Light Club USA Announces New Energy Saving Electrical Products Division

Los Angeles (PRWEB) June 10, 2009

Light Club USA’s new division, “Green Water and Power” is now part of a comprehensive design team offering the latest technology in energy efficient light bulbs, fixtures (CFL, Cold Cathode, LED and Solar LED), smart water saving devices (plumbing and irrigation) and Synthetic Landscapes (artificial plants, trees and lawn turf). These are all earth-friendly, sustainable products that not only save significant amounts of water and power but also allow for a more energy efficient living environment.

Resource Center -Light Club has opened one of the first green and sustainable showrooms, resource and educational centers in the U.S. Located in Chatsworth, California, this facility is a resource for business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C). Light Club is one of the few distribution and consulting companies approved by local utilities and national programs to help facilitate the new energy policies that are now available through City, State, Federal and Private Foundations. Light Club’s Green Water and Power division will assist building and property owners/managers on the new programs on how to dramatically save energy, process and expedite the rebate paperwork and ultimately increase the value of each retro fitted property. With new stimulus funds, many retro fit projects end up costing very little in upfront costs with a substantial annual payback.

Hands On Approach- A demonstration area and light lab is available to view many of the new energy efficient technologies – Solar, LED, Long Life Lamps as well as “water-less” landscape materials and smart irrigation devices.

In addition, Light Club USA is linked in with most of the rebate programs available and facilitates all of the necessary paper work on each qualifying product. Many products have immediate, point- of- sale rebates that can be redeemed at Light Club USA.

Green Design Team- Light Club is now part of “Green Team USA” which is a group of top professionals specializing in – Lighting, Solar, Plumbing, Irrigation, Landscape and HVAC. Other members of the team include Leed certified consultants who are active with the USGBC (US Green Building Council).

Master Green Distributor- Light Club USA is a master distributor for many major brands of Lighting, Plumbing, Irrigation, Artificial Landscapes and HVAC. Light Club USA also designs and manufacturers many of their own proprietary products such as Solar, 12v and LED lighting. These products can be purchased directly from the Light Club web site. Light Club ships UPS and FED EX worldwide.

Other services- Free on site energy reviews for qualified residential and commercial properties. To date, the average energy savings per property is running at 30% with a return on investment time of 11 months. Light Club USA also offers installation services to Southern California utility customers.

Technical Support- Light Club USA offers free lighting and energy management classes in Southern California to individuals and groups who wish to learn more about new “green” products and how to obtain rebates, energy grants and tax credits that are currently available.

Light Club USA also assists contractors and designers across the country in opening up new business opportunities with the LCUSA partnership program. This program provides contractors the necessary “tools” to offer green products and access to available rebates.

New “green building” solutions are rapidly advancing in all in areas. Gathering current information along with product updates is not always readily available or easily found, even for seasoned professionals.

Empowering Opportunity- The opportunity in green energy services is one of the few growing segments in our nation’s economy.

Understanding the new green products and how to access the “stimulus” and rebate funds, provides a rare and unique opportunity to those professionals who are interested in this rapidly growing field. Business Week magazine estimates “there are currently 8.5 million U.S. jobs in renewable / energy efficient industries and this number could grow to as many as 40 million jobs by 2030.”

Grey to Green, Every One Wins- Saving money, obtaining rebates and tax credits, offering a valuable service and reducing the carbon foot print is truly a win-win for all.

California Ultimate Turf Scores Roaring Success with TigerTurf™ Installation for Arena Soccer Park of Orange, Calif.

Arena Soccer Park features two TigerTurf soccer fields, a regulation-sized “indoor soccer” field and a mini field for 4-on-4 play

Orange, Calif. (PRWEB) April 21, 2010

California Ultimate Turf (CUT) scored a roaring success recently when it installed 22,000 square feet of TigerTurf for Arena Soccer Parks’ facility located at 2190 North Canal Street in Orange, Calif. The installation was completed Feb. 2 on time and within Arena Soccer Parks’ budget in spite of a two-week rain delay.

Based in Signal Hill, Calif., CUT is a full service, turnkey construction company that has been an authorized field representative for TigerTurf Americas, the world’s most advanced artificial turf manufacturer, since 2008. TigerTurf Americas is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Arena Soccer Parks LP provides recreational indoor/arena soccer entertainment for all ages and skill levels in Orange and Garden Grove, Calif. The privately-owned company offers year-round leagues for men, women, boys and girls.

Project Details

The Arena Soccer Park in Orange features two artificial turf fields. One is a regulation-sized “indoor soccer” field with full-sized goals that cater to both adult and club teams as well as a mini field for super fast 4-on-4 adult action and youth play. Each field is equipped with stadium seating and night lighting.

