a longer life cycle than traditional fluorescents

The Property Manager, Felix Gonzalez, decided to contact U.S. energy efficiency consultant Bright Energy Services (BES) to help him meet the challenge. Bright Energy Services is no stranger to the YMCA of Greater New York. BES successfully upgraded the lighting in two major sections of the McBurney YMCA facility last year, and is currently in the process of retrofitting six more branches around the city.

BES performed a lighting audit and presented an energy analysis and a financial analysis to Gonzalez. Bonnie Hagen, COO of BES, recommended replacing the existing fluorescent, high-pressure sodium, and incandescent lamps with LED lamps. Hagen explained, "LED lighting has come a long way technologically and significantly reduces energy load, and therefore, energy expenses."Gonzalez reviewed the analysis and determined that, "With better light quality and a longer life cycle than traditional fluorescents, it just makes good financial sense to upgrade to LEDs." Dordy Jourdain, the branch Executive Director, agreed. "This energy savings project is aligned with our mission to improve health and well-being,” Jourdain explained. “Reducing our energy load helps to reduce emissions, creating a better environment globally." He gave the go-ahead for the proposed retrofit, and the project was commenced.


BES selected the best LED products to use for the facility as well as the installation team. R.B. Evans of Aleddra LED Lighting supplied EasiRetrofit LED T8 lamps for the project. "This innovative LED linear light tube only uses 50% of the energy of the existing lamps while meeting the most current UL standards, putting the Aleddra EasiRetrofit LED T8 in a class of its own," Evans explained.Bright Energy Services managed the project from start to finish, coming in on time and on budget.
