NEW Covenant LED

NEW Covenant LED is based in De Pere, Wisconsin, and we specialize in the sales and installation of LED lighting, focusing on commercial and industrial properties. We are capable of providing a turnkey solution, taking care of everything from lighting design/layout, installation, and the complete removal and recycling of all your old fixtures and bulbs.Doug Schoenwalder, the owner,  is an apprenticeship trained electrician with 20+ years of experience.  He is the former City of Green Bay Electrical Inspector (seven years). He has been running his own electrical contracting business since June of 2006. New Covenant LED represents a transformation of that business into one that is now dedicated to educating business owners about the tremendous benefits to be found by switching to LED lighting and equipping them with the highest quality and cost effective solution available. As a business, we pride ourselves on having professional Christian values.The process of an LED retrofit project will involve the removal of fluorescent lamps and the ballasts that regulate them. Fluorescent lamps contain mercury, which constitutes a significant environmental hazard. Lamps containing mercury include the following: 

• Fluorescent
• Compact fluorescent
• Mercury vapor
• Metal halide
• High-pressure sodium
• Neon
• Arc

There are many ballasts still in use that contain hazardous materials as well. The two materials of concern are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP.) These are liquids, and ballasts that contain them are known as 'wet ballasts' which are considered regulated waste and should be recycled.Under the Universal Waste rule instituted by the EPA, companies are required to dispose of and recycle their lighting properly. When you have your LED lighting installed by New Covenant, you can rest assured that we will handle the proper disposal of lamps and ballasts for you. Our recycling services take the liability away from our clients, and allow old lights to be re-purposed properly for new uses.

LED LIGHTING APPLICATIONS

The simple fact is this - almost every organization can see significant benefits from upgrading their facilities to LED lighting. The technology has reached a point of maturity, and is fully ready to replace the traditional methods of commercial and industrial lighting. LEDs provide an extremely high quality of light, and can improve visibility, site security, employee productivity, and enhance the overall attractiveness of your facility - inside and out. LED lighting also provides substantial savings which comes from reduced electricity, lighting maintenance, and replacement costs.

Lighting Audits Explained
A New Covenant LED Lighting Specialist will visit your facility to conduct a walkthrough of your facility - we call this a Lighting Audit. During this initial visit, we will inspect your existing lighting system and make a detailed record of your specific lighting requirements. After we conduct an analysis of your past utility bills and review the data we collect from the walkthrough, we estimate your current electricity use and savings potential. We provide Lighting Audits and the resulting final proposal free of charge.Our next step will be to meet with you to review the lighting design options contained in the proposal. During this meeting, we will explain to you the LED lighting options that are available, and show how much you can expect to save in utility bills and maintenance costs by switching to LED.
