EverLast® Lighting Exceeds Specification Standards, and Is Used In Military
Lighting Upgrade
JACKSON, MICHIGAN – May 1st, 2013 – Andersen Air
Force base, located in United States territory of Guam, is one of four Bomber
Forward Operating Locations in the Air Force.
These locations provide forward support to bomber crews deploying
overseas in Europe, Southwest Asia and in the Pacific. As the U.S. Military is the single largest consumer
of energy in the world, the base began searching for options to reduce energy
consumption and immediately recognized lighting efficiency as the quickest
means to do so.
In the summer of 2012, the U.S. Air Force cooperatively
worked with GreenTech of Ventura and Kenclaire West of Fresno, California to
seek out a commercial lighting solution that would meet their facility codes
while improving illumination, and significantly lowering energy costs. “GreenTech teaches our clients about actions
their business can take to save money in areas of energy and lighting. We help
discover financial resources, like rebates and grants to implement energy
efficient lighting,” Dan Grumney, President of GreenTech. “In our experience, we find military
organizations often selecting EverLast® for installation based on warranty,
lifespan, and the fact that the fixtures meet the "Buy American” requirement
for the U.S. Military.”
When it came time to implement a high-efficiency street
lighting initiative, officials at the base selected EverLast® street and area
induction lights. In late 2012, Andersen
Air Force Base moved forward with the advanced lighting fixtures and replaced two
hundred and fourteen 250 watt high pressure sodium fixtures with 150 watt
EverLast® Daytona Cobra Head fixtures along the main roads of the base. “The EverLast® Daytona Cobra Head is the ideal
energy efficient roadway lighting solution that provides a more natural and
high color rendition light quality unlike traditional high pressure sodium
fixtures,” Grumney explained.
EverLast® induction light fixtures are 50-70% more energy
efficient than metal halides and last up to 100,000 hours, making them
virtually maintenance free for up to 15 years. The induction lighting fixtures are also
available with a dimmable option, providing even more energy savings while
areas are vacant. “The U.S. Government
continues to select EverLast® because we meet, and exceed the U.S. Made
requirements,” explained Bryan Schultz, Regional Sales Manager of EverLast®
Lighting, Inc. “We’ve also been able to
reduce energy consumption at other military bases such as Fort Drum in New
York, and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.”
