Lumewave - Zigby Wireless Outdoor Controls

Parking lot, area, and pathway lighting that burn all night represents a significant source of energy waste and contributes to needless sky glow and light pollution. 

Take a look at Lumewave controls.  We can reduce energy consumption according to occupancy for site lighting by 50% with new metal halide technology called Cosmopolis and MasterColor Elite and by more with LED.  Here is a link to these new lamp technologies:

From the Lumewave site:

Lumewave's wireless, remote control and monitoring of street lights can save energy, enhance public safety, reduce light pollution, reduce maintenance costs, provide valuable M&V information, and fixture health reporting to municipalities, states and other users.

A reprieve from lighting - Hail Damage

Hopefully this will be of assistance to someone out there.  In the last month I picked a pretty hefty door ding and several spots of hail damage.  I ran into a couple of guys who have a shop where Beth Haley architecture moved from in east Nashville.  For $200 they fixed the dents and wet sanded some scratches off of the bumper and the work was perfect.  Contact me if you want the number and I will pull out the business card.
