U.S. Manufacturers are no longer producing incandescent bulbs and sale of them will be phased out by 2014. There haven't been any major innovations in the lighting industry since Thomas Edison's invention in the 1870's. Many consumers have turned to compact fluorescent bulbs, but problems with light quality, inability to dim and harmful levels of mercury have made change difficult. Recently, advances in LED lighting have made it possible to solve all these problems, save money on energy and reduce your impact on the environment by something as simple as changing a bulb.

Here's a recent article on FGI and how we can make a difference!

FGI helps companies find and implement the best energy efficient lighting and do so in the most affordable way based on your site-specific needs. We guarantee we can reduce your organization's carbon footprint and save you money at the same time. We offer no-cost analysis of your facility to show you potential energy savings, CO2 Reduction, possible utility company rebates and advice on tax deductions as well as proving that your return on investment is worth making this valuable change.

FGI was built based on being significantly capitalized in expertise in construction, business management, engineering, lighting, energy conservation and finance. Many of our competitors are electrical subcontractors or distributors with expertise in only one of those areas. We are manufacturer independent, allowing us to provide you with the best quality product for your facility. We have built our company on the ability to be a turn-key approach for the customer including full energy survey, utility negotiations, tax ramifications, electrical and lighting expertise and maximum energy reduction. No other company can provide you with the complete expertise that FGI brings to this project.

We handle illumination for large and small companies alike. Anyone can benefit from a reduction in costs, and we all benefit from being thoughtful of the environment and minimizing impact on natural resources. We are technology and manufacturer independent so our recommendations are unbiased. Our products can help a company save 50-90% on lighting and electricity bills and cut the equivalent amounts of CO2 emissions and H2O wasted by coal-powered generation.

The lights can pay for themselves in 2 years or less and can last between 30,000 and 100,000 hours, depending on the technology.

FGI will also certify your project for your EPAct Federal Tax Deduction after your installation. FGI has become one of the most versed entities in the country in assisting customers with EPAct certifications and assurances that the customer will receive the Federal Tax Deductions. If we are removing fluorescent lighting from your facility, FGI will also provide the business owner with certification of waste disposal to provide to the EPA.
