GreenLight Project HighLight Part 2:

Hein Electric Supply West Allis 

Counter Sales Lighting Upgrade

The Counter Sales showroom is the "first impression" of our company.  It is a heavy traffic area for customers placing Will Call orders, for visiting product representatives, and acts as a showcase for the various product lines that we carry.  We needed this area to be bright, inviting, and illuminating.  

We chose the Fluxstream LED Linear fixtures by Philips Daybrite for its sleek design, smooth diffused light, and dimming capabilities.  The Fluxstream LED fixtures are fully dimmable using a 0-10 volt control signal.  With a cross section of roughly 2” x 2”, the Fluxstream gives the appearance of a “rod of light” suspended from the ceiling.  

Each 8ft section consumes 82 watts and delivers 7800 lumens of 4000K high color rendering light.  The new fixtures replaced worn out two lamp 8ft slimline industrial strips consuming 135 watts each.  The light levels increased dramatically and vertical illumination increased, making product more visible and labels easier to read.  To further enhance the space, we added Lutron 0-10V wireless controls to include local dimming control, occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting.  See the dramatic before and after below.

GreenLight Project HighLight Part 1:

Hein Electric Supply West Allis Warehouse Lighting

When we purchased our new Corporate Headquarters building in January 2016, we immediately noted the areas that needed a lighting upgrade to better suit our needs. 

One of the first priorities was the Warehouse.  The existing Warehouse had approximately (100) 4-Lamp T5 HO fixtures illuminating the aisles, the receiving area, and the shipping areas at 220 Watts per fixture.  

Thanks to our partners at GE Lighting, we were able to replace the existing T5HO fixtures with new GE ALBEO LED Hi Bays. For the general warehouse, we installed (96) GE Albeo, 17,200 lumen fixtures at 153 watts each.  For the Shipping and Receiving areas, we installed (4) GE Albeo 24,160 lumen fixtures at 190 watts each.  

We opted to increase the light level in lieu of maximizing our energy savings. GE offers an Albeo 12,000 lumen, 95 watt fixture package, but we decided that a greater lumen output was a better option for our space.  The result is clarity of the box labels, better visibility to pull product, and a safer working environment.

2016 Focus on Energy Incentive Update

Adjustments to 2016 prescriptive incentives are still under discussion with the Program Administrator and the Public Service Commission. Until 2016 incentive rates and catalogs are finalized, all programs will continue to honor the 2015 prescriptiveincentives.  Customers and Trade Allies can use the existing catalogs and applications until further notice.  Communication reflecting this continuation will be on the Focus website January 1.  I will reach out to you once the 2016 prescriptive incentives are finalized and send you an email with the electronic versions once finalized.  Again, we do not know what the prescriptive 2016 incentive amounts will be and the approved measures until they are released. 

The new custom incentive rates have been finalized and approved, and these go into effect January 1,2016 as planned.  The custom incentive guide/application is in the final stage of approval and will be put on the website as soon as this approval has been received.  2016 custom incentive rates are as follows (for any incentives to be considered outside of the prescriptive catalog):

Business Incentive Program and Chain Store & Franchise

$0.03 per kWh

$0.40 per Therm (no bonus)
