helping us get a big step closer to our sustainability commitment

We trialed the first installation of the new LED lighting in one of our local convenience stores in Scotland late last year and the initial findings were so positive that we decided to install it in our new Leek supermarket,” said Paul Crewe,Led flood light head of sustainability. “We are confident that it will deliver an enhanced shopping experience as well as significant energy savings, helping us get a big step closer to our sustainability commitment.”

“Good office lighting design doesn't call attention to itself but to the environment,” said Bob Karlicek, director of the Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center that is funded primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and headquartered at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university in Troy, N.Y., where GE's Lumination EP Series LED Luminaires were installed early this year at the behest of a department head fed up with dark and dingy fluorescent fixtures.

Karlicek recalled, “Our challenge was to install a state-of-the-art LED lighting solution to demonstrate what solid-state lighting can do and how it benefits occupants. We had a spot in mind in the Jonsson Engineering Center on RPI's campus. Replacing single T8 pendant-style fluorescent fixtures with GE's suspended LED lighting fixtures, we improved light quality and no longer have to replace old bulbs twice a year.


It's interesting because now people say, 'It got bright in here!' then ask, 'Is that new carpet?' and 'Did you paint?' or, 'Has that table always been there?' when of course we've done none of those things and the table was right there all along. Lumination EP Series Led high bay lighting will be in conference rooms at the institute as well. Karlicek noted the lighting fixtures, which are surrounded by a clear, narrow band that makes the light source appear to float, produce enough indirect (side) light to pleasantly illuminate walls without glare.
