We currently have no schools but we are working with the John D Dingell VA hospital.
I will be able to provide you with a list of clientele you can talk with, a few schools that we have done. Some of our other clientele or if you would like to speak with the direct reps and ask their permission to speak with their clients.
These guys are primadonnas sometimes and you have to appease them. I have no problem providing this information but we have the chain of command here as well.
We will be putting out a press release next month with some of our more impressive clientele we are just waiting for a few projects to go through.
I was in a meeting at DTE this morning, they have illuysis tubes in their building that they gave them. I thought the CRI and light levels were very dim. I asked them what they were pulling and he showed me the watt meter in the ceiling showing 70 watts (they require a ballast to work), I got out my light meter and from a foot away got a 142 foot candle reading. We plugged my kit in, the same two tubes I brought to the meeting, one 342 and one 276, pulling 27W for the both of them at 12" away we were pulling 348 FC.
Suffice it to say between those and the Retrofits we were given a tour of the building and asked about some recommendations for them. We will have some shots soon of the CLGL products in there.
The LED Liaison they hired said he got back from a meeting in Lansing with the head of the Energy dept. he said they are going to be doing a prescriptive measure rebates for LED's and LED Tubes as well. I look forward to seeing that come just in time for summer demand rates.
I wanted to send you off an email as I am still just catching up with Thurs. email as you can see.
My meeting with ITL proved very fruitful, their testing seems to be something of value to us. We are investigating it more before we make a decision to send the tubes in for their NEW LED photometric testing. I will keep you apprised of that and provide you with the documentation. I am as anxious to see those as you are.
The two school districts we are working with now on smaller scales, just signed a Beta test at another facility (Davis County School District, Farmington Utah), are The New York Public Schools, PSQ 118, I have yet to hear anything from them and the 30 day call will go in real soon. The other is the [removed] School District, this school system is very hush about this, they have a test of 20 lights going right now and have had them for about 90 days. We should be hearing something from them as they asked us for a 1000 piece quote at the 60 day mark.
I'll make some contacts and provide you with some other of corporate's direct customers, there is no problems or anyone to go through there.
I hope there was something to be gleaned from the meeting the other day. I appreciated the time to speak to all of you.
Thanks and look forward to starting some dialog.
