“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.”
