Safe Haven Self Storage has selected Xeleum Lighting, LLC to convert its storage facilities to LED based lighting. The initial conversion from the existing fluorescent and incandescent system will begin during the third quarter of this year at its 70,000 s/f facility. Mehrdad Ghalebi, Xeleum president, said, "We are thrilled to have been selected by Safe Haven to convert their lighting to LED. Safe Haven, along with numerous other commercial and industrial heavy electricity users, is undertaking this conversion because the energy cost to operate LED lighting is far less than that of conventional lighting. Our lighting products are direct replacements for a wide variety of the incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lights currently in use. They exhibit extremely long maintenance free operating life and can reduce electric lighting bills by 50% to 85%, depending upon the specific light types, electric rates and hours per day of usage. They are available at flux values and color temperatures comparable to those of the incandescent and fluorescent devices they replace." Kristian Pariseau, Safe Haven director of operations said, "Once we saw the energy audit and ROI analysis, the decision to proceed with the conversion was obvious. Our LED lighting investment is repaid in energy savings in less than two years and, thereafter, the cost for lighting on our monthly electric bill is reduced by over 80%. And because of the very long life of LED lights, we also anticipate substantial cost savings from our not having to purchase and install replacement lights anywhere near as often as in the past."
