LEDtronics Review by Alex

Summary: They will not be disappointed!!

Review:
I work in sales for my company and we use a lot of the products from LEDtronics. They go into the buildings in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. I've been doing business with LEDtronics for five years, and kept going back to them because they were very responsive and worked really hard to make a good service. I like to recommend their products to customers. I would definitely say that people should try the products out! They will not be disappointed with LEDtronics!

The Faces of LEDtronics

Cristal Sanchez has a passion for sustainability that extends to both her work and personal life. She has always had the goal to work with a company that promoted environmental health even before the “going green” trend. She was first inspired by a college biology class about humans in the environment. After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in International Business Marketing, she found herself in the lighting industry and soon found a home at LEDtronics.

Cristal at Work

Cristal is Product Specialist in Street and Outdoor Lighting. She acts as the first point of contact to a variety of different leads and perspective clients. From a farm owner who wants to light his property to government agencies that need lit parking lots, Cristal works with each client to find out the expectations and goals of their project. She can then make recommendations on which products will best suit their needs. Customer satisfaction is very important to her and LEDtronics, so she will follow up with clients years down the line to make sure the product is still working and satisfactory. According to Larry Rallo, Business Development Manager, “Cristal is highly professional and a very intelligent sales specialist in the lighting category she is responsible for.”

Cristal works on both electrical and solar LED outdoor projects and takes pride in the opportunity to save the client money as well as provide an earth-friendly lighting alternative. She finds herself noticing LEDs everywhere now. Even when she is out in social environments she notices the light around her.

Cristal has only worked at LEDtronics for two years but feels it is home. “Everyone (at LEDtronics) works so well together,” said Cristal. “You do your portion and then it goes on to the next person and they do a great job too.” In the close environment of LEDtronics, collaboration is important to Cristal and the rest of the team. It is more like a family than a company. When Pervaiz Lodhie, President and CEO, gifted Thanksgiving turkeys to all of his employees, Cristal was able to cook her first turkey.

Cristal at Home

Cristal loves anything outdoors. Hiking and going to the beach are among her favorites. She also enjoys photography as a hobby. “Ever since I can remember I have always liked to pick up a camera and take pictures.” She likes photographing anything that holds beauty to her and then displaying it around her house. She also enjoys flying with her boyfriend in his small piper aircraft. While she has taken the controls before, she prefers to just enjoy the ride. They like planning trips together or being spontaneous and just ending up in the sky.

Cristal’s Green Solutions

Staying true to her passion for sustainability, Cristal tries to reduce her carbon footprint at home. Here are some of the tips and habits she stands by:
  • Recycle papers and plastics
  • Try not to let the water run; turn it off and on during a shower, while brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc.
  • Shop with reusable grocery bags
  • When purchasing ice-cream, ask for a cone to avoid using Styrofoam cups.
  • Reuse magazines & catalogues for arts and crafts. I especially enjoy making envelops for greeting cards.
  • Don't throw clothes away. I donate to the Salvation Army.
  • Use vinegar & baking soda for cleaning purposes instead of chemical agents

Did You Know? LEDtronics Has Been Creating the Future of Light Since 1983




Our company was founded In 1983 by Pervaiz Lodhie and his wife Almas in their home in Torrance, CA. Pervaiz is a third generation engineer who was born in India and raised in Pakistan. He was driven to the US by his entrepreneurial spirit and innovative nature. although LED lights at the time were much dimmer than today, Pervaiz recognized their potential to be a revolutionary solution to the many drawbacks of the common incandescent bulb. Faced with the challenge to innovate the future of light, he became one of the first to retrofit LED technology into a replacement bulb.

Originally, LEDs replaced incandescent bulbs in indicator lights used in aircrafts and broadcast equipment. We, at LEDtronics have taken the single use LED light and transformed it into thousands of applications and over 10,000 LED products.

Over the past 29 years, we have conducted business with 80% of the Fortune 500 Companies and distinguished ourselves in the lighting industry by our dedication to our customers’ specific needs.
While evolving into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of LED Lighting Products, we have managed to remain a USA Manufacturer. When the threat of low-cost overseas competitors presented itself, instead of turning to the quick-fix, Lodhie developed his own business model to preserve both his employee’s jobs and his USA manufacturing facility.

LEDtronics has been creating the future of light since 1983 and we pride ourselves on providing the most efficient and earth friendly lighting source in the present and future.

The LEDtronics LED Post Top Lamp Solution

In this economy, many cities are in search of ways to cut costs and become more efficient. Street and parking lot lighting can be a major consumer of energy and budget to a city. Along with many other benefits, LEDtronics LED post top lamps offer a solution to this problem.

LEDtronics recently partnered with Carpinteria, CA to help reduce energy costs and switch from traditional High Pressure Sodium lights to LEDtronics LED lamps on their Amtrak platform and adjoining Linden Avenue. The 150 watt HPS bulbs were replaced by 27 watt LED lamps that have a 50,000 hour life expectancy, over three times as long as the HPS bulb. They are expecting a 66% reduction of energy consumption.

