RMS Machine-Parking Lot Lighting Retrofit
|
|
RMS Machine, in Minneapolis, has 24 light poles in their parking lot with 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium Shoebox Fixtures. With an average life of 20,000 hours, the 400 watt high pressure sodium lamps required regular maintenance using a bucket truck or lift with a significant cost associated with each lamp or ballast replacement. RMS Machine was already purchasing it's inside lighting supplies from Premier Lighting when they requested a proposal to replace the 400 watt high pressure sodium fixtures with an energy, and equally as important, maintenance saving option.
 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium 130 Watt LED Premier Lighting provided a proposal replacing the (24) 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium Fixtures, one to one, with a 130 Watt LED Shoebox Fixtures with Hi-Flux LEDs and more than 60,000 hour rated life. The LED fixtures provided a 5% increase in footcandle levels and much brighter light based on scopotic light versus photopic light. Scotopic light is a more accurate measurement of light in low light situations and the 5500 Kelvin color increases the lumens compared to the lower Kevin color (2700K) of the high pressure sodium lamps, for more information on photopic and scotopic comparisons, click here. Other advantages of the LED fixtures include; 72% energy savings, maintenance savings at an estimated $750/year and higher lumen maintenance (higher light levels) over the life of the fixture. The project also qualified for a rebate from the utility company which saved 15% on the total cost of the project and a payback of 4 years. If you have an outdoor lighting project with parking lot lights, flood lights or wall packs and would like a detailed report showing energy and maintenance savings please contact Premier Lighting to set up an on-site visit from one of our Lighting and Energy Consultants.

Light Fights
|
|
In our last post we introduced our new "Light Fights" blog series where we'll spend the next several weeks comparing competing lighting technologies and seeing which ones come out the "winners" in their most commonly used applications. The two types of lights in today's arena are LED and HID. LEDs have gotten a great deal of attention lately, but do they really have what it takes to outperform the tried-and-true favorites in the HID category? Let's find out... ... read more

Flag Day, Friday, June 14, 2013
| |  Light up the Flag
Federal law stipulates many aspects of flag etiquette. Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions: - The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.
- The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use.
- The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
- The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
- The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
- The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
- The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it.
- The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
- When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.
- The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.
- When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.
