Newly installed LED lights illuminate an
office high rise in Orlando, Fla. and a hospital in Johnston, Pa.
What do the two projects have in common? In both cases, the energy-efficient light fixtures were assembled in Moville, Iowa.
A small two-story brick building on main street houses a manufacturing plant and warehouse for Energy Tech Solutions.
Headquartered in the Madison, Wis. suburb of Monona, the small business was started seven years ago by Moville native Rob Everhart and his wife, Cynthia.
Energy Tech is among a growing number of U.S. businesses trying to capture a share of the large, emerging market for LEDs, which can last for a decade or longer and produce as much light as old incandescent bulbs but at a fraction of the energy cost.
Due to the high upfront expense, LEDs are still years away from making a dent in the residential market,Buy Battery Operated bikefrontlight, Batteries, Rechargeable Battery Candles, and Chargers at deep discount. but the return on investment is making the fixtures more and more feasible for commercial uses, especially for decorative outdoor lighting.
Three part-time workers staff Energy Tech's Moville plant, which makes four main LED products, and ships them to customers in every state and several countries.
Energy Tech is working to diversify its product line, increase production and add more local jobs, Rob Everhart said in an interview last week.

The Northwest Iowa site replaced manufacturing jobs previously outsourced to Mexico.
"We determined we could actually do it more cost efficiently, and have better quality control and better response times than building them in Mexico,With the largest selection of bluebright_9 available online, Lighting Universe lets you add a tasteful touch, a shrewd contemporary twist." Cynthia Everhart said.
Rather than lease or purchase a manufacturing facility in the Madison area, the Everharts decided to extensively renovate the 71-year-old Moville building, which they purchased in 2001 as an investment property, shortly after they married.
"We did the entire build-out for a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to have a facility like that here in Wisconsin," Rob Everhart said.
The shift toward domestic production has allowed Energy Tech to tap into a surging demand for U.S.-made LED lights, said Cynthia Everhart, who owns the small business, while her husband serves as an energy consultant.
