You may have seen that we recently published a new website services page, Requests for Proposals, or RFPs. This is not a new service offering for us at Stouch Lighting, but its uptick in popularity, as far as generating and responding to RFPs, prompted us to create the page to provide customers and potential customers with the guidance they need to understand how we can help with RFPs. (This is similar to our new Value Engineering services page, which we also debuted in conjunction with this blog post defining the sometimes confusing term.)

Here's the boring definition of value engineering: value engineering is a creative approach that evaluates a variety of product options on a lighting project and provides the most appropriate alternate product options to meet or exceed budget expectations while still achieving the desired project criteria.

So you’ve made the decision to do an LED lighting retrofit at your facility, reviewed various proposals, and are now ready to make the final decision. It may seem tempting to go with the proposal that suggests staggering the implementation of your lighting retrofit, with the key benefit being reduced upfront investment. In this post, we’ll go through the various reasons for why staggering implementation is not the answer, and the better solutions we’d recommend.

LEDs are a simple invention with huge potential to change the lighting industry for the better. Don’t know much about them? Here are three big things you need to know to get your feet under you:
LED stands for light-emitting diode.
A diode is an electrical device or component with two electrodes (an anode and a cathode) through which electricity flows - characteristically in only one direction (in through the anode and out through the cathode). Diodes are generally made from semi-conductive materials such as silicon or selenium - substances that conduct electricity in some circumstances and not in others (e.g. at certain voltages, current levels, or light intensities).

Real estate organizations in the area beginning to realize the benefits of transitioning buildings, parking lots, and area lighting to LED technology. Below we will share a few pictures and results from various applications that have benefitted real estate organizations and businesses by improving lighting quality, increasing energy efficiency, decreasing maintenance, and improving the overall aesthetic of a place. Did you even know that LED wall pack lights and LED pole lights could accomplish all that for your organization? Read below and learn more!

Conrail is a terminal and switching service provider that operates in New Jersey, Detroit, and Philadelphia. They aim to provide high quality rail service that is safe, reliable, and fast. To help them achieve these goals, Stouch Lighting recently completed an LED retrofit for Conrail that had great results. Conrail had two primary goals: to improve the illumination under an overpass, and to reduce maintenance costs associated with high bay lighting. Let’s discuss how LED lighting technology can address these two concerns.

Stouch Lighting is happy to announce the recent completion of an LED conversion for RJ Waters and Associates, a commercial real estate development company based in Southeast Pennsylvania. The Company manages more than 2.4 million square feet of retail space in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Delaware, and maintains relationships with more than 350 tenants. RJ Waters and Associates is one of the premier commercial real estate development companies on the east coast, and they take great pride in maintaining properties for the benefit of tenants, consumers, and visitors alike.
For this particular project, Stouch Lighting completed an LED pole lights retrofit at the Oak Springs Shopping Center in Warrenton, Virginia. Let’s learn more!

LED lighting technology is fast replacing conventional lighting solutions, and for good reason, too. LEDs produce higher quality light, are more cost- and energy-efficient, and require far less maintenance than their conventional lighting counterparts (but more on all these benefits later). Like many things in life, the first step to solving a lighting problem is to acknowledge that there IS one. With that in mind, do any of these lighting problems sound familiar to you?

Would you know an LED conversion if you saw one? What are the benefits of completing an LED retrofit anyway? What type of organization is best suited for the switch? Stouch Lighting is a manufacturer-neutral LED lighting distributor providing LED lighting solutions across a national footprint, and we wanted to showcase some of the projects we’ve recently completed in the greater Philadelphia area. In this way, you can learn a little about why LED technology outperforms conventional lighting in important ways, as well as understanding the significant benefits that come with a lighting retrofit. We’ll discuss three main metrics in which LED lighting solutions surpass the competition, and you’ll learn how other Philadelphia organizations have fared after conversion. Let’s get started!