Chester Holt, manager for Arena Soccer Parks, chose California Ultimate Turf over three other artificial turf providers to replace the original 14-year-old Astro Turf at the Orange soccer facility. Holt purchased TigerTurf 45M, a durable athletic surface that is well suited for multi-purpose fields and weighs 45 ounces per yard.

Doug Coulter, founder and chief executive officer of CUT, said the project included several key steps: removing the old turf; repairing the asphalt subsurface; filling in the surface with concrete; removing the old asphalt and turf; installing the new TigerTurf product; and anchoring the new turf to prevent rolling.

Coulter also serves as the captain of the TigerTurf Football Club, a team of 10 men who play soccer on Monday nights at the Arena Soccer Park in Orange during the Winter and Fall Leagues. Five of the TigerTurf Football Club players are employed by CUT.

Client and Player Comments

Holt said he is extremely satisfied with TigerTurf and CUT, adding: “I don’t think I could have gotten anything else better. The price, quality of the product, workmanship and ease of maintenance are everything I expected they would be.

“Going with California Ultimate Turf was a no-brainer,” Holt commented. “I liked the backing and the blade structure of the TigerTurf product. I also liked that the California Ultimate Turf team members did all of the work themselves and did not hire subcontractors. I appreciated the way the staff presented themselves, turf samples, their Website, and information in their newsletters. Honestly, between the TigerTurf Website and the CUT Website, all of my questions were answered well before I talked to any sales and customers services representatives.”

Holt said that he originally had planned for the park to be closed for field renovation for only two weeks, but heavy rain caused the park to be unavailable for four weeks. Yet, league play at the Orange facility began on schedule. Holt reported that total playing time on the new fields has increased to 60 hours per week versus 38 hours of play before the TigerTurf revamp.

Eric Ebert, a member of the TigerTurf Football Club who played with Major League Soccer Teams Houston Dynamo during the 2007-2008 season and Chivas USA during the 2008-2009 season, commented about the condition of the new fields: “The TigerTurf surface allows for better play than a natural surface. The surface is even and has no holes. And the artificial turf surface isn’t as hard as a natural surface is. Players feel better knowing that the field conditions are more consistent and safer.”

FIELDLOCK Delivers the Strongest Synthetic Turf Fields in the Industry

Fort Washington, MD (PRWEB) November 27, 2010

The engineering behind FIELDLOCK® targets the #1 repair issue in the artificial turf industry world-wide. The breakdown in seams of an artificial turf field drives more field replacement nationwide, than any other factor. Over time as a turf field goes through heavy use, the glue on the seams weakens and the turf begins to come apart. Schools and parks departments nationwide are facing this growing problem as field’s age and more and more repairs are needed. Many of these fields are at or just beyond their warranty, which means the cost to repair the turf is now falling back on the owner, which can cost thousands of dollars. No current U.S. turf brands have a system designed to reinforce the installed seams on a synthetic turf field, until now.

For over 10 years DOC has focused its corporate resources on improving the quality and durability of artificial turf installations. The principals of DOC have over 50 years of combined experience in installing, repairing and maintaining artificial turf. Most of the industry competition has focused their on marketing developments in turf systems and not on how the fields are installed. DOC focused its resources into methods and systems to make the installation last longer to increase the value for its clients.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION PROCESS:

During the installation of an artificial turf field some of the main seams and most of the markings are installed after the turf is manufactured. All of the numbers, letters, hash marks, soccer arcs, logos and some lines are typically installed in the field during construction. Despite some of the very misleading marketing by some companies, 100% of the field markings that cannot be tufted in a straight line with the panel of turf are installed after the turf is made. It is during this most critical portion of a field installation that DOC leads the industry in the quality and performance of their work.

    When seams or field markings are being installed the backing of the turf has to be placed down into some type of adhesive product (glue, epoxy, hot melt etc.).
    If the backing of the turf doesn’t remain in the adhesive long enough for the product to grab it and hold it, the adhesion is not made properly and this area of the seam will typically wear out faster over time.
    The key to a quality seam is making sure there is solid and constant contact between the turf backing and adhesive being used to secure it.
    Controlling this portion of the installation work is extremely difficult for architects or project management companies, because different turf brands use different products and methods.
When you look at all these factors and add weather, a rushed construction schedule for companies who sell a lot of fields, it’s no surprise that turf seams have been such a challenge for the industry. In 2010 turf seams are still the #1 repair issue world-wide and why DOC has devoted so much of their corporate resources to addressing this issue.

