Goled is a 4’6”, 19 year old, freshmen college basketball player in the great white north of Canada, and the Leo-Dog. You may be asking yourself how someone as short as Goled made it onto a basketball team. Well a lot of his teammates assume it’s thanks to his prosthetic leg that he can move so maneuverably and insane jumping height. He’s never quite made a dunk before, but he gets close. He’s quick on his feet and a lot the time he’s tough to grab or intercept. Though in a sea of players his own teammates have trouble picking him out of the crowd whenever he has the ball. Goled cannot quote explain his great jumping skills and tends to dismiss the rumors of his prosthetic giving him an advantage. Though he does know something strange allows him to play as well as he does. 

Goled houses the Emerald Birthstone within his Right Eye and this bestows him with the power to control fire. Goled can absorb, shape, and start fires all with his mind. He can even control how hot the flames will be and focus them into blue flames for added damage. Fire no longer hurts him as it has become apart of him, though he always feels incredibly hot to the point of extreme swearing, and has to be careful of the metals and plastics in his prosthetic as he wouldn’t want to singe or melt it.

Here are a few compelling reasons to look twice at LED technology that is currently flooding into the marketplace, and our subconscious.  Why is everyone so excited about LED?  Read more for a quick LEDucation.

Save Money—Compared to traditional bulbs, LED certified lighting uses at least 75% less energy. Replacing ten incandescent bulbs with ten LED bulbs could save your restaurant nearly $300 annually in electricity costs.

Reduce Maintenance Costs—LED certified lighting products last 10–25 times longer than products using incandescent light bulbs. Fewer bulb replacements mean less maintenance and more time and money that can be spent on other items.

Better Design and Performance—The directional nature of LED lighting solutions allows for precise placement of light, helping to highlight important areas in your restaurant.  LED light fixtures come in a variety of styles, sizes, and forms offering restaurants flexibility in their placement. Durability and enhanced cold-temperature performance make certified LED lighting perfect for outdoor or freezer use.

Reduce Energy Consumption—Lighting is a significant energy user, averaging 13% of the total energy breakdown of a restaurant, a great place to start an efficiency upgrade. LED light fixtures and bulbs, used in both front and back of house, save energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Traditional lighting not only consumes 75% more energy, but also wastes that extra energy as heat. Upgrading lighting systems with efficient light sources, fixtures, and controls can reduce lighting energy use, improve the visual environment, and impact the sizing needs of HVAC and electrical systems.

If you are ready to learn more about updating to LED bulbs, a retrofit for existing fixtures, or a complete design of a new lighting initiative, we are here to help.  Call to schedule a site visit and let us help you consider all the options so you can feel prepared and informed.
