Energy Wise Lighting makes a great product. Their lights are brighter than my old metal halides. The sensors turn the fixtures on and off instantly. There is no more waiting for the lights to come on and no more loud buzzing.

We are quite pleased with the results of the lighting retrofit done with the help of Energy Wise Lighting. The energy cost savings were even greater than our electric utility projected (by about 30%, based on two months' results). The fact that Energy Wise processed the paperwork for the utility rebates and the State Tax Credit made the process go smoothly with a minimum of administrative effort on our part.

In January of 2003 we installed 184 four lamp T5 high output fluorescent light fixtures and 2 two lamp T5 high output fluorescent light fixtures from Energy Wise Lighting, Inc. in our metal fabrication plant. We also retrofitted 8 four lamp T12's to T8's. We purchased the fixtures from Energy Wise Lighting, Inc. They handled all the paperwork for the utility rebates and state tax credits, which was very convenient for us.

Eugene Water and Electric Board estimated our annual savings at $8,792 per year from the new lights. Through the first three months after they were installed, February, March, and April, our electric bills dropped $6,264.71. At the current rate of savings, our new lights will save us almost three times as much as our utility said they would. We believe much of the additional savings are from the sensors which work wonderfully. At night, we know when someone is in an area where they don't belong. The sensors turn on and act as automatic security agents.

The colors of our powder coated products are truer under the new Energy Wise lights, and visibility is much better. The old metal halides lost a lot of light output over time. We haven't noticed any reduction of light output from the new lights and have not had any ballast or lamp failures.
We heartily recommend Energy Wise Lighting. They manufacture only energy efficient lights. It is rare these days when a company or product out performs promises. In this case both the company and the product over delivered on quality and energy savings.

In accordance with our discussion earlier this week, I commend your company as a reliable contractor for energy efficient technology development and application. Certainly our Overseas Buildings Operation Office concurs with this commendation of competency.

The Office of Facility Management Services thanks you for putting the Department in the forefront of agencies supporting the President's Energy Plan through the accomplishment of Energy Savings Performance Contracts with your firm. At the Beltsville Information Management Center. Beltsville, MD. and the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, Arlington, VA your efforts resulted in the installation of state-of-the-art electronic lighting and motor speed drives for not only great economic savings to the Government, but also for continued service and reliability due to diligent installation. The Department commends your diligence to "get it right" without a need for change order cost.

It's our further observation that your capability to figure out and configure electronics of proprietary systems to work satisfactorily with each other's systems supports the competency of your firm and mechanics.
In closing, good luck with your future ventures. Keep us abreast of future energy efficient technology.

In late March of this year we replaced our existing 460 watt metal halide lights with new Energy Wise four lamp T5's in all of our maintenance and storage areas. We were primarily interested in the energy savings, since we are a rural electric utility, and know quite well that we all face the prospect of higher electric costs in the future.

What became a pleasant surprise, however, was the better quality of Iight from the Energy Wise fixtures. Even though they only use half the energy, our work areas were quite a bit brighter. We have had no ballast or lamp failures to date. Another instantly noticeable improvement was the silent operation of the new T5's. They're quiet! The old metal halides buzzed constantly and they took forever to come on. Our new fixtures turn on instantly.

As a utility responsible for providing power to many homes and businesses in Oregon, we would not hesitate to recommend the T5HO technology or Energy Wise Lighting to our customers or anyone else interested in lower utility bills and a quality product.
