Energywise LED Solutions LED Bulbs

Auto Collision Specialists of Greely

We’re knowledgeable about car repair insurance, good repair facilities, child safety, the structural integrity of cars and trucks and so much more.

I am writing this Blog on behalf of the Company as we have filed a case against "Energy wise led" company because we spent on something which was not even a good for 3 months and our good name was spoiled due to such LED's. We wanted the best services across the globe. So we decide to got for "Energywise LED" as we heard that their LED's are cost effective and long lasting. The managing partner Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer are the biggest fraud ever. I will tell you what happened as you read on.

We signed a deal with "Energywise LED" and the way they treated us was like HELL because the services were given in a professional manner to us being a Commercial Client and we never expected this from an American brand because when we talk about American brand it's suppose to be class apart but "Energywise LED" are worst in class in all aspects. We never got a dedicated service guy to address our complaints and there was nothing we can call it has service to our company as we a repair insurance company and requre good sevice of the LED lights. Despite the deal was not of a small amount($55, 000) we did with them and still we got treated like worst than consumer client who deals in few Bulb's. The packages landed to us with the literature was with many best things written on it about the LED's but all we can come up with for "Energywise LED" is worst worst worst and worst.

LED's were low in power and high on Bills. 0 ratings when comes to enery efficiency and 0 customer service, infact we suspect they do provide any customer service because we never fekt that. "Energywise LED" has spoiled the name of the American LED market which makes us feel like we should deal with some other Country or a very trustworthy brand. We incurred huge loss and the utlility bills were extremely high. What kind of dealership were these partners into just fooling the companies and the businesses! I never expected this from them at all. We thought we made a great deal witht he company but it was the complete opposite!

Energywise LED Solutions Blane curry and glenn dormer scam!! Of energywise led

ATTENTION PLEASE! DON'T INVEST IN "Energywise LED"

After hearing alot about Energywise LED. I invested into this company to become a business partner but unfortunately this did not work out!

In the beginning I went to meet Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry – partners at Energywise LED after a long wait and we spoke about the

investment and the profits for couple of hours. Once I got aware of the business I invested $30, 000 and was promised that I would be getting

whatever the profit the company gets. I was asked by Glenn to keep intouch with Blane for all the formalities. The contract started, for the first

two months I received some money from the profit which the company got.

I got in touch with John and spoke to him about the money. He gave an explanation to me that the company didn't receive any profit as of yet

and next month whatever the profit the company gets I'll receive my share. I waited and waited and waited but I didn't receive any money. I

tried to meet the Glenn but was informed that he is gone on a tour and won't be back till after the Christmas vacation. This really made me

frustrated and angry.

This is how Energywise LED has ripped me off of my money and not receiving any profit at all! I was expecting to receive good profit for the

investment I made but nothing happened! They had said that I would get 90% profit to the investment I made but now I don't even have a single

PENNY of the profit! I am writing this so that people should be warned and this should be helpful for those who are looking forward to make

a good money in future by investing their Hard earned money as they will feel like what they earned has gone into wrong hands and they have

to FORGET the INVESTMENT they made. NO PROFITS ONLY LOSSES!. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FROM THIS COMPANY!

I am completely devastated by what happened with me! I seriously want action against Energywise LED!

Both Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry are CHEATERS and FRAUDSTERS and LIARS never ever trust his words! the company has a big

name but DOES NOT know how to do business and pay the investor on time and the amount promised! BIG TIME MONEY DIGGERS!

Blane curry – energywise led solutions – a commercial led distributor

I want everyone to take look at my blog and save a precious investment of their life if they have any plans do business with energywise led as they ripped me off of $30, 000.

Energywise led is nothing but just a piece of crap because i am going though a hard time ever since i started using energywise led's and their services. I don;t know what was the bad time of my life when i went for energywise led's because the led's are energy efficient and the effect is good when it comes to usage, but trust me guys your life will change into dark nightmare once you get energywise led's for your business. I was doing good with my business and my business was expanding until i thought of dealing with energywise led because ever since i have started using energywise led forget about expansion, my business is completely spoiled ever since i got this energywise led's because of their flickering led bulbs and no effect despite of using high power led's where as led's are suppose to look small and glow more but these led's are like looks big and glow's a little with frequent flickering effect as if my office is some horror movie set not a office.

I went to energywise led's because i heard about it and they have a good name in the market (Good name unless you experience yourself) as they are into production of led's from a long time. I fixed an appointment with the sales rep - deborah hennessy who's a trained on how to make the client's fool by promising huge expectations and crack a good deal of $'s which is her target. I met her for couple of times and she started sharing new offers with me till i bought her package for my office. She also booked an appointment with the managing partner blane curry as i was going to make a lifetime deal with the energywise led by her sweet talks and the ceo will also help me in expanding my business which is just a bluff to lure me to put more money with energywise led's which i did but claimed for charge back as i made the made the payments via my amex card.

I met and made a deal of $30, 000 for a set of led's in my entire unit and as a bonus they offered me some for my home as well which worked only for a week or two when i started using it for my home. Talking about my experience with office led's which are what i am still figuring out should we call this as led or just use and throw lamps. Led are suppose to be power savers on your electricity bills but energywise led's are power boosters as they consume lot of electricity and you'll keep wondering, did i get these led's to succeed in my business or fail. The worst part was flickering of the bulb's as if they are designed from a cheap technology because these day's flickering of bulb's in the usa is like a big insult toward the country and bad patch on your business because i lost several clients when they met me at my office for a business proposal. I never expected this will happen to my business after using energywise led's when i wanted them to raise this concern to their after sales service department i got nothing it was like a response in the beginning and later i felt like i never used titan led's because no response to my calls, emails when i went to the office to follow up on his issue i am facing with energywise led's they said where is the deal signed with us and when i showed them they said we never said that we guarantee that led's will work for some period of time. You wanted led's we gave you and also replaced when you complaint but doing it again and again will not work. It means i spent $30, 000 for period of 6-8 months and now i have to get new ones from them.

Guy's forget about the new one's i am not taking anymore led's from them and all you out there reading this blog. Never do business with energywise led's as the led's are not led's but just a piece of crap. Save your hard earned money and go for some reputed led firms which led's.

