		<description><![CDATA[I think its best to choose LED lighting these days. With the high demand of electric power every business needs something that could help cut back their expenses. And this one will help them minimize cost of power bills.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m just not going for it.  There&#039;s a lot of things that can be outsourced/turned into services pretty easily, but I&#039;m just not going for it for lighting.  LEDs are expensive now, but they&#039;re rapidly getting cheaper and they&#039;re not THAT much more expensive.  The benefit of it being a service just doesn&#039;t seem to offset the cost of the pains of having it be a service...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Solid State Capital Service offers capital leases for LED systems, and we also bring EPAct and Abandonment tax benefits to the table.  On a 200,000 warehouse the EPAct and Abandonment can offer $180,000 in tax deductions, that equates to $60,000 in cash at a 30% tax rate.  Don McDougall donm@sscsllc.com]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@sandman619 businesses already make provisions for utility expenses on their operations budget. The idea behind these contracts is that the lighting company sells the service for less than what is budgeted, but more than the new lower cost of energy running to the lighting sub panel. These types of performance contracts have existed for a while.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually businesses want to purchase something like this from their capital budget, which they have to spend anyway. Capital purchases have the benefit of not affecting a businesses monthly expenses budget too. Whereas, an ongoing service increases a businesses monthly expenses, between the two, this is usually a less desirable scenario
