LED Lighting is pretty dang cool


Sure, we may be a little biased.

But you have to admit, they are pretty sweet.

the Benefits of energy efficient led lights

Sure, commercial LED Lighting will make your business brighter and look more cutting edge. They'll also... 

  • ...save on cooling your business. The average 2x4 fluorescent troffer puts off about a human body's worth of heat. Multiply that by the amount of lights in that particular office along with the humans occupying said office and that's quite a bit of heat! Energy efficient LED lighting puts off very little to no heat. 

  • ...be a much healthier light. Yep, LEDs are actually healthier for your employees. Studies have shown that sick time decreases while productivity increases when a working environment was converted to energy efficient LED lighting. They were certainly beneficial for cows and milk production at a dairy farm in Michigan. (click for article)

  • ...be a better quality of light. The Color Rendering and Quality are better than Fluorescent or CFL, plus they're dimmable.

  • ...be merch sensitive. They do not produce harmful U/V or fade merchandise in your display area. Car dealership? Fluorescents have been shown to zap the batteries in the cars on your showroom floor even if they're disconnected. Plus they make the new models look AH-mazing.  

  • ...be more resistant to breakage. Have to contend with varying temperatures and environments? Bring it on. Plus on the rare occasion that they do bust, they're not filled with hazardous gas! 

  • ...cut costs on your lighting maintenance budget. LEDs have a 50,000+ hour average  lifespan. Extreme low maintenance + Typical lifespan of ten plus years = No need to change bulbs as often.

Reach out   

First things first, let us know that you're tired of paying an exorbitant electric bill by calling 931-674-1411 or by emailing us. We'll ask you some brief questions and setup a time for us to get together for your free TVA energy audit

Energy audit

This is where we come to your business to start counting your lights and assessing what kind of bulbs you're currently using. We get really excited when you are using those big ol' 450-1000 watters. That means we're going to be able to save you a TON of money!

Solution  

We will get together once more to go over your custom solution to retrofit and install your new commercial LED lights. We will go over the breakdown of the pricing and financing, the rebates you will receive from the TVA and the tax incentives after the installation is complete.  

Installation

Our licensed and insured contractors will install your LED lights around your schedule. We leave your space as good as when we found it.

Just much better lit and less expensive to run. 

Warranty

The good thing about our commercial LED lighting products is that they come with 5-10 year warranties. If you have a bulb or two go out for whatever reason during that time, call us and we'll get them replaced at no cost to you!

lowering bills, one client at a time

Below are a few of our clients who have seen the light. Pun intended. Sort of.


Exotic Cars Demand Lighting

The Pain: Dim lighting doesn't do much for $100,000+ cars when you're trying to sell them online.

The Solution: Deck the showroom of Velocity Motorcars with BDL's Quickstrip LEDs at 5k color temp. Now his cars pop off the photo and create more engagement for sales.

Side Benefits: Brian's utility bill at the dealership is now lower than his house. Plus he's seen a lift in monthly sales now that his super cars have the best lighting.

 

A Well-Lit Congregation

The Pain: All but a few of Grace United Methodist Church's parking lot lights were out resulting in significant dark areas and potential safety issues.

The Solution: After performing a comprehensive TVA Energy Audit and securing financing from Pathway Lending, GUMC moved forward with  complete High Performance LED Lighting system.

Annual Lighting Energy Savings $9500

Incentive: $4980  

Side Benefits: Consistent color temperature along with brighter classrooms. 

 

Energy Savings Gains

The Pain: The 400 watt metal halide fixtures that lit the 4000 square foot space were hot. Combine that with members who generated higher than normal body heat and you have quite a cost to cool the space.

The Solution: We conducted an energy audit that showed a 66% lighting energy savings after retrofitting the fixtures with 120 watt LED lamps. 

Annual Lighting Energy Savings: $6217

Incentive: $1255

Side Benefits: Anytime Fitness is now able to cool the gym using only one A/C unit instead of the two they were using. Plus the lights now come on instantly instead having to wait for them to warm up like they did with the metal halide bulbs.
