Imagine yourself ordering a medium rare, large, ribeye steak at a restaurant only to cut into it for the middle to appear orange and unappetizing. Or picture yourself at a fine dining restaurant that's so poorly lit your entire party has to take out their cell phones just to view the menu.

Everything you need to know about holiday lighting costs

Posted by Brittany Woodard on Dec 1, 2016 10:15:00 AM

This weekend, many of us will be climbing ladders, scaling our roofs, and wrapping the inside and outside of our house with holiday lighting. Whether you prefer a few strands hung on the shrubs in the front of your house or a display straight out of Christmas Vacation, in the back of your head, there's always that question – "How much is this going to cost me?"

What Regency's RISE values mean for expertise

Posted by Brittany Woodard on Sep 27, 2016 6:10:00 AM
  • Tweet

A few weeks ago, we touched on the topic of service and how Regency's values improve and drive our service. One of Regency's RISE values that doesn’t get as much time in the limelight is expertise. It may seem self-serving to talk about expertise, but it directly impacts our customers and it's an important piece of our culture.

We believe in investing in our people, technology, and training to create experts who are capable of meeting and exceeding your expectations. 

All feather-fluffing aside, isn't that what we all want?

If you were to walk through the office hallways or warehouses of Regency, you may not necessarily hear the term "RISE" used in daily conversation, but you will hopefully see it embedded in our culture.

We've coined our values "R.I.S.E," which stands for relationship, integrity, service, and expertise. Our values define how we do business and guide us in providing exceptional service.

10 lighting acronyms you should know

Posted by Brittany Woodard on Aug 3, 2016 10:35:00 AM
  • Tweet

If we've said it before, we'll say it a thousand times. The lighting industry is confusing. Between the countless manufacturers, types of lamps, product names, and descriptions – navigating through it all is no small task. That's why we're here. 

Acronyms can be overused or flippantly thrown about in conversations – especially in the commercial lighting industry. But that can leave people disoriented and blank. Typically, if I'm in that situation, I feel tempted to just nod along, pretending I know what the other person is talking about.

Can some LED street lights be damaging to your health?

Posted by Brittany Woodard on Jul 1, 2016 1:01:00 PM
  • Tweet

If you haven't heard the latest buzz about street lighting, don't worry. The Lighting Insights Blog is here for you.

Earlier this month, The American Medical Association (AMA) adopted guidelines for communities to follow on selecting LED lighting options. The AMA stated that some solid-state lighting in street lamps can have harmful effects.

High-density LED lighting can emit a blue-rich light that creates a worse nighttime glare than those produced by conventional lighting technologies.

This blue-rich light appears white to the naked eye causing the glare and reduced visibility causing a safety hazard. 

These white LEDs also have an effect on disrupting our circadian sleep rhythm by more than five times compared to traditional lighting. This disruption to your sleep can reach much farther than you'd think.
