Lighting Pole Device Saves Money, Electricity and Pays for Itself in About Four Months

Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (May 1, 2010) – In today’s economy where many businesses/municipalities are looking to save money and operate in environmentally friendly ways, a new product promises to achieve both in places few consider: Parking lots and Roadways. A new, first-of-its-kind energy-efficient lighting system called The Green Spider launched this month will soon become common in parking lots and roadways across America. By controlling a lighting poles individual fixtures during off-peak hours, the innovative product reduces lighting energy consumption and costs by about 30 percent, extends the life of existing lighting equipment, and pays for itself in as little as four months.

“An open-access parking lot that is fully illuminated at 1 a.m. wastes money and energy, but a dark parking lot isn’t ideal either because it may compromise safety, security and potentially violate local minimum lighting codes,” “The Green Spider is the solution.”

How it works:
The Green Spider is designed to work in conjunction with existing lighting pole controllers, such as a photo-cell, time clock or remote energy management systems. It installs on any multiple fixture lighting pole in minutes. Once installed in a parking lot or on a roadway pole, The Green Spider automatically allows all fixtures to operate normally during heavy twilight and evening traffic hours. At a predetermined interval, the Green Spider turns off three to four individual 1,000-watt fixtures and leaves the remaining fixtures illuminated for both local lighting codes and security. At dawn, The Green Spider resets itself for the next day’s lighting cycle.

During its test phase, The Green Spider was installed at a shopping center in Miami, Fla., on only seven three-headed light poles. Prior to The Green Spider’s installation, the center’s average monthly electric bill was $1,225. After installation, the electric bill was reduced by 25% to $925. “The savings were immediate,” said Tony Massa, co-founder of Green Spider Energy, LLC. “The Green Spider will revolutionize the way commercial property managers illuminate common access parking lots around the country.”
The Green Spider is currently used in parking lots throughout Florida, and the company is rolling out the patent-pending product nationally in 2010. Manufactured in the U.S., The Green Spider’s MSRP is $350 per unit and comes with a complete satisfaction guarantee.
