LUXADD and the International Green Electricity Council are Joining Forces


Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

LUXADD and the International Green Energy Council (IGEC) are joining forces to spread the word about LUXADDs technology innovation and its energy saving potential in the area of linear fluorescent lighting retrofits – just in time for the T12 Lighting Phase-out. Starting July 2012, the Department of Energy (DOE) regulations will eliminate the most common T12 tubes. The replacement of 500 million T12 tubes will save the nation more than $ 10 billion in electricity.

Fluorescent lamps have become predominant for commercial and industrial lighting because of their superior energy efficiency and longer life compared to incandescent lights. Due to poor lumen foot-candle conversion and the high price point, LED is not yet the right product for linear commercial illuminations according to the DOE (Department of Energy). Unfortunately, most installed fluorescent T12 magnetic lighting system still waste at least 50% of input energy and uselessly heat up the environment. Newer lighting technologies like the T5 fluorescent tube can save up to 80% of lighting and air-conditioning energy. But new fixtures or ballast replacements are expensive and labor intense and many Government incentives have expired.

LUXADD holds a patent on the only retrofit technology that eliminates the entire transition process and makes retrofitting as simple as changing a light bulb with just one simple SNAP. This smart and provides the highest return on investment (ROI) in the market. The LUXADD Express T5 Retrofit Kit for T12 instantly lowers the energy bill up to 80% and reduces the carbon footprint by 60%.

We are the Nations only provider of a true labor free T12 to T5 retrofit solution made in the US for the US says Katrin M. Mehler, President of LUXADD LLC. It is our goal is to create new green jobs, promote a proper sustainable supply chain and ensure on site quality control. In the IGEC and Ralph Avallone we found the perfect partner to promote our mission.

It is amazing technologies like these that can put millions of Americans back to work, save businesses amazing amounts of money and if we were only to get behind companies like LUXADD, then we could restore Americas economy retrofitting one lighting fixture at a time while creating a better environment for our children proclaimed IGEC Secretary General, Ralph Avallone.

LUXADD LLC (http://www.luxadd.com) is a leading innovator in energy efficiency and conservation. LUXADD operates out of Miami and offers the only labor free retrofit solutions in linear fluorescent lighting that are tailor-made for the US and therefore provide the highest ROI in the market. Thriving for sustainability, LUXADDs products are made in the USA in effort to create new green jobs, promote a sustainable supply chain and ensure quality control. LUXADD instantly lowers the energy bill up to 80% and reduces the carbon footprint by 60%.The LUXADD technology has been available and used in Europe since 2001.

The International Green Energy Council – IGEC is an International advocacy association comprised of individuals and companies that promote “Green” (sustainable) forms of energy production, renewable energy sources, and sustainable design practices and advanced thinking in utilizing education and information for the promotion of being better stewards of our environment. The IGEC is comprised of renewable energy companies, developers, builders, material suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, lending institutions, utilities, installers, designers, manufacturers, engineers, inspectors, consultants and others involved in and out of the “green” community. If your company is interested in becoming a partner in this amazing new collaboration or if your company wishes to become a member of the IGEC please contact the International Green Energy Council at info(at)greenenergycouncil(dot)com

Exterior Architectural Lighting Products,Supplies & Photometric Lighting Design Services

By R. Neal

Exterior architectural lighting must compliment natural and architectural aesthetics with luminaires whose fixture designs reflect the geometric themes and subtle nuances of surrounding structures and landscapes. These luminaires must also operate with optimal efficiency and provide the same level of quality that purely functional site lighting fixtures and general lamping options deliver. It is important for your clients to realize from the inception of the consultation process that exterior architectural lights must anticipate stringent lighting control laws now taking effect across the nation. New LPW requirements, light pollution restrictions, and limitations on the actual lamps that can be used are becoming increasingly. What you propose to your client today must be able to withstand not only the forces of nature and time, but also the forces of change and legislation within human infrastructure and society. Creating an exterior architectural lighting system that is customized to the exact parameters of your client’s site with minimal maintenance, upgrades, and replacements is something we specialize in helping you do.

New LPW requirements, light pollution restrictions, and limitations on the actual lamps that can be used are becoming increasingly. What you propose to your client today must be able to withstand not only the forces of nature and time, but also the forces of change and legislation within human infrastructure and society. Creating an exterior architectural lighting system that is customized to the exact parameters of your client’s site with minimal maintenance, upgrades, and replacements is something we specialize in helping you do.

With proprietary, commercial lighting design software, we will input the data that you gather from any municipal, commercial, academic, government, or sports facility site and scientifically calculate the precise photometric requirements for optimal foot candle density and directional lighting control. These calculations are crucial to helping you develop a competitive and cost effective proposal your client will feel confident will meet their long term needs without future complications, expenditures, or mishaps. In essence, this equates to something of a “less is more” approach to fixture placement, as increased efficiency and efficacy in HID and LED outdoor lights now make it possible to get more lumens per watt from the average lamp, enabling us to illuminate larger areas than ever before with fewer physical fixtures and less obtrusive equipment.

This represents a huge competitive advantage to freelance electrical contractors and smaller design firms who normally lack the funding to invest in high-end development software packages and lack the manpower to engage in long-term collaborative design sessions with clients who know intuitively what they want, but lack the technical knowledge to spec out the details in a timely manner. RLLD Commercial Lighting experts will handle this phase of your proposal development for you by taking raw data you collect in reference to the size, nature, location, and usage of your client’s site and generating a point-by-point schematic of the entire exterior architectural lighting system.

As a general rule, we subdivide exterior architectural lighting systems into component elements that represent the specific operations and aesthetics of a site. This is necessary because different elements of site lighting often fall into overlapping categories of regulation. Parking lot lighting is a good example of this. Parking lot lights must meet the minimum foot candle requirements of the local municipality in which they are installed. They must simultaneously control their light output in such a fashion as to fully comply with local dark sky laws, and they must meet with wind load requirements mandated by higher levels of government. Commercial garage lighting requires an equal level of attention be paid to both vertical and horizontal foot candle density, and calculating this delicate balance requires either access to specialty software or a degree in high-level calculus. Building lights and landscape lights must keynote geometric forms and thematic patterns to be truly effective, and these as well must be both energy efficient and optimized for glare reduction and light pollution control to remain compliant with government mandates.

The key to developing a successful, overall architectural exterior lighting system here is to use only enough visible equipment to compliment the scenery without dominating its elements. Decorative fixtures should be visible, yet “low profile” in their positioning, and they must always bring more attention to the objects they light than they do their own appearance. By paying attention to this simple, but much understated fact in the world of lighting design, you will give yourself an enormous competitive advantage over rival bids that over emphasize equipment and miss the essence of precision design and true site enhancement.

Working with a design services hardware vendor like RLLD will give your business, no matter how large or small, access to resources few of your competitors can obtain, and save both you and your clients time, money, and hassle at the end of the day.
