Lighting Maintenance Orange County

Re: Lighting Maintenance Orange County.  Who should you call for your lighting maintenance Orange County?  Horizon Lighting, of course! Because of the loyalty of our amazing customers, we have outgrown our Orange County facility and have moved into a much larger location in Irvine, California. This will allow us to even better serve your needs for lighting maintenance Orange County, as well as lighting upgrades, LED lighting, ultra sonic pole testing, infrared panel inspections, lighting design and installation on new construction, electrical lighting repair and service, commercial lighting, HOA lighting and so much more!

As mentioned, we now offer preventative maintenance services such as Ultra Sonic Pole Testing and Infrared Panel Inspection.  Ultra Sonic Pole Testing uses special equipment to determine the poles integrity from the inside out.  A pole that might appear in good condition on the outside could be deteriorating from the inside out and in danger of falling over.  We will provide you with a full report after inspection rating each pole so that you may determine which are in need of immediate replacement, which can wait, and those that are still in good condition.

Another new technology we are utilizing to help with preventative maintenance and reducing your risk of liability is Infrared Panel Inspections.  Infrared Panel Inspections are an ideal method for inspecting electrical service equipment for defective components, poor connections, and overloaded circuits.  The most effective way to maintain an electrical system is to detect any potential electrical failures and take corrective action that will prevent any interruption of normal system operation.  An Infrared Panel Inspection is the perfect tool for your electrical predictive maintenance program.

So, give us a call for your lighting maintenance Orange County and for all of your other lighting and electrical needs.  You’ll be glad you did.

Induction Lighting

Induction lighting is growing in popularity as an alternative to LED lighting for the budget conscious as it is about a third of the cost of LED lighting.  Induction lighting is an electrodeless lamp. A light source in which the power required to generate light is transferred from outside the lamp envelope to inside via electromagnetic fields.  Eliminating electrodes extends the life of the lamp due to the fact that electrodes are in large part the limiting factor in a lamps life.  At a 2,000 hour comparison, a 200 watt induction lamp has a greater lumen output than a 400 watt metal halide, or high pressure sodium lamp. Induction lighting produces very little heat and has an “instant-on” and hot re-strike, unlike most conventional lamps used in commercial-industrial lighting applications (such as mercury-vapor lamps, sodium-vapor lamps and metal halide lamps).   Induction lighting has excellent color rendition and does not flicker.  Induction Lighting can be used in any application that conventional lighting is used, such as…

●             Street Pole Lighting

●             Recessed Lighting

●             Wall Pack Lighting

●             High Bay Lighting

●             Garage Lighting

●             Carport Lighting

●             Bollard Lighting

And more…

Other benefits include a longer lifespan – between 65,000 and 100,000 hours depending on the lamp model and a cost savings of 35%-55% in energy costs for induction lighting as compared to other types of commercial/industrial lamps.  The maintenance costs are also very low due to the longevity of the lamp.  There is minimal mercury content meaning disposal of lamps is safe and easy.  Some might say that induction lighting is the industry’s best kept secret.  We would love to discuss with you the many benefits of induction lighting.

Please give us a call to speak with one of our representatives today! (877) Horizon

LED Downlights

LED can save 80% over incandescent lamps and have a lifespan of 50,000 hours. Installation is a breeze.  LED Downlights keep the lighting directed to a specific area whereas, fluorescent and incandescent lights emit light and heat in all directions which is far more costly and far less efficient.  LED downlights are a revolution in the history of down lighting.  An incandescent, or compact fluorescent bulb inside of a recessed can will waste approximately half of the light that it produces, while recessed LED Downlights produce light only where it’s intended.  LED Downlights have become much more affordable than they were a few years back because there are more manufacturers today which mean more product availability and as a result competitive rates.  There are many different types of LED Downlights available.

LED stands for light emitting diodes. LED Downlights come on instantly when turned on.  They do not flicker when dimmed.  The quality of color is excellent unlike those harsh fluorescent lights.  LED Downlights are ultra durable with a lifespan of 50,000 hours.  There is no UV radiation. They are 100% eco-friendly and recyclable.  The movement of electrons through a semiconductor material illuminates the tiny lights sources known as LEDs.  LEDs are cool to the touch.  LED Downlighting is very easily installed and can be placed into existing recessed canned lighting, which makes a retrofit easy and convenient.

The main reasons for making the switch are:  Energy savings, energy efficiency, and longevity and cost savings.  Not to mention that they are easier on the eye and more aesthetically pleasing than the other options available. LED lighting is the way of the future.

Give us a call and let us discuss with you further the advantages to switching to LED Downlights.  We’d also be happy to meet you onsite and prepare a proposal for you.

T12 Retrofit to T8

If you are still using T12 fluorescent lamps and ballasts it is time to schedule a T12 retrofit to T8.

If you haven’t already heard, the T12 fluorescent lamp systems are being phased out.  The T12 lamp has unfortunately become outdated and is far less energy efficient than the T8.  There is good news however! After the T12 retrofit to T8, you will receive energy savings as high as 45% with a 1 to 3 year payback.

Because manufacturers will be phasing out production of T12 lamps, costs will increase due to limited availability.  Production costs for Fluorescent lamps are on the rise due to the shortage of rare earth phosphors.  95% of all rare earth minerals needed for fluorescent lamps are produced in China. Their cost has increased approximately 300% in the last few months with costs expected to increase further in the next several years. All the more reason to schedule your T12 retrofit to T8 today.  The longer you wait the more expensive it will get.

What lamps are affected by the phase out?

● T12 4 foot and 2 foot U-lamps with medium b-pin bases.