A year ago i have been to risk strategies insurance brokerage company and met the risk manager over there. He promised me all the insurance benefits. So i got convinced and paid a sum of $20, 000 to this insurance company for my hotel. When fire broke into my hotel he never paid me a dollar! Despite of getting in touch with the client several times i received no responses from him. They have taken all my hard earned money and haven't got any help from them!

After a week i approached the company and wanted to know what exactly was happening with me. They made me wait for two hours and still i got no proper response from them. I needed help very urgent and it was affecting my business. It took me 15 yrs to setup this business and everything was shattered in secs. Ever since the fire broke out i am after this insurance company to get the insurance claim what was promised to me but no signs of success in getting my money. I had lot of expectations from this but nothing seems to be working. When i got this insurance for my business i was promised as if the ceo will be paying me with his full guarantee on his own! But now when i am in need no one is around me to listen what i am going through.

Insurance company are suppose to be as a security to the business or whatever it's taken for but for me it turned out to be threat to my business. I started regretting with time but in vain. I had a feeling in my mind that this insurance will turn out to be as a good thing to my business during bad times but this makes me feel like i have put myself into trouble byt getgting his insurance and a huge loss.

I paid my premium regularly month after month i never missed on that. I always ensured to make the payments in time so that when a bad time comes there should be a security to my business but this will never happen with me and i'll never get paid because "risk strategies" are fraudsters. All they do is take money on the pretext of providing insurance to the business and when the time comes for paying coverage money they don't pay.

It's a humble request again and again to all those people out there who have lot of expectations from this insurance company of getting repaid. Do not go for this company as your good time will be f**** badly and you'll keep wondering why this happened with me but there will be no one to listen to you as you "dug your own grave". Never ever go for "risk strategies" your business and life will be at more risk than what you can imagine. I want people to beware about them. Do not go for "risk strategies". I want to get back my money as soon as possible!

I can’t believe I’m writing this but I feel its something that must be done. FAIR WARNING to any other company wanting to do business with Energywise LED or its owner Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry! We were recently solicited by these crooks to do an “audit” (essentially us letting them in our building to count every single light in it so they can try to prove how much money we’d be saving by switching to LED) that apparently we would have to PAY for. Are you kidding me? Why would we do that when, once we did our research, we found out that, not only does no other LED lighting company charge a fee to “audit” your building, but on top of that, we found out that virtually every other LED company around has better pricing than they do. And once I brought all of this to their attention? Well first off, all of a sudden the audit fee was waved. Somehow magically. And their excuse for their astronomically higher than everyone else’s pricing? They have all their LED lights (and I quote) “manufactured right here in the United States but use the cheap sh** from China, it will break on you at any given moment since they don’t have strict regulations on their products.

Glenn Dormer has Ripped me off my hard earned monies! I regret trusting Energy Wise LED Solutions for the promises they have made to me! I was promised that my business would get upgrade to brand new energy saving LED lighting with very little or no money in the pocket he said, as the savings of converting to LED are greater than the re-payments, Glenn told me that business owner essentially gets new lights paid for by their savings and eventually puts all the extra savings in their pocket. I believed this to be all true but it was just to take money from me. THEY ARE BIG TIME FRAUDSTERS!

I was asked to talk to the company's sales consultants for more details to see if I qualify for one of the programs they had after that I was told that I qualified for it and went ahead with doing the payments to them.

Everything was fake about upgrading to LED lighting as it is one of the best moves. I did not receive any return on the investments! which was promised it will be two-folds anywhere from 80-95%!

I could not believe how I became the culprit! and Energy wise has completely ripped me off of my monies! This has affected me really badly and my finances! I would want to warn everyone who is reading this post not to fall in wrong hands! Never believe whatever energywise LED has to offer you!. You can become the next victim!

Specially GLENN DORMER's false promises and manipulative behavior who is a big time cheat and a fraud has really affected me badly! The LED lighting from energywise is a very cheap product! No quality and no good product!

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE ARE BOGUS COMPLAINTS. It’s obvious these are bogus as they are posted by the same poster “SAMWILLIAMS0123”, “JOHN-BLAKE” & “PEARLROSE” within days of each other, multiple postings as a business owner and then posing as a homeowner.

These were posted by a former Rogue salesman of Energywise LED Solutions & Titan LED, Leonardo “Rob” Caruso who is currently out on BOND in LOS ANGELES COUNTY for misappropriating Energywise client funds and filing fictitious business statements under the company name to carry out his crimes. Leonardo Rob Dominic Caruso has orchestrated these posts and is being prosecuted in Los Angeles County, his case information is below.

CRIMINAL CASE SUMMARY
CASE NO: BURGA099369-01
DEFENDANT: CARUSO, LEONARDO DOMENIC
VIOLATION DATE: May 24, 2016
FILING DATE: August 4, 2016
Courthouse: Burbank Courthouse

Count 1 530.5. (a) Every person who willfully obtains personal identifying information, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 530.55, of

Count 3 470(d) Every person who, with the intent to defraud, falsely makes, alters, forges, or counterfeits, utters, publishes, passes or attempts or offers to pass, as true and genuine, any of the following items, knowing the same to be false, altered, forged, or counterfeited, is guilty of forgery: any check, bond, bank bill, or note, cashier's check, traveler's check, money order, post note,

http://www.ventura.courts.ca.gov/CivilCaseSearch/CaseReport/56-2016-00481041-CU-BC-VTA

Leonardo Rob Caruso is BAD NEWS and we encourage you to Google his name to see the laundry list of bad press on this guy in addition to what we posted here.

Not only do these posts appear to be written by a 2 year old (I hope Leonardo Rob Caruso’s English teachers from his alleged alumni of USC are not reading them) but they are nothing more than a lashing out from someone whose time is running out. The mere fact that he has posted personal pictures of the principles of Energywise further demonstrates that this is a personal attack. It is certainly not a coincidence that all the “bad reviews” have been posted in the last week – they are all false and Bogus!

Please ignore these ridiculous and nonsense allegations and rest assured that Energywise and its principles are successful businessmen with a long history of good business dealings. Please see our A+ BBB rating here http://www.bbb.org/santa-barbara/business-reviews/lighting-fixtures-retail/energy-wise-led-solutions-llc-in-westlake-vlg-ca-92015446. If a consumer or business owner has a legitimate complaint, there would definitely start with the BBB.

