Energy Efficient GroupThe LED’s that we carry save at least 50% and up to 70-80% of the energy required for traditional lighting. We are working with various municipalities to replace exsisting parking lot lighting with a viable LED alternative. Some street lights will use a smart module that will auto-dim the lights when no one is around to use them and when the lights sense motion, they will become brighter. This light system will provide major energy savings over traditional lighting. LED's require no extra energy to start up like compact fluorescents do. LED's can be set up with motion sensors to turn on/off when people need the light and becuase no start-up energy is needed, this system is very efficient. |
