Since 2012, Green Light Energy has been helping IHOP
franchisees substantially reduce their cost of providing lighting, while
simultaneously significantly improving the amount of light provided in their
parking lot areas. More specifically,
Green Light Energy has provided 300-watt high output induction fixtures to
replace the 1,000 watt metal halide fixtures traditionally used by IHOP
franchisees.
After three years of evaluation of the installed fixtures,
IHOP franchisees have been realizing substantial cost savings and have been
accelerating the rate of change over to lights provided by Green Light Energy.
Here is a recent testimonial we received in this regard this month (May 2015) from
the general manager of an IHOP in Atlanta:
I am writing to thank you and your company for recommending
induction lighting to me for my store’s parking lot on Thornton Road in Lithia
Springs, GA. As you know, my IHOP
franchise is in a high traffic area near an interstate, and a well lit parking
lot is important to attract customers and to enable them to feel safe when they
visit us. Your product has helped us
improve our lighting and lower our costs at the same time.
You recommended that we replace our 1,000 watt metal halide
fixtures with 600 watts of induction. As
you know, beginning in March 2011, we had to initially employ a piecemeal approach
to implement your suggestion because of budget constraints, replacing some of
the 1,000 watt metal halide lamps with just one 300 watt induction lamp from
your company (instead of two). Still, I
think one of these 300 watt induction lamps nearly replaced the 1,000 watts of
metal halide that we were running; I am very happy with them.
I am particularly happy about the longevity profile of
induction; for years I have been paying an electrician $300-$400 nearly every
month to change out a bulb and/or ballast in our old metal halide pole-mounted
light fixtures; those old lights would also fade and flicker and were never
uniform. With the induction system and its
100,000 hour life, I no longer have the maintenance cost and the uniformity of
light makes our store look fantastic at night.
I am glad that there is a ten-year warranty to protect my store’s
investment. My regional management
shares these sentiments. We have
definitely saved thousands of dollars so far with the lighting you provided,
while providing more light to our customers than we used to have.
Our most recent purchase of lighting from you
this past month will be followed by additional orders as we complete our
changeover to what you have recommended.
Thank you.
