Andrew Popp, Manager Corporate Engineering, Hilton Hotels
"Hilton Hotels has approved Longlite's Power Controllers as part of our “Lighting Best Practices” program for use in all Hilton Brand Hotels. We tested the product at multiple locations and confirmed both 10% energy reduction and 3X life extension on bulbs installed with a LongLite. In addition to energy and bulb replacement savings, the use of this product will drastically reduce labor hours allocated to re-lamping. The product is easy to use and implement into any lighting maintenance program." -Andrew Popp
Eric C. Maxwell, Master Electrician , South Carolina Aquarium
"The Aquarium installed LongLites in March, 2004. The salesman told me that the company would buy them all back with no questions asked, if they didn’t perform as advertised. I am writing to tell you that the Longlites have been a big money-saver for me. As you well know from visiting our aquarium, the great hall which is about 30' in height, was causing us a great expense renting a lift every 3 - 6 months [depending on how long we would leave in burnt out bulbs before re-lamping]. I have yet to change any lamps in the great hall [it’s been almost 1 full year!]. Thank you for supporting the Aquarium and our mission. You have saved us a number of dollars and I look forward to continuing business with Longlite." -Eric C. Maxwell
Frank Rowe, General Manager, Marriott Hotel.
"In January of 2003, Longlite installed its product in the meeting rooms, hallways, lobby area, and 100 of the 110 guestrooms in my hotel. The remaining 10 rooms were used as a control sample and new bulbs were installed without a LongLite. Approximately 1,100 LongLite's were installed along with a new bulb. The results were as follows:
• Energy reduction was10%
• Bulb life-extension was approximately 3x's
• The light output is the same with the Longlites [as without]
To date, fewer than 100 replacement bulbs have been purchased for any bulbs using a LongLite. The bulbs in the main lobby, with a rated life of 2000 hours, were still working after 6000 hours [25O+ days @ 24hours per day] of usage. Overall, this equates to over $3,500 in bulb savings alone. There is no change in the quality of light for any bulb. Savings in energy reduction was 10%. The use of this product has reduced costs and increased overhead." -Frank Rowe
Frank Erbrick, Former CIO, UPS
"I have used LongLite's Power Controller for the past year. They have literally more than tripled my lamp life and reduce energy usage by 10%. I have implemented complex system-based solutions costing over $100 million. This product is inexpensive and simple to implement. I would strongly recommend that everyone who uses incandescent bulbs should run them with a Longlite." -Frank Ebrick
John Mesimer, Service Manager, National Vendor Services, Lighting Contractor, Lowe's
"I service recess cans, accent and track lighting in Lowe's store #595. Since March 2004, when Longlite was first installed in my store, I have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of bulbs burning out. I was replacing around 5 bulbs a day before the test. Now I am replacing maybe one every couple of weeks. This is great for me because it frees up more time for me to down stock and help out customers. The Longlite rollout itself went very smoothly with no problems at all." -John Mesimer
Steven Fan, General Manager, China Pavillion Epcot Center
"I have installed Longlite's QL3's in the China Pavilion at Epcot. We now save 10% energy and change fewer bulbs per week, with no light loss." -Steven FanChris Lee, President, Jaguar of Wellesley“We installed Longlite’s Power Controller in every socket in all of our showrooms. We use thousands of those expensive halogen bulbs. They work unbelievably. We have literally not changed one single light bulb since we put in the Longlite’s over one year ago.” -Chris Lee
Tom Evans, President, Proline Electrical - Lighting Contractor, Caesars Atlantic City
“In 35 years of selling and specifying energy saving products to the commercial industry, I have not seen a more simple way to immediately save money on energy costs and labor. Long live, Longlite.” -Tom Evans,
Fred Hauber, CLMC, CLEP; President, Eastern Energy Services
“As a lighting designer with over 20 years in the field, Longlite is the only product we have ever found that provides a good solution for all incandescent lighting, including specialty, dimming and always-on lamps. Anytime you can save 10 percent on your energy and triple the life of your lamps...you have hit a major homerun with long term energy and maintenance management. This all immediately impacts your bottom line”. -Fred Hauber
Rick Shepard, President, A Lighting Maintenance – Lighting Contractor, Publix Supermarkets
“Our bulbs at Publix that were lasting 3 months, are now still alive after 8 ˝ months. We definitely saw a 10% energy savings. They work flawlessly.” -Rick Shepard
John Benjamin, Joint Venture Partner, Outback Steakhouse
"We installed Longlites at our Outback Louisville location on March 8, 2004. Over 1 year later, 67% of the bulbs using a LongLite are still operating after 7239 hours of operation!! Some of my bulb types are now approaching 5X life-extension and every bulb using a QL-3 is still saving 10% energy. The use of LongLites has dramatically reduced the need to purchase replacement bulbs--huge savings." -John Benjamin
Peter B. Cole, Director of Business Planning, Rotmans Furniture
“I felt it was important to write and thank you for showing us your product and for your patience. When you first approached us last year I was skeptical that your product could deliver everything that you said it could. You were good enough to allow us to run our own “field” test here at our store. The results speak for themselves.
We installed new bulbs with the Longlite in a test area. We also installed the same number of new bulbs without the LongLites. Our sales staff has not noticed any difference in appearance of our stores. The bulbs with the QL3 appear to be the same as the bulbs without the QL3 in brightness and color.
There is a significant difference in the life of the bulbs. We marked each bulb in our test with a date installed. All of the bulbs without the QL3 have been replaced at least once, some have been replaced twice. None of the bulbs with the QL3 have been replaced.
The bulbs that last three times longer with ten percent reduced energy - all with no apparent loss in brightness or color. Add in labor savings due to fewer bulb changes and the savings are significant – approximately Thirty Thousand Dollars a year in this one location.
That is a savings anyone would be interested in. Thanks for showing us a product that does everything you and the sales literature promised it would do. Please feel free to use this letter as an endorsement of your product.” -Peter B. Cole
