Our Processes
OUR PROCESSES DELIVER BETTER RESULTS
Exceptional lighting solutions don’t just happen. They’re the result of knowledge, experience, and the commitment to follow a process that doesn’t leave anything to chance.
Proprietary Evaluation Technique (PET)
Before we add a new product, service or supplier to our lineup, we put it through a rigorous evaluation.
The first step involves reviewing the products to determine if they hold up to their claims. This eliminates about 70% of the products that are available on the market today. It is also the reason we understand how companies can be exposed to tremendous risk by making the wrong decision.
After a company meets those criteria, we then examine the products to see that they meet recognized standards, like Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Energy Star, LM79 and LM80, US Department of Energy Standards and best practices. This eliminates another 25% of the products available on the market.
The next step is to better understand the company behind the products. In this phase we look for financial stability, patent rights, operational efficiency, warranty backing, insurance and financing. This eliminates about 3-4% of the remaining products.
The final 1-2% of the market is accepted to be a part of our solution. In many cases, we only carry specific products from a manufacturer’s line, giving us the ability to select and recommend only the best products for each application.
Evaluation and Consultation
We begin the process of determining your solution by conducting an energy audit. In this step we evaluate your current situation and provide our insights into the correct solution that minimizes your risk and maximizes your investment. The energy audit will help you understand the value you will be receiving from your conversion and the savings you will begin receiving as soon as the installation is complete.