Energywise LED Solutions The ugly truth about led from energywise led solutions!

I Bought expensive LED bulbs at Home Depot. Foolishly did not keep the invoices – the bulbs eventually failed, far earlier than their promised

lifetime. My nephew had a similar experience ordering LED bulbs online. He bought them because he had high ceiling lights that were a real

pain to change, so long lived LEDS were naturals, even though expensive. He was very careful about keeping receipts. Out of 48 bulbs 32 had

to be replaced at least once – the electronics gives up and the bulb starts blinking before quitting. This is what Energywise LED Solutions is

selling in the market all pathetic and crap bulbs. which stop working in no time! On top of that these bulbs are very expensive to invest in!
It has been a great loss for me and my family.

I have read alot of reviews about thow bad these LED bulbs are from this company. and they are a fraud company. My nephew found out

about this later on when he got to know how bad the bulbs were working! The owners were cheating on their customers and also these were

made in China bulbs!

I got into partnership a with Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer everything was going good in the beginning. With time I felt like I was carrying more than the share of the work. Both Blane and Glenn have seem to lost interest in the business and it was like a pressure for me on the other hand! Whenever any meeting was held they seem to always disagree with my ideas. I focused on how to help both Blane and Glenn to grow the business. But they never cooperated with my thinking. Doing partnership with them was like getting into more mess. No proper organizational behavior was followed in the company.The team of people working were not at all motivated towards their work!

The employees always complained about not receiving their pay on time and the main problem was with their performance appraisal and incentives which they did not receive at all! All complained about the hardwork they were doing and not receiving anything. It was so frustrating and disappointing for every employee.

It was a very big mistake that I did by entering into a partnership with Blane and Glenn. I spoke to both of them one fine day to discuss all what is happening around! When the discussion started they all started to blame on me saying that after getting into a partnership with them. The business started to run badly because of me and nothing was going in the right way just because of me! They started playing the blame game! I invested $30, 000 to enter into a partnership with them and at the end I am the one going through lot of loss! I FINALLY DECIDED I WOULD WALK OUT OF THIS PARTNERSHIP AND CLAIM THE MONEY I HAVE INVESTED IN THEIR BUSINESS!

Glenn Dormer claiming with over 30 years of experience in real estate industry. But their service is so bad and they are a CHEAT!
I was looking for a real estate agent in Moorpark so I met with Glenn and Wendy to speak about my expectations from the kind of place I am looking for. I was promised that they would provide me with the accurate information on how to get a great deal on a home.

As I live with my husband and a daughter I was in search for a single family home and approached Glenn Dormer and started planning how to relocate to Moorpark. I met with the realtor from their team and discussed everything. Initially he was very cooperative and helpful and did everything that was asked.

I had the realtor put an offer down on a house. He lied to us about getting copies of the permits (he told us none were on file, The seller's agent had a major meltdown/tantrum during the inspection and threatened to not sell us the house, etc because we were 'asking too many questions' and 'touching things'. We walked away from that house.

We tried to get intouch with Glenn and Wendy but none of them were available. Called them several times and also send across many emails to discuss with them. These people were not at all interested in talking to us and helping us with our problem!

The realtor should have first discussed with the seller's agent and then discussed with us about the house. How could they be so irresponsible?. Claiming to have experience of 30 years in the real estate industry doesn't make anyone a good real estate agent!

These people are doing real estate business which is not beneficial to anyone at all. I wanted to move into this house with my husband and daughter, now it has completely shattered me as I won't be able to trust any real estate agent till I actually get the home!

The well known lighting distributor Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry of Enerygywise LED Solutions who is quite famous. I always thought that he is a dignified and a very respectable man. This is what I have personally experienced about him.

It all started back a year ago when I started working for Energywise LED Solutions. I met the distributor Glenn Dormer and was impressed by his professional attitude and his hardworking behavior of how he handled all his employees and co-workers. I was happy working for him as his personal assistant and used to carry out all his work on daily basis. He was also very happy with my work. We shared a good rapport.

In the month of July Glenn informed me that there will be a meeting held after a week with the foreign delegates who were coming from China. This made me start wondering what was going on? Why are people from China coming? These are USA made bulbs but why China now? So I started with all the preperations of the meeting. He was explaining me everything that needs to be done so I took care of everything and he was happy with that.

The day of the meeting came and all the businessmen from China arrived and I was with Glenn during the meeting. After sometime Glenn asked me to go out of the meeting room as he had some personal thing to discuss with the delegates. I went out and was waiting for him to call me back in. I was waiting for almost half an hour and suddenly I looked inside the meeting room from a small glass door to the side. I saw that the chinese businessman was showing Glenn some electrical parts which are used in the LED bulbs and Glenn took it from him and gave him money. I heard Glenn saying " Thank you Mr. Yin this is what I wanted for my bulbs". I was in a state or turmoil. I could see it was a huge sum of money could possibly be $30, 000USD to $35, 000USD. He quickly put it in his briefcase which he was carrying. I was totally shcoked to see this! Energywise LED bulbs claim to be made in the USA but this thing totally put me in dilemma. Glenn was actually getting the parts from China for his bulbs and claiming that it's the best quality bulbs made in USA. This behavior of his made me feel he was a BIG TIME FRAUDSTER!. Everything about his product is a lie and it's all fake. I also came to know that other people who did business and bought these LED bulbs also claimed that he is a fraudster and everything of his is fake! I have personally seen this happen and felt bad how these business people can cheat and lie!
NEVER TRUST THE LED BULBS FROM THIS COMPANY I HAVE SHARED MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT ENERGYWISE LED SOLUTIONS!

I am basically from Philippines and started working for Mr.Blane Curry. 8 Months ago in the beginning his behavior was good with me. He appreciated me for all my work and encouraged me for the small mistakes I did in the beginning. As the time went by Blane started behaving very rudely with me. I never expected this from him and thought he would always be good with me! Even though I was doing my work on time later I realized that his behavior was still the same and was giving me more and more work. He was totally behaving racist with me! My performance was better then the other employees working there but I came to know that just because I'm from Philippines he was being RASCIST. And giving bonuses and incentives to his other employees. This is so bad how you work hard and better then your colleagues and you don't get your part of the share!

