RAB fixtures were supplied by Revco Lighting + Electrical Supply (Southold, NY) and installed by Jim Sage Electric, Inc. (Greenport, NY.) RAB sales representation by Damin Sales (Stony Brook, NY).

When Mullen Motors' lighting fixtures needed an upgrade, owners, Rich and Bill Mullen, turned to RAB Lighting for energy-efficient LED fixtures that gives the Southold, New York Chrysler dealership a modern edge and makes their cars sparkle and shine.

"In an auto dealership, good lighting is critical to sales success," says Rich Mullen. "What really sold me on the RAB product was the high lumen output and clean light distribution they produce. Plus, they're much less expensive to run and maintain compared to metal halide fixtures."

Rob Rossi, at Revco Lighting + Electrical Supply, recommended that the Mullens switch to RAB's LED fixtures. He suggested a one-for-one replacement for the existing 150 Watt floodlights with RAB's ultra-efficient 39 Watt LED floodlights and replacing their existing 250 Watt floodlights with RAB's high-performance 78 Watt floodlights. In all, 34 fixtures were installed, resulting in energy savings of more than 70%. The mounting hardware was a perfect match, making for an easy installation.

RAB sales rep, Peter Gregory at Damin Sales, gave the Mullen brothers an LED floodlight sample to seal the deal.

"Replacing a metal halide with RAB LED always means big savings for the end users and Mullen Motors was no exception," says Gregory. "The lighting upgrade delivered better light output with a huge reduction in energy and re-lamping costs. With a 100,000 hour life, it's practically maintenance-free. Ultimately, the LED luminaires will pay for themselves in savings."

With bright light output, suitability for wet locations, die-cast aluminum housing and a chip and fade resistant finish, RAB's luminaires are built to withstand harsh weather conditions like those found on the North Shore of Long Island.

"RAB's LED fixtures come with a bumper-to-bumper five-year warranty that covers not only the LEDs, but the finish and the drivers too, so there's never anything to worry about," says Rossi. "Also, RAB Lighting is a well-established company with a dependable, customer-centric reputation. They are extremely helpful and really stand behind their products."

Ross Barna, CEO of RAB Lighting, the Northvale, New Jersey-based leader in outdoor LED lighting, says, "Car dealers know that great lighting helps sell more cars, especially the ones on the lot. RAB LED not only enhances the appearance of the dealership by showcasing their cars, but also reduces their operating expenses by reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. An LED lighting upgrade is a great way to make your dealership shine."

Rich Mullen agrees, "The dealership looks much brighter and the savings are quite substantial, so I'm a big fan. The RAB LED floodlights exceeded my expectations."
