LEaDing the way on lighting efficiency

In our weekly property management team huddles, we have a periodic forum for hearing from a vendor with a new idea, new approach, new way to add value.  We want to hear from them, because everything we do is about adding value.  Property value.  For us it's not just adding value in the abstract, it's about adding real value to a real property.

So that's why we scheduled a visit from a local electrical contractor last week who wanted to tell us about how they can retrofit lighting fixtures with LED's.  That may sound simple, you can buy screw in LED's at Home Depot, right?  Right.  Think about this though:  what is the predominant fixture in an office building?  It is not a screw in bulb, it's a fluorescent tube.  And in many office buildings the predominant lighting is a T-12 fluorescent fixture, which is now obsolete, and those bulbs have officially gone the way of the dinosaur.  They are no longer being made, and are becoming scarce. So, think again about how nice it would be if you could retrofit that obsolete tube with LED and a minimum of fuss and muss?

That's what these guys are offering, and we are interested.  We are very interested.  We may just LEaD the way!