Payback from switching to LED can take as little as one and a half years and save up to 70% on energy and maintenance costs. While HPS lamps may need maintenance every 8,000 hours of usage, a LED post top lamp can last up to 5 years, maintenance free.

  • LED post top lamps also reduce light pollution.

  • LED lamps use highly directional light that does not bounce around like HPS lamps.

  • Each beam pattern can be finely tuned to provide light only where it is needed and not only reduce light pollution but also glares that diminish night vision.

If implemented throughout a city, LED post top lamps can create safer nighttime visibility, cut back on energy usage and save money.

LEDtronics has been “Creating the Future of Light Since 1983 providing energy efficient and environmentally friendly LED lighting products to customers. Through their innovative skills, they are able to address customers’ specific needs and provide expert technical assistance.

Shannon Poh, an inside sales supervisor and territory representative, has worked with LEDtronics for the past eleven years.

Since becoming part of the LEDtronics family Shannon has shared and promoted this mission.

In her capacity as an inside sales supervisor, Shannon is responsible for helping customers and co-workers determine the correct LED Lighting Product required for the requested application. This involves staying in constant communication with distributors and individual customers, staying current with the many different LED Lighting Products and applications, and ensuring superior customer care. Shannon also has many responsibilities as a territory representative. She manages all the quotes, processing, and customer contact for much of the international business ranging from Australia/New Zealand to Europe to Canada, and Asia, as well as eighteen of the United States.

Shannon is proud to be part of a company that furthers environmental responsibility. However, what Shannon finds most fulfilling is assisting customers, especially those who have been frustrated by lack of help elsewhere, to find the exact product for which they were searching. Shannon describes herself as straight to the point person, someone who likes to be busy, and likes to take charge by getting a handle on the job and getting it completed. She is happy being a part of the LEDtronics team where everyone works well together and co-workers are like an extended family. In the in the coming years, she looks forward to continuing to grow with the company and feels that if the company is succeeding, then she is as well.

They also have fun traveling to Northern California to spend time with family, and last summer they took a trip to Florida. Shannon loves showing Braydon as much of the world as possible and is committing to sharing new experiences with him. Shannon’s dream vacation is somewhere exotic and tropical, like Bora Bora, where she can have a cabana that opens right onto a pristine beach. Shannon and Braydon also share a great love of nature and animals. They have a dog, cats, and fish at home, and love going outside to explore the natural world. In addition to being a great mother, Shannon also enjoys bowling with her league, going to dinner with friends, and being social with the people in her life.

Shannon is a valued member of the LEDtronics family, and much of her personality can be understood through her personal life motto, “Ignore the negative and explore the positive.”

Kingman Regional Medical Center in AZ upgrades it's parking lot lighting with LEDtronics High Power LED Shoebox Fixtures




Pressed on by its security department that was anxious to have better lighting in the hospital’s parking lot for the security cameras to operate more efficiently, the Facilities Maintenance Department of Kingman Regional Medical Center approached Howard Industrial Sales in nearby Chandler to initiate energy savings comparisons and a lighting upgrade proposal in order to increase the light output in its vast parking lot.

Nestled in the foothills of the Hualapai Mountain range, the award-winning Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) is a community-owned 235-bed healthcare facility located in Kingman, Arizona—the seat of the Mohave County. It is the largest provider of health and wellness services in northwestern Arizona and has been often recognized as one of the nation’s top 100 hospitals in the State of the Nation’s Hospitals report. At 3,500 feet in elevation, the hospital sits in a beautiful high-desert rural community.

The medical center was using 250-watt HPS lamps in 88 fixtures throughout the campus, running on voltage ranges from 120VAC to 277VAC. The poles are mostly around 16-20 feet high, with some in the 24'-26' range; they are spaced 40-60 feet apart in the parking lot.

When Howard Industrial Sales made a demonstration of the 88-watt LEDtronics SLL003P-30X2W-XPW-005 LED luminaire, the chairman of the board, managers and other executives were all impressed by the light output and the resulting detail clarity in the security cameras, not to mention the energy savings of 202 watts per fixture.

The proposed upgrade to LED lighting also coincided with the KRMC embracing the green movement in recent months and undertaking a leadership position in environmentally friendly solutions in their community.

An initial order to replace the 88 HPS lamps was shipped within a few months, followed by another shipment to bring the total to 104 LED lamps. The shoebox-style LED luminaires use over 60% less energy than the conventional HPS units that were being used, and require much less maintenance in the way of bulb and ballast replacement. The LEDtronics LED parking-lot lights are provided with a 5-year warranty and will provide useful light with no more than 30% light degradation at 50,000 hours of operation. This results in an estimated savings slightly in excess of $100,000 during that time frame.

What started as a project to get better-lit images out of the security cameras ended up as a whole package of energy savings as well as security benefits and better lighting for users of the parking lot. Due to the success of the project, Kingman is now looking at other areas within the facility where LED lighting might bring energy savings as well as reduce maintenance labor and time.
