Advanced Lighting Technologies
Energy consumption and cost reduction is the next wave of smart property management. Managers are scrambling for ways to lower their energy bills and increase efficiency, but the available technologies are confusing, and the actual energy and cost reductions they deliver aren’t obvious.
We focus on advanced lighting systems because lighting comprises a large percentage of energy costs – from 25% to 80% depending on a building’s use. New lighting technologies are finally available that use dramatically less power- up to 65% less, and even more with automated control systems. Lighting upgrades offer the best and fastest return on investment of any energy reduction initiative in most of the buildings we see.
GEC also helps clients navigate the available energy rebates and tax credits available for efficient lighting systems, and can secure financing for lighting projects to reduce or eliminate the cash outlay required to install a system.
GEC has thoroughly evaluated the available lighting companies, and chosen only the best-of-breed systems to bring to its diverse client base. recommends two types of advanced lighting systems that its research and testing have identified as the top-performing high-efficiency lighting technologies on the market: LED and Induction Lighting.

LED Replacement Lamps
GEC specifies LED replacement lamps only from LED Saving Solutions, a small American company that manufactures its own LED replacement bulbs in Pennsylvania. LSS is a superior product line and company, with best-in-class quality controls, lamp life, delivery times, factory engineering support, lighting design and customization.
Induction Lighting
An Induction Lamp is essentially a fluorescent tube without any electrodes. The sealed tube is powered through the glass, using magnetic induction coils. Where Ultra-Tech's breakthrough lighting technology is a good fit, it offers clients the longest-lasting, most efficient and lowest total cost lighting solution available.