Racism is one thing which really hurts a person's emotions and sentiments. Blane Curry's attitude and behavior towards foreigners made me quite upset. I want the money I deserve and want to make everyone aware what kind of person Blane Curry is! I am not the first person facing this kind of situation but there are few more who are facing this issue with Blane!

I have gone for the LED lighting from Energywise Green Solutions LED and was said they will be on the physical evaluation of

my facility based on the current utility bills and the relevant information. I was assured the LED bulbs lighting will result both

energy and cost savings of thirty to fifty percent in the lighting portion of the utility bill. I was so convinced and happy after

hearing all this!. I was really excited to get this for my place!

I was told that the audits will indicate the number of months necessary to achieve a recovery or return of the investment I make (ROI). I was also said the electrical engineers will provide with a detailed plan to accomplish the designated light levels as well as the right color temperature to fit the lighting.

I went ahead with this and in the beginning everything seem PERFECT! After a month there was no change in the utility bill as said it would be cost saving of thirty to fifty percent!..NO CHANGE! It was so shocking for me. I thought maybe it's the first month so i'll wait till the next two months and see what change happens.

Again the next month was the same no change infact I could see that the temperature of the lighting was higher then the first month! It was all going the total opposite of what was said to me! I contacted the customer care to check what was going on with this issue. I received no proper response from anyone at all. They made me wait over the phone so long for about half an hour! This repeatedly happened with me and I don't know who to contact and what to do about this whole thing!

I have invested a good amount for this lighting! Just to take the money from people they make all false promises and do lots of fraud! NEVER TRUST ENERGYWISE LED SOLUTIONS!

Blane Curry along with his managing partner Glenn dormer of Energywise LED Solutions are a fraud and a cheat. Never do business with with Both personally and professionally they are a BIG TIME SCAM! has cheated on many of their business partners, employees and customers. Claiming to be one of the top most LED seller, but they have a very very bad name in the market! Many have become the culprit of this scam. Their bulbs are all cheap, they use cheap parts for their LED bulbs claiming it to be the best in the market! Even records have shown that there are many complaints from the customers who have used these bulbs for their firms and business.

In the beginnning I even thought that this must be the best LED's which are sold in the USA market. But that's not really the case with Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer's Energywise LED bulbs. they are very very bad and in few weeks time go off. Many people who have invested in these bulbs are regretting! they want a refund and want money back. These bulbs are not at all cost effective and have incurred a huge loss to the investors, who had very very high expectations!

I want everyone to take look at my BLOG and save a precious investment of their life if they have any plans do BUSINESS with ENERGYWISE LED as they ripped me off of $30, 000.

ENERGYWISE LED is nothing but just a peice of ### because I am going though a Hard time ever since I started using ENERGYWISE LED's and their services. I don;t know what was the bad time of my life when I went for ENERGYWISE LED's because the LED's are energy efficient and the effect is good when it comes to usage, but trust me guys your life will change into dark nightmare once you get ENERGYWISE LED's for your Business. I was doing good with my business and my business was expanding until I thought of dealing with ENERGYWISE LED because ever since i have started using ENERGYWISE LED forget about expansion, my business is completely spoiled eversince I got this ENERGYWISE LED's because of their Flickering LED Blubs and no effect despite of using HIGH POWER led's where as LED's are suppose to look small and glow more but these LED's are like LOOKS BIG and GLOW's a little with frequent Flickering effect as if my office is some HORROR movie set not a office.

I went to ENERGYWISE LED's because I heard about it and they have a good name in the market (GOOD NAME UNLESS YOU EXPERIENCE YOURSELF) as they are into production of LED's from a long time. I fixed an appointment with the Sales Rep- DEBORAH HENNESSY who's a trained on how to make the client's fool by promising huge expectations and crack a good deal of $'s which is her target. I met her for couple of times and she started sharing new offers with me till i bought her package for my office. She also booked an appointment with the managing Partner BLANE CURRY as I was going to make a lifetime deal with the ENERGYWISE LED by her sweet talks and the CEO will also help me in expanding my Business which is just a BLUFF to LURE me to put more money with ENERGYWISE LED's which I did but claimed for charge back as I made the made the payments via my AMEX card.

I met and made a deal of $30, 000 for a set of LED's in my entire unit and as a bonus they offered me some for my home as well which

worked only for a week or two when I started using it for my home. Talking about my experiecne with office LED's which are what I am

still figuring out should we call this as LED or just use and throw lamps. LED are suppose to be power savers on your electricity bills

but ENERGYWISE LED's are power boosters as they consume lot of electricity and you'll keep wondering, Did I get these LED's to succeed in my business or FAIL. The worst part was flickering of the bulb's as if they are designed from a cheap techonolgy because these day's flickering of Blub's in the USA is like a big insult toward the country and bad patch on your Business because I lost several clients when they met me at my office for a Business proposal. I never expected this will happen to my business after using ENERGYWISE LED's when i wanted them to raise this concern to their after sales service department I got nothing it was like a reponse in the beginning and later I felt like i never used TITAN LED's because no response to my calls, emails when I went to the office to follow up on this issue I am facing with ENERGYWISE LED's they said where is the deal signed with us and when i showed them they said we never said that we Gurantee that LED's will work for some period of time. You wanted LED's we gave you and also replaced when you complaint but doing it again and again will not work. It means I spent $30, 000 for period of 6-8 months and now I have to get new ones from them.

GUY's forget about the new one's I am not taking anymore LED's from them and all you out there reading this BLOG. Never do business

with ENERGYWISE LED's as the LED's are not LED's but just a peice of crap. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY and go for some reputed LED firms which are actual LED's.

Energy Wise LED Solutions, is not a Solutions Based company it does not provide its customert with any solutions for their energy usage in the lighting space. With relationships with many of the highest quality manufacturers both in the U.S. and Internationally, Energy Wise LED has never found any suitable solution for its customers this is a lie from the company. Energy Wise LED customers consist of small to large businesses, office buildings, industrial facilities, government agencies, school districts, retail storefronts and homeowners which they are ripping them off!

This is not at all cost effective Energy Wise LED and its team of which claim to work hard to insure that their customers get the best product for their specific application. The Energy Wise team does not do this though claiming to provide a range of product lines to fit the customer’s needs! I have had a very bad experience with their service and the product is the most awful thing in the market!

