Alternate Energy Source, of Landing NJ; provided a brand new
lighting retrofit technology.
Luxadd installs in just a snap in exchange for old T12
tubes. Existing fixtures can stay in place, and no wiring or labor is
performed. The retrofit places a new fixture
(snap in kit) and T5 fluorescent lamp, with brighter light output, and cutting
62% of the old energy costs.
Luxadd has been
introduced to NJ Clean Energy program, several other State and Federal
Agencies; and also as a new innovative product that is competing in New Jersey
Technology Demo Day, Aug 8th in Asbury Park.
“We are so happy to assist our community church in cutting
energy costs “, said Tanja Lewit President of AlternateEsource.com. It is a new technology that allows for
instant reduction in costs and takes the time and effort of changing a light
bulb. The church could not afford to rip out fixtures, or pay for costly labor.
At this time, this is the only product in the market today that allows for
retrofitting old T12 and T8 fluorescent tubes to new T5 technology, brighter
light, with absolutely no labor or down time at all.
Basically by retrofitting the existing, it’s like having new
lighting fixtures throughout.
Brady Crouch, one of the young volunteers that helped in the
install said, “it was so easy, just open up the covers, remove the old tube and
place in the Luxadd retrofit with new T5. It really made the room brighter”.
Kathy Barger, office manager in the rectory sent a formal
Thank You. “It is people like you that make a difference and we appreciate it”
she stated, “we want to say Thank you for the new lighting and I feel I can see
again!”
A before and after study will provide for the exact savings
of energy use, and will be provided to the church.
