LED Spotlight

We have further expanded our line of residential LED lighting by adding many new LED spotlights for different fixtures in and around the home. These LED lights have the potential to save up to 90% of energy costs associated with home lighting.

Our new LED spotlights provide for improved energy efficiency in the home and give customers more options when choosing new LED lighting.  The new LED spotlights are compatible with nearly any standard lighting fixture, with bases compatible with all major light sockets.  The average LED bulb reduces energy consumption by up to 90% compared with comparable incandescent bulbs.  The bulbs also come in many common mounts, ensuring the bulb will fit into your fixture.

“Our expanded line of LEDs allows One Stop Green to provide a more complete lighting solution for our customers,” says Greg Boyce, our COO, “and these spotlights are some of the most affordable and have some of the best quality in the industry.”

OptiBlend Fuel System


We now carry the OptiBlend alternative fuel retrofit system for diesel generator sets.  The OptiBlend alternative fuel retrofit system allows diesel generator sets to run off less expensive natural gas or other alternative fuels.

The OptiBlend displaces diesel with natural gas or other alternative fuels, without modifications to the internal components or the stock fuel management system. The OptiBlend dramatically lowers operational costs, increases back up runtime capacity, and reduces NOx, CO2, and PM emissions. When required, the system allows the engine to run on 100% diesel.

The OptiBlend system requires no internal engine modifications or OEM control system modifications to operate with a diesel generator set and maintains OEM power output.  It uses a dynamic gas control system which optimizes displacement at multiple load points.  This provides maximum operational savings compared with the original diesel generator set.

One Stop Green, LLC, facilitates environmentally friendly improvements to residential and commercial properties through distribution of green, energy efficient products and services. Our goal is to provide practical, long-term, and economical solutions for existing and non-existing facilities while remaining dedicated to the principles of sustainability. Our mission is to help consumers take control of their energy options so they can reduce their carbon footprint and do their part for the environment, while protecting themselves against rising energy costs and taking advantage of valuable Federal tax credits and deductions.

Increasing Costs for Those on the Grid

Note - This article is by the newest member of the One Stop Green Team, Max Schweber.

South Dakota legislators are backing a so-called “metering bill” that will adversely affect utility companies and regulators, along with their customers. The bill proposes a cost increase for utility companies. Currently, utility companies pay a wholesale cost on service for residents who produce their own electricity, mainly through renewable energy means. The bill would increase those companies’ costs from wholesale to retail, significantly increasing their cost structure

However, utility companies and opposing legislators claim that the increase in cost would be passed down to customers on the grid who currently rely on utility companies for energy. This would thereby anger the great majority of residents in South Dakota who will be paying even more to cover the cost of those not currently using the grid for electricity. Although the bill has been called a “long-shot” by several sources, there is still a possibility that utility prices will increase for the greater part of South Dakota residents.

To avoid this increase in price, people should consider the possibility of using renewable energy sources for their electricity and heating in their residences. Sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal are renewable and therefore allow the user to be self-sufficient. Being self-sufficient, not just in South Dakota, will reduce one’s utility costs, reliability on the grid, and long-term impact on the environment.