I have a small retail store which I have started few months ago and wanted the LED bulbs for my store as I thought it is cost effective and would be one time investment with a warranty of long life. I never knew what was going to come up in the future would be a total disaster!
First of all starting the retail store costed me a fortune! and expected that the LED bulbs from Enerygywise LED Solutions would be a good one to go for. The lights life is very very short I would say 2 weeks!. Doesn't that sound so ridiculous!. who would even invest in such bulbs which last for two weeks and boom..third week you are on your own and start wondering WHERE DID I DO A BIG MISTAKE!.My store which is only few months old now I have to think what to do. I contacted the customer service agents but no response, I emailed them about my issue which was pathetic but no response again! I made an investment of $5000 for these bulbs! This company has ripped me off really bad!

NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO FOR THE LED BULBS FROM THIS COMPANY!

Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry the managing partners of Energywise LED Solutions have done lot of fraud with the business people who wanted to join hands with this company. This is a scam company and they are big time fraudsters! I never thought I would be writing about them. They don't know how to treat their employees and give them their bonuses on time! Treating their foreign employees badly being rascist towards them. If these business men behave in this way then how would the business run successfully?. Such companies should close down! they don't have any right to work in the USA market who can't fulfill their employees and customers needs and requirements.

The worst part about this company is they are selling cheap made in China bulbs and refurbished bulbs!.Is this what we are paying to get for LED bulbs?. Why do such companies even exist? Just to make money and grab money from others?. Is that what they are up for. This is a very very bad name to all the other LED manufacturer's in the market! ITS A WARNING FOR ALL OUT THERE never ever go for the LED's from Energywise LED Solutions. They make all false promises, sell fake bulbs and worst for the business people who are looking for these bulbs. This is the reason why I would never suggest anyone to go ahead with the LED bulbs of Energywise.

Both Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer are the most pathetic partners no one would ever want to work with them. Their behavior and attitude towards their employees is way too bad! They don't know how to treat them with respect and don't even pay the employees on time for the amount of money they deserve! Many employees were promised comission based on the sales they make even they never got their comission paid.

They are fooling the customers to buy their bulbs by saying many things which are far worst than what we can imagine. There are many people who tried to do business with them and complained about the amount of money that was taken from them. some claimed $20, 000..$30, 000 and the figure keeps on going there is no end to it!

My name is Natasha Harrell located in Los Angeles, CA. My life was going good until I met BLANE CURRY at seminar

conducted on employee training program. This happened right after I completed my Graduation and when I was working for an

INC and the seminar was conducted by my firm. I was very happy with my life as I got work right after I completed my

graduation without reference, I was selected per my skills and attitude. The pay scale was good too as a fresher. I was

enjoying my time that INC. It was 12th March 2012 when I attended this seminar which was beneficial for all employees

associated with our office and it was a special seminar as we got a time off during working hours. I sat for this seminar and

everything was good like facilities, returns, investing saving where we can get good output. The time came when BLANE

CURRY introduced himself to us. He looked like a good human who's a very professional guy who just wants to talk and get

his work done. I was listening to him and he all of a sudden he pointed his fingers towards me among all those sitting for the

presentation to ask me about my experience and views about this. I was happy and stunned too because I never spoke in a

crowd of 300 people putting up ideas and views and so got concious a bit it was kind of a phobia for me as I never expected.

He'd never choose me to talk.

As a teenager i won many high school beauty contest and was always an attention grabber among 10 beautiful girls from our

class. He gave information about me as if he's spying on me from college days. I am still wondering how did he got to know so

many things about me. It was a planned move by him to tackle with his big talks and lure me towards his firm Energywise LED

Solutions. This was not only the case and he had many things in his mind and I was his target to fulfill it in all apects because of

my bold and beautiful looks. I spoke to him after the seminar was done and he specially called me to have a word and offered

me a job with "Energywise LED Solutions" as his personal secretary. I joined the firm and started moving on with my work,

soon we became good with each other. I found him a professional guy who's just concerned about getting the work done

ASAP. We use to talk a lot when it comes to work but there were no personal talks at all. In the beginning i felt everything is

good with him but soon I realised that was just a trap to fool me to do all the things whatever he was aiming for was like a

PERVERT.

All of a sudden his behaviour changed the guy who never spoke to me at all became so friendly with me he's to sit on my seat

whenever he used to call me in his cabin. I realised this when it was too late, I use to go to his cabin and he started behaving

friendly with me cracking jokes some uncensored one's too on which I use to just laugh and leave but this was his PLAN to

gauge my reaction and thinking as I never reacted much because I was concerned about the work but he started this all of a

sudden getting touchy and coming close to me for something even if there was nothing. I didn't bother much because I had a

boyfriend whom I got married right after this incident. He used to call me to his cabin and use to stare at me which he never did

before. One fine day as part of his plan BLANE CURRY called me for lunch and after the lunch we were suppose to go for a

Business conference in a Hotel conference room. He had also booked a Hotel suite for both of us individually so that I am

comfortable. He went into his room because we were suppose to be ready for the conference but it was just a STRATEGY

because he wanted me to get to the hotel so that he can make his cruel intentions come true. When I went for a shower and

came back I saw him in my room, God knows he came out of nowhere and barged into my room. I was in my Bath robe. I told

him to excuse till I get ready instead he came more close to me and grabbed me tight. It was unexpected because I'd never

thought BLANE CURRY would do that with me. I tried to set myself free but he caught me so tight that I couldn't even move.

I had a water Jar next to me which I hit on his head due to that impact he was unconcious and by the time I changed my

clothes and ran away. As a matter of fact BLANE CURRY is a Psycho Man and he he's a man with this thing in the mind that

women are power less.

PLEASE don't go for Energywise LED Solutions and never meet the PSYCHO named BLANE CURRY at any cost.

In June 2016 my husband and I signed a contract with Mr. Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry the managing partners of Energywise LED Solutions. We Paid few thousands dollars in deposits, invested in advertising in the area etc. thinking we are investing in a serious company. Very soon we realized there was never an intention from Energywise LED Solutions to grow business together they telling lies and making false promises, but to have a control of the funds we were depositing into our account. We discontinued cooperation with Energywise LED Solutions, and still are owed $3, 000. After multiple attempts to contact Mr.Blane, the actual license holder, who never bothered to reply, and few phone calls with Mr. Glenn Dormer who promised he would send us the check for the money owed, we are still waitng. We have been waiting for a year. We are filing a lawsuit agains both of them. We wish we knew about this website before signing a deal with Energywise LED Solutions, after reading other scam reports, we would not be ripped off today.

