Garage Lighting Project Update April 9, 2026

Critical Peake, the electrical contractor, has secured a grant from Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Enviormental Control. The next step is to secure a grant from Delaware Electric Co-operative.

Critical Peake has installed two light fixtures In Building 5's garage for testing.  The lights are motion sensing. The requirement is that the lights sense people and vehicles as they pass below. The lights will remain illuminated for 10 minutes after motion has ceased. 

The association wants to be sure that the lights work properly before installing 270 lamps. You will find these LED lights brighter and cleaner. They will not rust and they are vapor proof and therefore bug-proof.

The fixtures are 40 watts replacing 80 watt flouresecent fixtures. The main savings will be derived by the motion sensing feature. 

As soon as Delaware Electric Coop delivers their grant, installation in all garages will begin.  

Stay Tuned.
