Revolution Lighting Technologies (RVLT)

SIMI VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lighting manufacturer Seesmart has released a new 15-watt LED tube lamp that sets a new industry standard for energy efficiency and light output.

“We believe this is the T8 LED product that many customers have been waiting for.”

The new product from Seesmart, a subsidiary of Revolution Technologies, Inc., produces a measured efficacy of 112 lumens per watt. With more than 1,700 lumens of light, the lamp is the industry’s most efficient four-foot LED T8 lamp, utilizing the lowest wattage and generating the highest light output available.

The UL-listed LED tube lamps present a cost-effective, energy-saving LED lighting solution that delivers great light and a rapid return on investment.

“Our latest 15-watt LED tube lamps offer a new paradigm of efficiency and convenience for solid-state lighting installations,” said Ray Sjolseth, director of engineering for Seesmart. “We believe this is the T8 LED product that many customers have been waiting for.”

The Seesmart LED tube features rotatable end caps that allow easily customized lighting angles by rotating the tube. Unlike typical LED tube lamps, the lightweight LED tubes also feature a true T8 profile with a specially designed internal power supply that distributes the weight equally at both ends. The power supply is carefully designed for high-efficiency, resulting in a high power factor and a low total harmonic distortion (THD).

Energy Efficient LED Lighting Solution By Tri-State LED Lighting

Cambridge Security Seals (CSS), the quality leader in tamper resistant and loss prevention seals, recently completed an extensive series of eco-renovations, including a complete facility retrofit at its Pomona manufacturing facility featuring the installation of energy-efficient interior LED lighting by Seesmart LED, Inc. The addition of Seesmart LED fixtures is part of a larger energy efficiency strategy that includes a complete HVAC system upgrade, environmentally-conscious plumbing and fixtures, and other power-reducing tactics that support CSS’s goal of becoming a low-energy establishment.

	Pomona, NY, February 29, 2012 — After the recently completed lighting retrofit, CSS is lit with LED luminaires in the offices, hallways and manufacturing facility, delivering energy savings estimated at nearly 70 percent over the old non-LED fixtures.
According to Adam Meyers, vice president, finance for CSS, the indoor LED lighting allows the facility to consume a third less lighting energy than comparable facilities. Meyers estimates that the new luminaires should provide payback in 28 months.
	The Seesmart LED luminaries are expected to provide more than a decade of virtually maintenance-free operation. “The payoff is more than what is saved in energy consumption and cost,” said Meyers. “It sets a tone of efficiency and strategic thinking about resources that is reflected in everything from our product design to our manufacturing, distribution and working with customers. These changes in our physical plant are completely consistent with our culture of achieving superior results at a lower cost.” LED tube lights replaced the original compact fluorescent fixtures. Based on Seesmart LED technology, luminaires provide superior light quality with little to no spill-off into neighboring areas. In addition, traditional incandescent fixtures were replaced by Seesmart LED household bulbs and high power LED lights.

“Energy efficient and near maintenance-free LED lighting is ideal for the manufacturing and distribution centers that burn lighting for extended periods of time year round,” said Raymond Sjolseth, president of Seesmart. “Seesmart’s LED products offer CSS early payback and financial savings over the full lifetime of the product – they are the best choice for any commercial business today.” Seesmart's product families include LED fixtures and bulbs, high-brightness LEDs, street lights, tube lights and wall washers. Seesmart LED products are driving improvements in applications such as general illumination, parking garages, office lighting and more...

Memorial Sloan Kettering Retrofits with LED Tube Lights

Seesmart Leads Lighting Retrofit of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to Reduce Carbon Footprint by 74 Tons 

The Manhattan-based hospital commissioned Seesmart LED to retrofit nearly 700 fixtures with LED tube lights, resulting in immediate cost savings.

LED lighting manufacturer Seesmart Technologies, Inc. (OTC: SEST.PK) announced today the completion of a retrofit project that replaced nearly 700 fixtures at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

The hospital is one of the world’s premier cancer centers and combines excellent patient care with leading research and educational programs. By switching from fluorescent T8s and T12s to Seesmart T8s in the facility’s parking garage, the hospital’s energy cost has been reduced by almost 57 percent. Memorial Sloan-Kettering also slashed its energy consumption by 160,000 kWh annually, awarding the hospital a $22,000 rebate from energy company Con Edison. The Center anticipates a full return on investment within two years.  LED lighting manufacturer Seesmart Technologies, Inc.

New York City - SL Green Goes Green With Tri-State LED Lighting

SL Green Sustainability Director Jason Black on Building a Better Light Bulb

By Jotham Sederstrom 3/14 9:30am

In January, SL Green purchased just over 5,000 four-foot LED tubes from Tristate LED to install throughout its suburban portfolio of 15 buildings in Westchester and Fairfield counties. Jason Black, the Real Estate Investment Trust’s director of sustainability, oversaw the process of choosing the best bulb from literally hundreds of vendors. He spoke to The Commercial Observer last week about how his light bulb selection will save 1.1-megawatt hours and $300,000 worth of electricity annually.

The Commercial Observer: In only the past five years, the number of LED light bulb vendors has ballooned. How did you determine that Tristate LED’s Seesmart lamp was the best for outfitting common areas like stairwells and mechanical rooms in your suburban portfolio? Mr. Black: We settled on this tube light product because I worked with the operations team to vet a variety of manufacturers to make a decision based on quality, warranty, where it was manufactured, and price versus energy savings. And, ultimately, we determined that this was the best solution for us. How many vendors are selling wares? How many did you deal with? It’s hard to say. It’s easily in the hundreds. You go to the trade show fairs and there’s dozens of start-up companies offering various LED products, and you have to be very careful in what you choose because not only can a lot of products be of poor quality in terms of how it’s manufactured but also the quality of the components within it. But also, what is the stability of the company itself, and trying to be sure that you’re working with companies that have at least a longstanding history and other viable programs that they’ve been successful with over the years, so that if a bulb burns out fours years from now and it’s under warranty I know this company will still exist.

In regard to sustainability, how crucial is finding the right light bulb?

Well, lighting can make up anywhere from, on average, 20 to 25 percent of a building’s annual energy cost, so lighting also tends to be your quickest payback opportunity, particularly when you’re able to combine it with available incentives on the market. So it’s something that you can implement quickly and it’s not technically complex.

What makes one bulb better than another?

If you’re talking about the components itself there’s a couple things: The driver within the device, which is probably the most crucial element, and ensuring that you have a quality component. This is the piece that delivers the energy to create the light within the lamp itself. And different products utilize different quality drivers.

Outside your area of expertise, most people don’t know very much about light bulbs. But they do recognize General Electric. How do they fare with LED technology?

GE definitely is a competing manufacturer who has a lot of product that’s coming out onto the marketplace. But, predominantly, for the type of product that we’ve implemented and are implementing into our buildings, they actually did not have a solution available at this point. So, they are a frontrunner. They’re definitely helping create this market and drive the market, but there are a lot of companies that are also bringing a lot of great things to the table.