I bought Energywise LED bulbs a couple years ago for a fixture in my bathroom that needs 5 bulbs. Not a cheap investment, but I assumed that even though Energywise LED bulbs were near the bottom of the line regarding life expectancy, if I got even close to the longevity promised I would be happy. After a year the bulbs began turning off for hours at a time and coming back on. With 5 bulbs I figured if half are out at any time I can still get by. Last night I walked in and when I turned the switch on it was like an old time camera flash went off followed by darkness. My wife and I are trying to research online and find a good LED bulb to replace these Energywise LED with. But how can I believe any promises or reviews? Reviews on Energywise claim they last 13 years and I have 5 that I bought that haven't lasted 2! I'm just frustrated.This is such a pathetic company I regret why I made an investment in these bulbs! They don't even have proper customer service and response to the complaints the customers are making! The bulbs costed me alot they are not at all cost effective!

Energywise LED Solutions are very cheapED bulbs they are the cheapest quality bulbs!. I saw their bulbs online and thought of going ahead with it as it seem to be good quality bulbs. I never thought that the bulbs would be really bad and would keep flickering! These bulbs came with a long life warranty. within two months it started showing its bad quality! I had done alot lot of investment for my new house and now these LED bulbs were going off one after another! I tried to speak to the customer service agent of Energywise LED but there was no response from anyone! I had written several emails to the complaints department of the company. NO RESPONSE from anyone at all! What the hell is wrong with these people?...ignoring their customers!..such a cheap company!. trying to hide themselves for the bad LED's they are selling. I wanna get back at them and want a refund! I can't take such nonsense specially after a big investment!

Both Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer are the managing partners of Energywise LED Solution. I entered into a partnership with them to grow the business and come up with new and innovative ideas that would help the business grow. Everything was going good with time. Later I realized what a big mistake I did entering into a partnership with these people Blane and Glenn who are fraud and cheats! I have seen very closely how the manufacturing of the LED bulbs takes place! They use the cheap material from China and that's why many people who buy these bulbs have a problem with the LED bulbs. There is no long life of these bulbs.

And now coming to the partnership part I was promised many things by both Blane and Glenn. They have been fooling many people by their false promises and I have been one of them who has faced the same problem. After becoming their partner I came to know that earlier there were many people who have become partners with them and left the business! I did not receive any of the profits, after enetering into the partnership they never shared with me proprietary information, patents, trade secrets, business practices, and customer lists. How filthy they could be making someone their partner and not even sharing any important information with him. Why?. Because they were involved in fooling people and cheating on them not to leak their secrets of maufacturing cheap bulbs.

When entering into the partnership I had paid a huge amount of money to them for it $20, 000! I had a lot of expectations from them. I wated to grow with the business infact I realized I wasn't growing and not achieving anything from it. It turned out to be completely opposite of what I had expected from the company! Glenn and Blane are very very smart and know how to play their cards safely! I don't want anyone to fall prey to their lies! They know how to manipulate the minds and making them believe their words!

Now all I want is my money back from these FRAUDSTERS! MY $20, 000 WHICH I HAVE GIVEN WHEN ENTERING INTO THE PARTNERSHIP!

Good day friends, I am Brother Danny and I walk in the light of Christ. First off, this Caruso worked for your company and if he was stealing or doing a poor job, its YOUR responsibility to correct him or even fire him. But it appears that he was cheap labor so you kept him and that's a terrible reflection on you. I know this because I worked for 2 lighting companies that did energy conservation projects across the States. I did this for over 10 years after I retired from the Marine Corps. I even worked in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor where I supervised the project of replacing incandescent light bulbs to LED bulbs. Yes, the claim that these bulbs do last longer than incandescent ones but they cannot be used in dimming fixtures or in recessed or enclosed ceiling lamps. The problem is that if the lamp is one that dims, the required voltage affects the life of the ballast because it is forced to work harder to try to get the lamp to not flicker over a period of time and will reduce the life of the bulb. In addition, when an LED is placed in an enclosed fixture, the ballast will heat up and over the course of time, the lamp will fail. They do make dimmer LEDs now. But when it comes to the enclosed LED lamps, there is no LED lamp that can handle the over heated ballast. It sounds as though the quality of the lamps is also an issue. I learned about all these issues as a Project Manager during the replacing of lamps in 37 high rise barracks where each room had up to 7 lamps each. Some with dimmers and some with recessed bulbs. Having a rating of A+ with the BBB means zip unless complaints like these go through the BBB and they investigate. If no one complains directly to the BBB you automatically receive the A+ rating. So, your assumption that because you have that rating doesn't mean there's not bad things going on behind the scenes. During my tenure as a Project Manager, I fired crew members due to a number of factors. Bottom line is that I was in charge and it was my responsibility to answer to the customer and make things right. Putting the blame on someone else is equally wrong if you kept him on the job. Also, using the bottom feeders of the LED lamp world doesn't provide an adequate excuse for not performing the project as required by the customer. If that happened to me, you bet I'd be knocking on the door of the BBB and other complaint websites in order spread the word that your work is less than satisfactory. I know a consider amount of the energy business from linear lighting, as well as, LED lamps to HID lamps and fixtures. Work ethic is paramount when working with customers and problems will arise when using cheap lamps. I recommend that all these individuals (if that is what they are) seek out a decent lawyer, team up with others who experienced the same situation and file a class action lawsuit against the lighting company for faulty work, faulty lamps, poor workmanship, and ignored complaints. I'd give that couple back their refund ASAP as that may be the lever that drops the panels for a hanging. $3 grand is a far cry from $5 grand to as much as $10 grand. Not to mention legal fees, court fees, and lawyer fees because you will lose. I don't have to tell you that you are in the wrong and need to correct ALL the issues immediately or you may be out of business in no time. Remember this; you - yes, YOU! are solely responsible for any and all work you've done as the judge will only want to know what you are doing about the situation. Judges don't care about excuses and generally will favor the plaintiff when you are aware of what needs to be rectified and have done zip to help the customer. If I was in the customer's position, I'd get myself a solid lawyer and drop the bomb on you and your company. I would also go on every website and post a complaint beginning with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) until I have destroyed your company name and put you out of business. Refund their money and repair/replace the damage and you might survive. A class action suit will devastate you, remember that as well. Good luck with that. Selah.

