NOW HERE’S A BRIGHT IDEA
Why should you retrofit your building with LEDs? First, the savings is huge. Your lighting bill will decrease by 40-80%, and because LEDs last 5-10 times longer than traditional lights, replacement costs plummet. Second, they look better, turn on instantly, generate very little heat, and are silent. Third, among energy-savings measures, LEDs yield the largest carbon footprint reduction per dollar spent. Atlantic LED Solutions, co-owned by a 20-year Tribeca resident, can walk you through the retrofit process, including a proposal showing what it will cost, available rebates, and how long—likely between one and two years—before you recoup the investment.
