Dealer Jack Tarr Visits the ADG Induction Lighting Factory in Chatsworth, CA - ADG Eco High Performance Induction Highbay shown in foreground illuminates Gerald & Jack with 5000k of good quality light.

Jack Tarr, Eco lighitng dealer and Green General Contractor visits ADG Eco Lighting Products in Chatsworth California. Jack’s more than 40 years experience as a General Contractor spans, Residential to Commercial and Military construction Jobs. He has worked on US Coast Guard Projects and other installations in the South Bay.

Jacks interest as a induction Lighting Dealer began when he met Gerald Olesker at All Cities Network in Los Angeles, CA. (all cities was founded by wrestling promoter Eric Shaw when he left PNG/ Provisors)

Jack has been an advocate in Manhattan Beach pushing green issues and green construciton. His wife is a former Mayor of Manhattan Beach.

Recent projects include the Strand House restaurant former Beaches Restaurant by Zislis Group. ADG Eco and Architectural Detail Group were brought into the restaurant design process to aid in lighting fixture design and implementation. see picture below. Larry Drasin is the Designer of Record.

Energy efficiency was a Key part of the conversations. JT consturction also works with LED, Solar, Mold mitigation and other sustainable construction issues,

Jack Tarr, Induction Lighting Dealer of the South Bay is currently working with Mattel in El Segunda for unique blending of Eco and sustainable lighting needs and solution based manufacturing specifically for tier needs. Jack says” this is where ADG Eco excels and enables lighting Dealers such as us to bring strong solutions to our clients”.

Induction Lighting Systems Saves Big Money

By now we all know that Eco-Friendly, Energy Savings and Sustainability are all contemporary verbiage used to excite and bring you into the commercialization of Saving Dollars. With Earth Day coming up this April 22nd, we thought it would be an appropriate time to let you know about induction lighting systems as another way you can conserve energy and save significant additional money off energy bills, because we do care.

Technically speaking, an induction lighting system is viable and significantly more eco-friendly lighting solution that uses innovative technology in a system composed of three different components that work together to combine the principles of induction and gas discharge to deliver over 100,000 hours of white light. This system is historic, conceived by Tesla and now available for cost savings, yet, contemporary and innovational with today’s technology. According to Dave Miller, patent holder, “Induction lighting is based on technology that is fundamentally different from conventional gas sources or incandescent lamps. Instead of electrodes used in gas discharge lamps or the glowing filament of incandescent, light generation is by means of induction- the transmission of energy by way of a magnetic field – combined with a gas discharge.”

Not only that, an induction lighting systems also offer the following energy saving and maintenance benefits:

• There are no filaments or electrodes as in conventional lamps that are exposed to the effects of heat, vibration malfunction, or high electrical potential, and as a result are subject to deterioration of performance and finally to failure.


• Because the induced magnetic field can easily pass through the glass wall of the lamp bulb, no throughput wires are needed as in incandescent or discharge lamps, where the glass/metal junction is another vulnerable failure ar


• The high frequency power supply to the primary coil at 2.65 MHz – well outside normal broadcast and communication radio bands – ensures highly efficient energy transmission between the induction coil and the gas and metal vapor filling of the lamp bulb. Radiated energy levels close to an induction lighting system are no higher than from a distant radio transmitter while the UV radiated power is no more than that of a standard fluorescent lamp of the same power.

By the by, the economical benefits are significant: ADG also just completed a study that found for a big box store’s domestic chain, over a 12-year period we would create a savings opportunity of approximately $300,000,000 and 815,300 KW saved per year per big box, for 407,650,000 kWh throughout its locations in the U.S. The ROI (your Return on Investment) is increased when considering the savings in maintenance costs. The additional savings average’s increase will vary up to 11%. Eco-Friendly Bulb change out will occur at an average of 100,000 hours vs. the typical10,000 hour average to those ugly compact fluorescent. Also, every watt reduced in your lighting system results in a one-third watt reduction in your A/C load, while A/C is running.

Trying an induction lighting system is just one of many to help celebrate Earth Day this year. ADG urges you to think about your environmental impact this April 22nd, even if it’s a simple an act as turning off the light when you’re not in the room.

From Sienna to Los Angeles

From the rooftops of Siena, you can gaze upon the Mediterranean, much like Southern California’s close proximity to the beach, making Southern California the perfect climate and location to emulate the inspiring buildings of Siena.

When Gerald was a young architect, backpacking through Europe he found inspiration in the architecture of Siena, which he has translated to the work he does today.

The railings and ironworks of Siena are hand-forged, making each detail slightly imperfect and very unique, a concept that Gerald routinely uses in his fences, railings and other iron details.

As you gaze upon the piazzas and churches of Siena, geometric shapes and patterns emerge, which Gerald has translated into geometrically shaped lighting, like that used in a recent estate project mentioned in last week's Blog.

Inspired by the similarities between Siena and Southern California, Gerald has made a perfect mesh of imperfect iron details and lighting elements to translate a Mediterranean aesthetic to American soil.

When is an imperfect fit Perfect?

We are posting these photos and notes with a special thanks to the Client who understood that imperfection was perfection and that rails and iron in an estate like this would not be perfectly plum and that the lights may be slightly out of skew while other light and decorative iron elements are crisp and concise. This is an Estate that all should take notice of and applaud the architectural team ~ home owners and inspirational individuals, Thank you for letting Architectural Detail Group’s made to order division and http://www.adgironworks.com/ participate.