Brother Danny, how and why you came upon this post and found the need to comment accordingly and without any factual basis and not being an Energy Wise customer makes you likely as big of a fraud as Rob Caruso. You use the internet to provide autonomy to hide behind your keyboard, why don't you provide us with your exact legal name, your contact information and your e-mail address so that we can quickly and easily discredit you likely ever having served in the Marine Corps or any other military, much less being a "Brother" in any church or viable religious organization? What you did, when and how you did it have absolutely NOTHING at all to do with our company, our products, our business means and how we manage our customer expectations and their ultimate satisfaction. Your comments are unfounded, unwelcome and are borderline slanderous.

http://www.ventura.courts.ca.gov/CivilCaseSearch/CaseReport/56-2016-00481041-CU-BC-VTA

Leonardo Rob Caruso is BAD NEWS and we encourage you to Google his name to see the laundry list of bad press on this guy in addition to what we posted here.

Not only do these posts appear to be written by a 2 year old (I hope Leonardo Rob Caruso’s English teachers from his alleged alumni of USC are not reading them) but they are nothing more than a lashing out from someone whose time is running out. The mere fact that he has posted personal pictures of the principles of Energywise further demonstrates that this is a personal attack. It is certainly not a coincidence that all the “bad reviews” have been posted in the last week – they are all false and Bogus!

Please ignore these ridiculous and nonsense allegations and rest assured that Energywise and its principles are successful businessmen with a long history of good business dealings. Please see our A+ BBB rating here http://www.bbb.org/santa-barbara/business-reviews/lighting-fixtures-retail/energy-wise-led-solutions-llc-in-westlake-vlg-ca-92015446. If a consumer or business owner has a legitimate complaint, there would definitely start with the BBB.

Please take a precious minute of your life to read my worst experience with - energy wise led solutions llc

I am writing this blog to make everyone aware of this business out there who are cheating with usa citizens hard earned money. The energy wise led solutions llc are the big time fraudsters who has ripped me off for $40, 000.00, I am small time business man who runs a after hours calls forwarding service for a few shopping portals. I heard about this company dealing with led blubs for commercial purposes so thought of getting a quote for my office as I had set up a new unit for which I needed roof led's, desk led's for my office. I fixed an appointment for the deal and went to their westlake ca unit to get the quote for my office and some discounts as I had was going to be their lifetime customer because I was doing good with my business and the staff of energywise led solutions llc called me up several times as they heard I am going to make an investment of $20, 000 seems like they never made such a big deal in their life because the way they treated me like a king and when the time came to provide the after sales services there was no one to look after my state as they had the money and I had the product from them, the cheap crap led's from them. Calling such lights an led is a huge insult to led as led's are cost effective when it comes to electricity bill and highly effective when it comes to working but the led's from energy wise led are just waste and good for nothing and keeps flickering I had 2 more figures added to my electricity bill which made me lose many things along with a huge loss in my business.

This is how it started, I went to make a deal with them and the sales rep also told me that since we have decided to make you our lifetime customer we have scheduled a meet with our one of the most important person with energy wise led and his name is glenn dormer. I was initially happy as I heard the name glenn dormer as he holds a good position with this firm. So we met and he treated me as if he will come and take care of those led bulbs himself if anything goes wrong but soon I are realised that was trap to make me show things which are never going to come true. I made a deal signed a contract which is just a piece of paper and we can never get anything out of it as I can't file a claim with that and got fooled for $20, 000. The leds were good for a first couple of months just like the services from energywise led solutions llc and glenn dormer but as the time passed when I started making use of it with the time I realised it's made out of cheap quality and no one should ever buy such led's because it will hamper your godd time. I also made a deal for another $20, 000 like a fool because it was glenn dormer associated with it who was looking after me personally and kept seding me emails for a more offers. I should have realised at the time when I had recieved the second consignment from them for $20, 000 which was double of the first consignment of $20, 000. But guys I was blind as they build up that trust of themselves of portraying as a business tycoons. Trust is the most important factor where anyone can cheat with us and energywise led solutions llc have earned masters in that.

Especially talking about glenn dormer he's the master mind behind this who's spoiling the name of led's by proving cheap and useless led's in the usa. At first you will be under the impression that you are king the way they treat us but with the time the services and quality of their led's will make you realise that you are nothing and contract is just a joke their after sales services not only sucks but also we can say no after sales services as they will never respond to our queries when they get to know we are facing issues with led's they will put your contact into block list and email will bounce bacl to you, you'll feel like there is not such email address exist and you'll wonder is there anything named "energywise led solutions llc" or that was nightmare which broke out like a bruglar into your house and took away everything forever for which you can;t even take any actions as the paper works is just a piece of crap.

I need everyone to read this and save their hard earned money and beware of fraudster's called energywise led solutions llc infact the name should be energywise led "problems" llc because there is no solution once you get this piece of crap led's made out of nothing, I should add even chinese led's are better they are not even fit to called as chinese quality it's worst than that.

Do not ever go for energywise led solutions llc forget about signing a deal but don't get their their single product not even for wc purpose as your bright life will soon turn into dark nightmare if you install this at your home or office.

I have this LED bulb from Energywise LED Solutions in my bathroom and this morning, the base of the bulb started on fire. Smoke was everywhere... I was able to luckily remove the bulb, despite the fact that the glass was melting away from the base. (The wattage is not too high for the electrical socket, nor was it located next to water or any other possible hazards, and it was clean.) Thank God I was home. From what I am seeing online, it is a known issue that these bulbs are prone to fire. I'm investigating class actions- this could have seriously hurt my family and my home, yet appears to be an issue that Feit is not addressing since a number of these complaints stem from 2014.

I seriously don't know how these people can made such cheap bulbs. I heard alot about the bulbs before I purchased it and now within no time they have started to flicker and glass melting from the base OH GOD that is a big risk to small kids in the house!

