Sierra Vista Hospital in San Louis Obispo, California Selects Induction Lighting

Parking Garage Expects to Reduce Consumption 60 to 80 Percent with EverLast® Bi-Level Technology 

 

JACKSON, MICHIGAN – March 26th, 2013 – “It’s actually pretty amazing.  The hospital employees are now parking their cars in the parking garage at night because of the new lighting,” commented Joe Romero, Representative of California Electric Supply.  In the summer of 2012, the San Louis Obispo, California hospital reached out to California Electric Supply and Greentech of Ventura to complete a lighting upgrade that would significantly improve security in the parking garage and lower energy consumption. 

  

“We selected the EverLast® Davenport garage fixture because of the enhanced optics, natural color rendition, and adaptive lighting controls,” commented Dan Grumney, President of Greentech.  “The fixture not only meets the facility specifications, but is an excellent energy efficient solution to lower costs and improve security in the parking structure”. 

 

In October, Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center moved forward with the advanced lighting fixtures and replaced 98 high pressure sodium 150 watt fixtures one for one with 70 watt EverLast® Bi-Level Davenport garage fixtures.  The SMART Bi-Level technology integrated into the EverLast® fixtures steps down the energy use in the hospital parking garage to 40% power when areas are vacant for a set length of time allowing the facility to achieve between 60-80% energy savings over the existing fixtures.  Representatives from Greentech estimate an energy savings of over $76,000 over the life of the fixtures.  “The Davenport Bi-Level garage fixture has been a landmark product in the EverLast® line since its origination. Above and beyond the obvious advantages; a U.S. Made, energy efficient, SMART - controllable, Induction unit, it comes backed by a 10 year warranty,” stated Brandon Marken, Vice President of Sales for EverLast® Lighting.

In addition, there are virtually no maintenance costs for up to 10 years on the EverLast® fixtures offering the lowest lifetime cost of any light source on the market and the fastest ROI.  The fixture was developed from a partnership with the California Lighting Technology Center and has been utilized in other parking garages across the United States.  “Bi-Level lighting technologies for parking lots and parking structures is one of the most effective strategies for deep energy savings as well as for the potential to enhance safety and security,” said Professor Michael Siminovitch, Director of the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC).

Installations of the EverLast® Davenport Garage fixture have also included Whole Foods locations, the University of California Davis in Davis, California, City owned parking garages in Sacramento, California, Capitol Park Plaza in Washington, D.C., and City owned parking garages in Davenport, Iowa.

Planet Fitness Selects Induction Light Fixtures across National Locations

EverLast® Lighting Lowers Energy Consumption, Improves Aesthetics and Security at Fitness Centers

 

JACKSON, MICHIGAN – March 5th, 2013 – Planet Fitness Inc., based in Newington, New Hampshire, is an American franchise consisting of 500 fitness centers across the United States.  Each center features exercise equipment, and personal trainers for the members benefit.  In addition, the brand markets itself as a “Judgement Free Zone” to enhance member experience.  Over the past year, the national fitness franchise identified a need for a massive lighting overhaul at several of the U.S. locations.  In an effort to increase energy efficiency, aesthetics, and security at multiple Planet Fitness locations, the franchise relied on EverLast® and several Lighting Representative Firms to provide lighting solutions that would meet each facility’s specification process.

“When we started looking for a commercial lighting solution for the Planet Fitness stores in Indiana and Kentucky, the deciding factors were quick ROI, lifetime warranty, longer lamp life, and lowered maintenance costs,” commented Edward Patsey, Representative of John Patsey Sales in Somerset, Kentucky.  “The stores that we have completed were exceptionally pleased with the induction lighting solution.”

The EverLast® induction lighting fixtures provide a more natural and high color rendition light quality unlike traditional metal halide fixtures.  In addition, the fixtures come with a 10 year warranty and are also available with a dimmable option, providing even more energy savings while areas are vacant.  

“When Planet Fitness worked with our firm they were very interested in an efficient lighting fixture that would be aesthetically pleasing to their guests.  In addition they were looking for an energy efficient option that was comparable to LED, but had a longer lamp life and fewer failure rates,” stated Dan Clements, Representative of Applied Lighting Concepts in Jacksonville, Florida.  “Applied Lighting Concepts is dedicated to customer satisfaction, and EverLast® met and exceeded all of the guidelines that Planet Fitness required for a lighting upgrade at the Jacksonville, and Miami, Florida locations.”

As a result, Planet Fitness, Inc. moved forward on lighting installations with EverLast® fixtures over the span of 2012 at their locations Sterling Heights, Michigan, Bay City, Michigan, Warwick, Rhode Island, Evansville, Indiana, Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Harrisonburg, Virginia, two in Jacksonville, Florida, and Miami, Florida.  Each installation included 200 watt Huron Aluminum high bay, 200 watt Houghton Aluminum low bay models from EverLast® product line for building interiors.

“Planet Fitness continues to select EverLast® high bay fixtures for their facility lighting requirements.  This is directly tied to performance technology derived by EverLast® U.S. manufacturing delivering higher efficiency per watt when compared to other induction lighting solutions,” commented Ryan Miller, Representative of Atlantech.
