Our Annual Meeting

Posted on January 28, 2010 by outdoorlightingofcolorado

Last week Cathy and I had the privilege of attending Outdoor Lighting Perspectives’ (OLP) Annual Conference that was held at the beautiful Amelia Island Plantation located near Jacksonville, Florida. I was asked to speak about our involvement with the Community Association’s Institute as well as some of our more interesting lighting projects for various HOAs in Colorado.

One of the best benefits of being part of a large national/international franchise system is the opportunity to discuss best business practices with other local franchise owners. In addition, two of OLP’s manufacturers were there to introduce new products and other technological advances.

Shown at left is a new 6W LED replacement for a quartz halogen MR16 bulb-fixture. In addition to a complete new line of LED products, also unveiled was a line of commercial induction fluorescent fixtures, and an expansion of the ceramic metal halide commercial line.

It was a great break and it’s always fun to see the ocean – especially being from water-challenged Colorado. The important thing is that we learned a lot and are ready to move forward in 2010 to provide better service and products to our customers.

Holiday Lighting with LEDs Looks Great and Saves Energy Too!

Posted on January 28, 2010 by outdoorlightingofcolorado

I know, I know – the holiday season and Christmas have long since passed – but I’m continuing the highlights of 2009. As you can see in the following photo, Christmas/holiday lighting with LEDs looks great and we’ll be using it for all new Christmas/holiday lighting installations we do in the future.

Christmas Lighting with LEDs

LEDs use only 10-percent of the energy as compared to standard incandescent mini light bulbs. Other important features are that they are very durable with 10,000-plus hours of continuous bulb life and very safe with very cool operational temperatures.

In addition, the epoxy lenses are virtually indestructible and parallel wiring means that if one LED bulb burns out, the other bulbs will stay lit.

CHANNELBRITE PERMANENT LED – 2009 HOT PRODUCT!

Posted on January 26, 2010 by outdoorlightingofcolorado
 

9NEWS HOT PRODUCT AWARD CHANNELBRITE

As we continue to look back at the highlights of 2009, one of the most memorable was OLP of Colorado’s selection as a 9NEWS HOT PRODUCTS ZONE AWARDEE at the Colorado Garden and Home Show for its permanent LED lighting product – ChannelBrite™. Only nine companies (Hot Products) were selected from over 650 companies exhibiting at the show. 

The Hot Products Awardees receive special exposure along with a separate high visibility exhibit in the lobby of the Colorado Convention Center as well as a special live interview segment on 9NEWS prior to the opening of the show.

ChannelBrite is a permanent LED solution for both residential holiday lighting as well as year-round commercial applications where business owners want to have their businesses stand out from the competition. The LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours of service. In fact, if you used them 10 hours a day, that would translate into 25 years of service.
 
A program controller allows you to set the speed, pattern and colors of the light display. The ChannelBrite installation is virtually unnoticeable when not in use and it requires just 10-percent of the energy consumed by normal incandescent lighting.
 
For commercial applications, a more densely packed LED strip can replace the more inefficient fluorescent lights that are currently used to outline buildings. By using Channelbrite, business owners can call attention to their location in a unique, attractive and upscale way without any annoying light spillover into adjacent businesses or residences.
 
The ChannelBrite product is backed by a full 3-year warranty. The ChannelBrite display that was in our main exhibit is shown below:

The technology and energy efficiency of this new and amazing permanent LED product are truly astounding. And because ChannelBrite is installed on the structure itself and not below ground (as is the case with landscape lighting), it can be scheduled for installation at any time of year. 

Pictures of actual installations/applications follow.
