How does the bill affect the use of fluorescent lighting?

According to the Colorado General Assembly, the “Clean Lighting Act” will phase out the sale of general-purpose fluorescent light bulbs that contain mercury. With certain exceptions, on and after January 1, 2025, a person shall not manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale in Colorado any linear fluorescent lamp or compact fluorescent lamp.

How does this affect you?

We recommend referencing House Bill 23-1161 bill to obtain full details.  Essentially, when a fluorescent lamp burns out, you will not be able to replace it with a new fluorescent fixture. The only option will be to replace the burned-out lamp with an LED alternative. The State of Colorado will likely perform regular inspections to uphold this regulation and report violations.

YESCO was in a recent spotlight by Defender Safety Helmets after adopting their new type II helmets: 

“YESCO , a 104-year-old company founded in 1920 by Thomas Young, continues to uphold its legacy of innovation and safety by adopting the Defender Safety H2 Type 2 Safety Helmet.

Isaac Gallegos, Safety Director at YESCO, has been instrumental in recommending the adoption of the new helmets: ‘We’ve received positive feedback from our employees about the helmets,’ said Gallegos. ‘They not only find them more comfortable but also feel that they significantly enhance overall compliance and safety.’

The Defender Safety H2 Type 2 Safety Helmet offers superior protection by guarding against both top and side impacts. This is a major step up from traditional Type 1 helmets, which only provide top impact protection. With the addition of chin straps, the H2 helmets also ensure the helmets stay securely in place during high-risk activities”. 

We’re proud to lead the industry in safety and innovation and will continue to prioritize the well-being of our employees and pave the way for future advancements.

YESCO announces it has completely retrofitted the colossal scoreboard at New Mexico State University’s Aggie Memorial Stadium with a new display made by Watchfire. Taking more than 1,600 man-hours of labor to complete, the scoreboard renovation was finished on Saturday, July 27, just ahead of New Mexico State University’s first football game of the season which occurred on Saturday, Aug. 31 against Southeast Missouri State University.   

The brand-new 31-foot-tall by 60-foot-wide brilliant LED display created by Watchfire includes a 10-millimeter pixel pitch. YESCO also fabricated a three-inch-wide steel frame to match the sign’s existing mounting brackets and manufactured aluminum end cladding, three mesh frames and faces at the top front of the display and one mesh frame system for the entire back of the display.

In addition to retrofitting the new signage, YESCO also removed and disposed of the previous A/C units and duct work, flex faces, existing sign cabinets, existing digital displays and existing sound speakers.

FUN FACTS:

• Since 1978, Aggie Memorial Stadium has been the home of New Mexico State football.
• With a capacity for 28,853 fans, the new video scoreboard can be viewed by all guests inside the stadium.
• The Watchfire videoboard can display more than 1.2 quintillion colors.

“Our team dedicated countless hours to ensure every detail of the new scoreboard installation was meticulously executed, enhancing the game-day experience for New Mexico State University fans,” said Jeff Young, executive vice president, YESCO. “We were elated to watch the cutting-edge LED display light up the field for the first home game of the season.”

“New Mexico State University has a storied history of excellence both on and off the field,” said Kyle Dines, Watchfire Vice President of Sports. “Watchfire is proud to be part of this legacy. After all, this video scoreboard is a bright, colorful milestone, sparking fan experiences and setting the stage for more unforgettable moments at Aggie Memorial Stadium.”
