Fall 2015 Hardlines Strategies

“The cost analysis from Blish-Mize said we would save about $70 per month on our electric bill if we installed LED lighting, and that’s what happened,” says owner Allan Dinkel. “I noticed that savings on my very first electric bill after the installation. We did the install in-house, with one of our employees who used to work as an electrician doing the work. We’re very happy with it—it’s much lighter and brighter in the store now. We especially like how the lamps are directional and can be focused on whatever you’d like. We haven’t mentioned it to customers, but they notice the difference.”

“When I paid my April bill, I saw that it was half the amount of my April bill last year,” says Bryn Myers, president. “Our LED lights give off plenty of light, but they’re so much cooler. Usually, we would have had the air conditioning running for quite a while this year, but we’ve only turned it on a few times, so we’re saving on energy there as well. The savings, plus the rebate from our power company, have really made it worth adding Titan LED lighting to our store.”

“After we saw the LED bulbs at the Blish-Mize market and our sales rep told us about the program, we decided to try it,” says Anita Miller. “The store is much brighter now. It also slashed our utility bill in half. We have one customer who was switching to LEDs in his own business, but changing out the whole fixture. When he saw what we were doing with our lights, he bought the Titan bulbs from us and is very happy because they are saving him time and money.”