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE ARE BOGUS COMPLAINTS. It’s obvious these are bogus as they are posted by the same poster “SAMWILLIAMS0123”, “JOHN-BLAKE” & “PEARLROSE” within days of each other, multiple postings as a business owner and then posing as a homeowner.

Leonardo Rob Dominic Caruso has orchestrated these posts and is being prosecuted in Los Angeles County, his case information is below.

Leonardo Rob Caruso is BAD NEWS and we encourage you to Google his name to see the laundry list of bad press on this guy in addition to what we posted here.

Not only do these posts appear to be written by a 2 year old (I hope Leonardo Rob Caruso’s English teachers from his alleged alumni of USC are not reading them) but they are nothing more than a lashing out from someone whose time is running out. The mere fact that he has posted personal pictures of the principles of Energywise further demonstrates that this is a personal attack. It is certainly not a coincidence that all the “bad reviews” have been posted in the last week – they are all false and Bogus!

Please ignore these ridiculous and nonsense allegations and rest assured that Energywise and its principles are successful businessmen with a long history of good business dealings. Please see our A+ BBB rating here http://www.bbb.org/santa-barbara/business-reviews/lighting-fixtures-retail/energy-wise-led-solutions-llc-in-westlake-vlg-ca-92015446. If a consumer or business owner has a legitimate complaint, there would definitely start with the BBB. Energywise has a long list of satisfied clients that they will be happy to provide to insure you are confident that quality products and service will be delivered when you do business with them.

Energywise LED Solutions Energywise led solutions has ripped me off my hard earned money!!!

Glenn Dormer has Ripped me off my hard earned monies! I regret trusting Energy Wise LED Solutions for the promises they have made to me! I was promised that my business would get upgrade to brand new energy saving LED lighting with very little or no money in the pocket he said, as the savings of converting to LED are greater than the re-payments, Glenn told me that business owner essentially gets new lights paid for by their savings and eventually puts all the extra savings in their pocket. I believed this to be all true but it was just to take money from me. THEY ARE BIG TIME FRAUDSTERS!

I was asked to talk to the company's sales consultants for more details to see if I qualify for one of the programs they had after that I was told that I qualified for it and went ahead with doing the payments to them.

Everything was fake about upgrading to LED lighting as it is one of the best moves. I did not receive any return on the investments! which was promised it will be two-folds anywhere from 80-95%!

I could not believe how I became the culprit! and Energy wise has completely ripped me off of my monies! This has affected me really badly and my finances! I would want to warn everyone who is reading this post not to fall in wrong hands! Never believe whatever energywise LED has to offer you!. You can become the next victim!

Specially GLENN DORMER's false promises and manipulative behavior who is a big time cheat and a fraud has really affected me badly! The LED lighting from energywise is a very cheap product! No quality and no good product!

The well known lighting distributor Glenn Dormer of Enerygywise LED Solutions who is quite famous. I always thought that he is a dignified and a very respectable man. This is what I have personally experienced about him.

It all started back a year ago when I started working for Energywise LED Solutions. I met the distributor Glenn Dormer and was impressed by his professional attitude and his hardworking behavior of how he handled all his employees and co-workers. I was happy working for him as his personal assistant and used to carry out all his work on daily basis. He was also very happy with my work. We shared a good rapport.

In the month of July Glenn informed me that there will be a meeting held after a week with the foreign delegates who were coming from China. This made me start wondering what was going on? Why are people from China coming? These are USA made bulbs but why China now? So I started with all the preperations of the meeting. He was explaining me everything that needs to be done so I took care of everything and he was happy with that.

The day of the meeting came and all the businessmen from China arrived and I was with Glenn during the meeting. After sometime Glenn asked me to go out of the meeting room as he had some personal thing to discuss with the delegates. I went out and was waiting for him to call me back in. I was waiting for almost half an hour and suddenly I looked inside the meeting room from a small glass door to the side. I saw that the chinese businessman was showing Glenn some electrical parts which are used in the LED bulbs and Glenn took it from him and gave him money. I heard Glenn saying " Thank you Mr. Yin this is what I wanted for my bulbs". I was in a state or turmoil. I could see it was a huge sum of money could possibly be $30, 000USD to $35, 000USD. He quickly put it in his briefcase which he was carrying. I was totally shcoked to see this! Energywise LED bulbs claim to be made in the USA but this thing totally put me in dilemma. Glenn was actually getting the parts from China for his bulbs and claiming that it's the best quality bulbs made in USA. This behavior of his made me feel he was a BIG TIME FRAUDSTER!. Everything about his product is a lie and it's all fake. I also came to know that other people who did business and bought these LED bulbs also claimed that he is a fraudster and everything of his is fake! I have personally seen this happen and felt bad how these business people can cheat and lie!
NEVER TRUST THE LED BULBS FROM THIS COMPANY I HAVE SHARED MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT ENERGYWISE LED SOLUTIONS!

Blane Curry and Glenn Dormer who runs the business Energywise LED Solutions are big time Fraud.They cheat people with their so called LED bulbs which are made in china. I have had a very bad experience with their electrical. On the other hand apart from doing fraud in business they also treat their employees very badly. They don't pay the workers on time and treat . I have been one of them. I started working for Energywise LED long back, although being a very old employee they always compared me to the new employees. Always degraded me at my work in one way or the other. This has really put me down and made me really upset. They demotivated me in every possible way. In the beginning they made false promises with me that if I do my work well they would promote me to the supervisor's level. I put all my hardwork. They are bloody blood suckers! who only know how to make false promises and make the employee work hard and hard without giving them their bonuses! Apart from their behavior towards their employees they also ARE BIG TIME F****** FRAUDSTER IN THEIR LED BULBS. As being an ex employee I have seen lot of customer complaints regarding their products! They are spoiling their own name by doing this kind of business.

I would want to warn all the people out there not to use their LED bulbs which are chep keep flickering in few weeks time.

Both Glenn Dormer and Blane Curry have done lot of fraud and still doing it with many business people, with their employees and the customers. They don't know how to run a business. Specially with the employees who are working for them they should treat them with due respect and give them appraisals. I never ever expected this from them. Every person out their whether a customer and employee or a business person would go by the big name of the business.They may have a well known name but actually they are frauds and cheats which is hidden behind their BIG name!
