FirstLightUPS Service Options

Many people are starting to take advantage of FirstLightUPS affordable UPS delivery.

Instead of shipping UPS units with FedEx Express or UPS Priority Freight, FirstLightUPS uses Air Cargo to a major airport and then local Courier for the final few miles.

Our FirstLight services gets the product to your local airport within 24hrs for you to pickup.  Or we can have a courier pick it up and arrange deliver that same day.

FirstLightUPS also offers AirGroundPlus service to remote locations far from the Airport.  Her we ship it to the airport and then have UPS ground pickup and deliver your item usually the next day. As an example we offered a customer in St George UT (2+ hrs from a major airport) AirGroundPlus service.  His 70lbs SUA1500RM2U unit would arrive in 2 days instead of 7 days for just $140 in shipping. The rate for traditional FedEx 2 day were $430.

This savings can be tremendous.   Look at this week's savings.   Traditional express services would have been hundreds more

• 200lbs to San Fran for $200 FirstLight
• 170lbs to Jamacia for $345 Next Day
• 70lbs to Monteagle TN for $98 AirGroundPlus
• 144lbs to NYC for $117 Next Day

The Sale that Never Was.... SUA2200 S&D for $339

I guess it started when yours truly, started barking that we have so many SUA2200s towers, but not a single one i could quickly sell and ship out one evening.  So many were missing bottom covers, had dents, and small cracks.  As I recall, I took nearly 10 out before i found one that could work on quickly.

So the Scratch & Dent Sale was set up for these guys.  We took photographs, redid the website and built a Mail Chimp spam email.  Then Super Salesman Nick.. called a few customers ahead of time and hours before the new campaign to start, we got an order for 10.

Sale Closed...

but we still have 1 more.... $339

Whats behind that exericycle , file box, and something.... ATTIC COLLECTION

Introducing our Attic Collection... Here we feature the oldest ups in inventory at a great discount.... Old sweater, not included.

The first item Eaton 5130 3000va 120v (p5313v).  

This 3u came in years ago when the 5130 first came out.  It was never used... But it had lost its faceplate.  We never got another one in.

Instead of its $559 price, we are offering it for 199$ NO BATTERY FACEPLATE....

Only available if you call or email us

Its snowing 1500s....

Wow, after getting nearly 70 Apc Sua1500rm2u in in November we did our big sale.   We sold nearly 45 in a few weeks.

Now we just got another 70 pieces.  With nearly 100 pieces available we continue our sale.   Never have we had so many.   Last year at this time we were scrounging for units..  selling them for $349 with a wait list.

Now they are $275 plus shipping

or InstaBuy them in Network Ready, Reseller Ready or BlackLabel with included shipping like in our November Sale.

Holiday Surges

Its Xmas time here at greenlightups, and we have seen lots of surges.

The first type of surge is Bad.... As we have reports from 2 clients that they have lost equipment because of electrical transient Surges this week.   While we sell UPSes, we also sell and install surge protection.  We have models from $99.  Don't wait until it's too late.

Surge 2 is the rush of holiday orders we are getting.  We did not expect so many people would want lumps of lead in their stockings.  We will be working like Santa'S elves to meet this surge.

Surge 3 is the increasing need for units to have peak capacity to power printers or equipment.  We call this a peak or surge rating.  If you have a piece of equipment that has a motor... Call us a free sizing. Don't surge your unit

APC Smart UPS Online SRT Released.... the 593g5

APC's long awaited new design for the Online Smart UPS has finally hit the US shores.  After being available in South America and Europe since earlier this year, a few have arrived.

While we dont know all the features, we noticed a few surprises on the 5k 230v version.
The US model will be called SRT5KRMXLT or 593g4 to us

• First, the LCD is a black, white and red design which looks really sharp.  
• Second, the SMT's use of banked outlets has been incorporated.
• Third, the SRT will use 192vDC battery packs which should mean RBC44s will work.  But they are calling them APCRBC140
• Fourth, the yield / PF has gone up, so you get 85watts per 100va unit of UPS.
• Fifth, there seems to be a network card built in on the unit.  

This 5kva unit we have isnt ours to sell, but look soon for GreenlightUPS to release a SRT version for sale at our customary 50% off list.

I need a 10kva 3phase Unit... why are you giving me a car

Recently a customer called needing a 3phase 10 kva.  He wanted feed a subpanel and was looking for a UPS solution that wouldn't cost $15,000.

While we have 10kva 3phase systems... I asked him Why he needs 3phase?   He told me that the subpanel was 3phase to the IT room and he wanted to power the entire 50-amp panel seamlessly,

I told him Good News!  I have a solution that is under your budget AND it includes a FREE new Car.

Because the solution was just a regular 10 kva unit and a single phase subpanel... I could throw in the new Nissan Versa for $11990 and still be under $15,000.

Remember, only buy a 3phase unit IF YOUR EQUIPMENT IS 3PHASE!   His IT equipment was all single phase servers and didn't need 3phase anywhere.   Just change the subpanel to single phase and our 10 kva unit will power all the loads.

While he passed on the free new car, he did take our Liebert GXT2 10kva with integrated bypass and split phase output.

GreenLightUPS Creation Number XXVII

It often begins with a customer request:  Someone wants a outdoor UPS.. the ToughUPS is created, Someone wants a 6kva unit that can roll around... the O Series is born.  Someone wants a thin tower.. the 302bt arrives.

The latest creation from the bowels of the GreenLightUPS lab is the Dell Online Tower.  We took the regular Dell Online UPS 3kva and changed the screen, added tower feet, and installed a twistlock backplate on the UPS.   Now the eO314L is alive and kicking... The first one left last week.. who will be the next owner?

FirstLightUPS is set to launch

After taking another UPS to the airport for overnight delivery... it made perfect sense to start advertising this feature.

FirstLightUPS's purpose will be to offer affordable overnight delivery of UPS systems.  FLU will keep a handful of popular models, tested, and prepped ready to go for next day delivery.  But unlike expensive FedEx, FLU will send units for nearly the same price as regular shipping.

Why?  Because, FLU ships to the airport overnight. Then you can pick up the item at the airport or we can arrange a local courier to do that.

Last night I sent a 120 lbs box to JFK for $104.  Standard 4 days shipping was $129.  FedEx Priority would cost $438.  FLU charges a $20 delivery fee to our airport  (its to buy me dinner at an amazing sushi restaurant on the way back from the airport)

So stay tuned to learn how FLU can meet your overnight UPS needs.