- Majority of F40 and 34T12 lamps and all FB40 and FB34T12 U-Lamps.

- Exempt 2 foot lamps need to meet DOE requirement of 84 Lumens per watt.

- Exempt 4 foot lamps need to pass DOE requirement of 89 Lumens per watt.

● T12 8 foot Slimline with single pin bases.

- All 75 W F96T12 lamps.

- All 60 W F96T12/ES except for the 800 Series.

● T12 8 foot 800 mA HO with RDC bases.

- All 110 W F96T12 HO lamps.

- All W F96T12/ES/HO lamps.

Here’s another interesting statistic that might help with your decision to schedule a T12 retrofit to T8.  Approximately 30% of the entire stock of fluorescent lamps sold in the United States are currently using the T12 technology.  70% of all T12 fluorescent lamps will be phased out by July 2012.  Some rebates are still available.

Please call us to schedule your T12 retrofit to T8 today! (949) 336-4336

Ultrasonic Pole Inspection

Ultrasonic Pole Inspection?  What is an Ultrasonic Pole Inspection?  An Ultrasonic Pole Inspection utilizes the latest technology to determine a poles condition from the inside out.  With age, poles begin to rust and corrode from the inside which cannot be seen during a visual inspection.  This could potentially have disastrous and costly results.   Moisture forms inside the pole that most often winds up at the pole’s base, causing multiple safety hazards.   Rusted light poles increase liability and can be a real safety concern.  Can you imagine if a pole falls on vehicles, property, or even a person?

An Ultrasonic Pole Inspection will determine the unknown by looking inside the pole with state of the art digital measuring equipment.  During our inspection, we can determine the amount of damage due to corrosion and rust within your light poles.  We will measure the thickness of the metal which determines whether the poles structural integrity has been compromised.  Let us find out if a pole should be replaced before it falls!  Poles that are inspected will be cleaned of any loose rust, dirt and debris and coated with rust inhibitor, slowing down the rust process from the outside of the light pole.  You will be provided with a full Ultrasonic Pole Inspection report which will include individual pole readings, pole data, maintenance concerns, recommendations, and more.  If there are any poles on your properties that are over two years old, we highly recommend that these poles be inspected and tested to keep all tenants and visitors safe.  The average cost to replace a pole after it’s fallen is three times the cost to replace it before it falls, not including property damage and liability costs.

Give us a call to schedule your Ultrasonic Pole Inspection today!  You’ll be glad you did. (949) 336-4336

Switch to the Astronomic Time Clock!

With the battery back-up Astronomic Time Clock, you won’t be left in the dark.

It’s that time of year again.  Time to Spring forward.  This can be a busy time for managers as it means scheduling time clock changes at numerous properties.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a time clock that reset itself for the time change?  Well, it just so happens that there is.  It’s called an Astronomic Time Clock.  The Astronomic Time Clock adjusts automatically for Daylight Savings.  Set it once and it remains set for the next 50 years.  Additionally, your lights will power up on schedule once power is restored in the event of loss of power.  It keeps time digitally to the second even keeping accurate time after a power outage.  Each timer has a lockable enclosure to protect from vandalism and tampering.   The 7-Day Astronomic Time Clock features 7-Day programming to provide flexibility for applications where load switching differs each day of the week.  The program can be repeated on a weekly basis. Astronomic programming can be combined with independent programs to provide a sunset ON and timed OFF program.  The batteries are easily replaced in the field. Save your communities and commercial properties time and money by avoiding emergency calls to reset timers after a loss of power. We’d be happy to discuss with you all of the advantages of switching to the Astronomic Time Clock.

Right now, for a limited time only, we would like to offer you FREE LABOR on the installation of a new Astronomic Time Clock. That means all you will need to pay for is the timer itself.  We think this is an offer you can’t refuse! If you are currently using a standard time clock, you will need to schedule a technician to come out to reset it.  Why not use that time to replace your old time clock with the new Astronomic Timer..."Labor On Us"?  Give us a call today to schedule your “switch”!  (949) 336-4336

LED Lighting

LED lighting is just about the hottest thing going in terms of lighting today.

LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes. The LED bulb is an energy efficient bulb saving 90% in energy.  One bulb can last upwards of 60,000 hours and beyond, whereas incandescent lamps last about 1,000 hours each. The cost is roughly $14.99 per bulb for LED Lighting as opposed to $40.20 (60 bulbs at .67 cents each) for the same life span in incandescent lamps. The electrical usage for LED Lighting over a 60,000 period is 78,000 KWh.  For incandescent it’s 36,000,000 kWh.  LED Lighting can be used outdoors for landscaping, or sidewalk lighting, indoors for household lighting, in and around pools and spas (underwater) and they come in many different colors.  The energy savings is the same for colored bulbs, or white bulbs.  LED lighting is also great for commercial and business applications and can save your company money.  They can be used in the interior and on the exterior of buildings and to light pathways and parking areas.  All LED Lighting products screw into standard sockets.  They also are cooler to the touch and generate very little heat.  Florescent lamps contain mercury which is a danger to health and the environment.  There is no filament in LED Lighting which can easily break and need replacement costing the consumer dollars.  LED is easier on the human eye than harsh fluorescents.  They do not flicker and are solid state control. LED Lighting is lead free, as well.  LED saves in labor costs for bulb replacements especially for large properties that have many outages often.  LED bulbs are plastic which will not shatter and cause a mess and possible injuries to people and pets.

As you can see, it’s no wonder LED lighting is the hottest thing on the market and we’re just getting started telling you all of the reasons why.
