian safety in parking facilities, and energy efficiency for the building
the fixtures occupy.
“Wesco is a premier provider
of electrical, construction and general MRO products and is recognized as one
of the largest, most responsive distributors in the electrical industry. In order maintain our reputation; we only
select the absolute best products on the market,” stated Troy Trimbach,
Lighting Specialist of Wesco Distributing.
“We chose
EverLast® for this job simply because they provide
an energy efficient alternative over HID.
Performance, life expectancy, and warranty are additional incentives our
experienced lighting experts immediately recognized.”
"The primary reasons that we chose to go with
EverLast® were energy efficiency, and light distribution. Throughout the process we had compared the
EverLast® fixtures to 3 or 4 dozen different types of fixtures with WESCO on
the site. Even though some fixtures were cheaper, the overall efficiency
coupled with the bi-level sensor satisfied all of the needs of our facility
making it an easy decision. The
aesthetics of the EverLast® fixtures help give the Heights an entirely new
feel, in addition to energy savings and lowered maintenance costs,” commented
Hayward.
