Green Machine Light Engine, a LED solutions provider based in Santa Clara, Calif., specializes in outfitting outdoor areas, such as commercial parks, municipalities, universities and hotels, with new and retrofitted LED light fixtures.
With customers relying on Green Machine fixtures to illuminate darkened areas, AEG Power Solutions (Amsterdam:3WP) used its world-class AC/DC power supply experience to provide Green Machine with a tailored solution that fits into all of the company’s new and retrofitted LED fixtures. With an AEG PS power supply inside each fixture, Green Machine has a reliable, high-performance LED offering that provides customers with a power efficiency greater than 90 percent, Energy Star compliance, increased life expectancy and an average direct energy savings of more than 70 percent over traditional fluorescent lighting. Customization and reliability are just a few of the many attributes AEG PS customers find in the end-to-end power supply solutions leader’s LED portfolio.
When it comes to LED power supplies, AEG Power Solutions stands out by offering life expectancy equal to that of the LEDs themselves. AEG PS power supplies are manufactured with premium, industrial-grade components built to withstand extreme weather conditions and high-temperature environments. Engineers at AEG PS designed Green Machine’s power supply to meet its unique technical requirements and form factor. With confidence in engineering and design, AEG PS was able to provide Green Machine with an outstanding 5-year warranty, whereas other power supply providers typically offer three years or less.
“Understanding where the future of lighting and efficiencies are heading, we developed our LED products to exceed existing efficiency levels to ensure compliance today and through the foreseeable future. AEG PS has one of the only power supplies on the market that lived up to our high standards,” said John Byers, CEO, Green Machine Light Engine. “Most power supply providers offer off-the-shelf units manufactured to meet a certain standard, but we needed something customized for our LED solutions. AEG PS leveraged seasoned engineers along with our input to customize a power supply that exceeds every other off-the-shelf power supply, and AEG PS provided a 5-year warranty to prove it. Thanks to AEG PS, our customers are experiencing tremendous energy savings and are confidently recommending us for future projects.”
Green Machine also chose AEG PS for its innovation in power efficiency. When Green Machine started looking at different power supplies, no power supply provider could deliver power efficiencies greater than 85 percent. AEG PS represents the culmination of more than 150 years of power engineering expertise developed under the name of AEG Power Solutions, Harmer & Simmons and Saft Power Systems. Its rich heritage enabled AEG PS to engineer Green Machine’s LED power supply to provide greater than 90 percent. With such high efficiency, Green Machine’s LED fixtures easily achieve Energy Star compliance and exceed standards set forth by the California Energy Commission (CEC) as well as the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) – a competitive advantage only few share in the LED solutions market.
“With Green Machine, our heritage enabled us to better understand the company’s power needs and design a custom power supply in line with the expected life of its LED light source,” said Robert Vosburgh, North America Sales Director, AEG Power Solutions. “Green Machine engineers innovative LED light fixtures that comply with local and federal energy standards and are built to last. Customers rely on Green Machine fixtures to deliver reliable illumination for years, and our power supply will be there to help light the way.”
