We are thrilled to share that CLI Services (Colorado Lighting, Inc.) was recently featured in the latest issue of LM&M (Lighting Management & Maintenance) magazine! The publication highlighted our successful collaboration with Denver Public Schools (DPS), where we undertook a large-scale project to modernize lighting across nearly 140 schools. This recognition underscores our commitment to delivering innovative lighting solutions that enhance both energy efficiency and safety.
CLI Services Featured in LM&M Magazine for School Lighting Upgrades
An Ambitious Partnership with Denver Public Schools
As the article highlights, CLI Services has built a strong partnership with DPS over the years, which made us the perfect fit for their request for proposals (RFP) to upgrade school facilities. This extensive project spanned 18 months, where our team assessed, designed, and implemented lighting solutions tailored to the district’s needs.
LM&M commended our efforts in breaking down the project into seven distinct bundles:
Bundles 1-6: Prioritizing Energy Efficiency
Our initial focus was on transforming the interior lighting systems across multiple schools. By converting outdated fixtures to modern LED technology, we helped DPS achieve substantial energy savings while aligning with their bond funding requirements.
Bundle 7: Focusing on Safety & Security
For the final phase, we shifted gears to upgrade exterior lighting at 25 schools. This phase was crucial for improving safety, ensuring better visibility around school campuses, especially during early mornings and evenings. The magazine highlighted our meticulous attention to enhancing security through strategic lighting improvements.
A Closer Look at Our Work with Kepner Beacon Middle School
One of the standout projects recognized in the feature was our work at Kepner Beacon Middle School in Denver’s Westwood neighborhood. LM&M detailed our comprehensive approach, including:
- Conducting pre-assessments with foot-candle readings and aerial drone imaging.
- Collaborating with school staff to address specific concerns and optimize lighting placements.
Utilizing product recommendations and expertise from distributor partner Luminosity Supply & Solutions
- Upgrading to Keystone Technologies’ LED systems to standardize fixtures, reduce maintenance, and enhance energy efficiency.
The recognition emphasized how our team successfully addressed a mix of outdated fixtures, streamlining the lighting setup to improve both functionality and aesthetics.
Leading the Way in Sustainable Lighting Solutions
The article also highlighted our commitment to sustainability. We standardized the lighting at a 3000K color temperature to reduce light pollution, aligning with environmental best practices. By partnering with local utilities, we helped DPS secure rebates for energy-efficient upgrades, maximizing their budget while ensuring long-term savings.
Thank You for the Recognition!
Being featured in LM&M Magazine is an incredible honor for us at CLI Services. It validates our dedication to delivering top-quality, sustainable lighting solutions that make a tangible difference in educational environments. As DPS continues to prioritize energy efficiency and student safety, we are proud to be their trusted partner in creating brighter, safer spaces for Denver’s students.