FIELDLOCK® TECHNICAL OVERVIEW:

    FIELDLOCK® is the process of installing hundreds of Nylon Reinforcement Fasteners, down through the turf, through the adhesive product, locking the turf down to the seaming material under the field. FIELDLOCK® works with sheared turf systems as well.
    FIELDLOCK® holds the turf backing down in the adhesive material so it cures with solid contact creating an extremely high quality seam.
    FIELDLOCK® fasteners will improve the seaming quality of any installation process currently used in the market regardless of turf brand because it reinforces the standard process.
    FIELDLOCK® fasteners also reinforces the installation at critical wear points, because as fields age the adhesive strength weakens. The FIELDLOCK® fastener provide additional strength to the seam to help aging fields continue their use.
    FIELDLOCK® fasteners will help extend the life of a synthetic turf field, helping owners to put off the costly investment into a replacement field by up to one or more years.
“When you consider the investment in the FIELDLOCK® system is less than $ 10,000 per field, it easily justifies itself many times over given the cost of a new synthetic turf field.” stated DOC’s CEO Graham E Hayes II.

    On a typical American football field there are over 300 hash marks and DOC installs over 1,000 FIELDLOCK® fasteners in the hash marks, providing incredible value for owner of the field.
FIELDLOCK® delivers the strongest fields in the industry. DOC is the industry leader in systems designed to extend the life of a synthetic turf field and the only U.S. turf company with patented technology designed specifically for this purpose. Fields installed with premium installation quality and cared for annually should last for 9 to 11 years. DOC provides annual preventative care and maintenance as part of their standard field package and say owners of their fields will get use beyond the base warranty.

    Using FIELDLOCK® to reinforce all their seams DOC has maintained the lowest repair rating of any company in the industry, with many of their fields having had no repair requests since the original installation.
Most competitors advertise the names of well-known clients or major endorsements, but rarely do you see any one discussing their average number of field repairs or discussing how many fields they have been replaced in the last few years. DOC Sports Surface Contractors is dedicated to the quality of how artificial turf fields are installed and maintained, and happily discuss the performance of their work. This core focus and over 25 years of experience has separated DOC from the competition based on delivered quality and not how much advertising they do.

“We have never had to take one of our field’s installations out of the ground, and it’s because we focus on the quality of how our fields are installed, instead of how many fields we can sell. This industry is saturated with advertisements focused on the grass, but the key to any field lies in the installation. My partner and I have focused on advancing the installation process, to improve the durability of the fields and FIELDLOCK® is just the tip of iceberg on some of our technology. No turf product regardless of brand can overcome a poor installation and demanding a higher level of installation quality will help extend the life of a field.”

DOC believes once a field is installed coaches and players really don’t care what the brand name is, they don’t care how many NFL teams or major universities are using the same product; what’s important to owners is that their field remains in a quality playable condition for the life of the warranty. “In 25 years of working on these fields I have never had an owner tell me their field was falling part, but because we have XYZ brand they were ok with it.” The DOC line of synthetic turf fields featuring FIELDLOCK® come with 9 year warranty and options of purchasing an extended installation warranty for up to 11 years. DOC’s concept isn’t to have their field die in the 7th year so they can sell a new field at year 8. They believe if their fields last 9, 10 or 11 years the referrals they receive from exceeding their client’s expectations, will grow their business more than if their fields start falling apart in year 7.

DOC is the only turf company in the U.S. that manufactures its owner seaming equipment to ensuring it’s calibrated properly to their synthetic turf products. The relation between seaming systems, seaming equipment, turf products and the adhesives is very important. In 2009 DOC entered into an exclusive partnership with Akzo Nobel, to use their Proline T44 adhesive on all DOC fields. “We are so honored to have partnered with the world’s largest paints and adhesive company on the installation of our fields” states DOC President & COO Braddock “Doc” Boyd. “We have worked closely with their scientist testing and developing the proper use of Proline with our turf to ensure peak performance. Proline is very flexible in its use allowing us to install our fields in wet, dry, hot or cold weather which is challenging with other glue products. When we install our fields with Proline and FIELDLOCK® we know our clients are getting the best the industry has to offer.”

Proline is the only artificial turf adhesive on the U.S. market that comes with a Performance Warranty to matches the warranty of the fields. Akzo Nobel issues a warranty directly to each of DOC’s clients, in addition to DOC’s warranty guaranteeing the performance of the adhesive for the life of the field. If Proline fails and DOC is not around Akzo Nobel will cover the cost of the repair work for life of the warranty. No other U.S. turf company has anything close and combined with FIELDLOCK® makes DOC synthetic turf fields a very sound investment.
