Join us in learning everything energy and lighting related, including safety practices, energy savings opportunities, exciting new products, and much more! Each video is around 3 minutes long and is designed to give you a brief overview of the topic at hand to help make your facility safe, energy efficient, and environmentally sound.
With the market for electric vehicles (EVs) growing and expected to grow over the next few years, the need for charging stations to support EVs will grow substantially. In a competitive market for loyal customers and labor, this is an innovative way to show customers, current employees, and future employees that your company prioritizes sustainability, embraces the future, and has their best interests in mind.
This month, Susan Witten explains what is fueling electric vehicle (EV) market growth, federal initiatives for EV charging stations, and considerations to think about before purchasing an EV charging station for your facility.
Are you currently using fluorescent lamps in your facility?
Have you considered changing your facility to LED tubes, but weren’t sure if you wanted to use LED tubes that run off a ballast or switch to line voltage?
This month, Susan Witten highlights the DUALescent™ LED T8 Universal Lamp by Sylvania, a versatile, energy-saving alternative to traditional fluorescent lamps. These lamps are engineered to operate on existing instant start and select program rapid start T8 ballasts or wired directly to line voltage for labor savings and reduction of recycling costs. These lamps can also replace fluorescent T12 lamps when operated as UL Type B, using line voltage.
The Industrial Solutions Expo is the perfect destination to find your next energy solution!
This event will be hosted in Louisville, KY (May 17-18) and Evansville, IN (May 24-25) and is free for our customers to attend. With a traditional show floor with over 60 vendor booths, 25 different technical sessions, and our hands-on labs, this is a great way to see new products and technologies to Unlock your Manufacturing Potential!
I will be hosting a technical session titled "Maximizing Green Initiatives featuring Eaton Green Motion EV Chargers!" Make sure to attend to see Eaton's full EV charging infrastructure portfolio, the financial and environmental benefits of energy saving upgrades such as LED lighting, and how to maximize rebates and tax incentive benefits for your energy saving upgrades!

With having an abundance of options to choose from, selecting the perfect LED fixture for your facility can be difficult. Each lighting application has different requirements and specifications, which can lead to having non-uniform lighting if you don't have versatile and customizable fixtures to meet these unique needs.
This month, Susan Witten unboxes two ValueLED™ Fixtures by Sylvania and displays why you want these versatile fixtures in your facility and storeroom!
UV Lighting is a great way to disinfect common surfaces, but the UV light can be harmful to humans and pets. How are you currently disinfecting your high-traffic surfaces? What if there was an easier way to protect yourself and those around you against harmful germs and bacteria?
This month, Susan Witten explains how LightShield Technology from Sylvania provides continuous purification for your everyday lighting needs without using harmful UV light through their proprietary coating.
Switching from fluorescent lighting to LED has many benefits you are likely aware of such as energy efficiency, productivity, and durability. Some of the benefits of LED lighting, such as health benefits, go "unseen."
This month, Susan Witten sheds some light on the health benefits that switching to LED lighting can provide to users such as reducing migraines and headaches, improving learning performance, and improving cognitive functions.
Did you know there are utility rebates available to qualifying industrial and commercial customers who make energy saving improvements to new and existing facilities?
Do you know what is eligible for rebate and the amounts you are eligible for?
Are you aware of the supporting documentation needed to receive these rebates?
This month, Susan Witten walks through the LG&E and KU utility rebates. Susan details the requirements for customer eligibility, the products that are eligible for rebate, and the amounts which customers of LG&E and KU can expect to receive.
Contact your Susan or your local CED representative to learn how cutting costs on energy consumption can lead to even more cost savings!
Are you aware of the tax deductions and cost savings available to facilities through the CARES Act?
Do you know how these tax deductions work or how to calculate your potential savings?
This month, Susan Witten provides a high-level overview of the CARES Act and what it means to facilities. Susan explains what is and isn't included in the Act, displays an example of the impact of the tax deductions, and explain why it is important to do facility upgrades now to take advantage of the available tax deductions and cost savings.
Does your facility require lighting fixtures to be wash-down rated?
Are you looking to consolidate your on-hand lighting inventory?
This month, Susan Witten showcases a new LED Vapor Tight lighting fixture by Sylvania. This fixture can save you up to 69% on energy costs and has selectable color temperature and lumen output, making this a great candidate to customize your lighting scene and reduce the amount of inventory you keep on-hand.
Most loads in modern electrical distribution systems are inductive such as motors, transformers, gaseous tube lighting ballasts, and induction furnaces. Inductive loads need a magnetic field to operate. Inductive loads require two kinds of current:
• Working power (kW) to perform the work of creating heat, light, motion, machine output, etc.
• Reactive power (kVAR) to sustain the magnetic field
Power factor is the ratio of working power to apparent power .It measures how effectively electrical power is being used. A high power factor signals efficient utilization of electrical power, while a low power factor indicates poor utilization of electrical power
Low power factor means you’re not fully utilizing the electrical power you’re paying for.
Would you like to have the ability to make your lighting scene brighter, darker, warmer, or cooler with a push of a button?
How much money in labor and installation costs could you save by reducing wiring?
This month, Susan Witten showcases some of ESL Vision's technologies such as easily-adjustable wattage and color temperature and wireless wall switches that make lighting upgrades easy, customizable, and can reduce labor and installation costs.
Are you having trouble customizing your lighting layout?
Are you looking to create a tailored lighting scene but have been unable to find a fixture with the customization options you need?
This month, Susan Witten demonstrates the many adjustable features of the RAB A17XFU outdoor light fixture that can customize your lighting layout to exactly what you envision.
Do you have old metal halide or fluorescent fixtures in your facility?
Are you aware that you could be THROWING AWAY money each month?
This month, Susan Witten walks through the many benefits of an LED Upgrade and the deliverables that come with a Lighting Audit. You will walk away with a report that shows many things, including your Return on Investment, how quickly the upgrade will pay for itself, and your Cost of Waiting per month. You will also receive a report detailing your Environmental Impact, showing you how many pounds of CO2 you reduce your annual output by.
Emergency illumination is defined as the emergency lighting within a building that is in place
to light the path of emergency egress when the normal supply of power is not available,
and it is a key component to the life safety system.
Are all Exits and paths of egress illuminated to 1 average foot candle at all times?
Are all Exit and Emergency lighting tested every 30 days?
Are all Exit signs fully illuminated?
Does all Emergency Lighting remain illuminated for at least 90 minutes?
Are there Exit signs present along the egress path, at doorways leading to an egress path, and at exits, placed to ensure that an exit sign is visible from no more than 100ft or the listed viewing distance of the exit sign?
