Customer Testimonials

"Renovations in the commons gymnasium were completed in April of 2002. Thirty-two 400 watt metal halide fixtures were replaced with thirty-two of Paragon's 8 foot 6-lamp T8 fixtures. These retrofits will save approximately $2,188 per year in electricity costs. The gymnasium is much brighter now. The new fixtures provide a pleasant wash on the gym floor and walls and distribute the light better than the halides. On April 30th, 2002 a team from engineering field division southwest visited NAVSTA Everett to perform a quality assurance evaluation. The project met with rave reviews."

"We have installed over 10,400 of Paragon's 8 foot industrial fixtures and lowered our lighting load by approximately 1.45 mega watts. Andersen Corporation expects its vendors to furnish excellent quality products along with excellent service. Over the past 8 years Paragon has fulfilled both of these expectations."

John Stesniak, Electrical Supervisor
Andersen Corporation

"This is what a top notch store should look like. Our vendors spend millions packaging the products we sell. Paragon's lighting has really made that work for us."
