As part of a Phase II energy conservation and sustainability project underway throughout campus, ASU's partner APS Energy Services replaced over 2,000, 150 W metal halide fixtures with Lighting Science's 78 W LED low bay luminaires. By replacing existing metal halide fixtures and lamps, ASU will reduce its energy consumption by 1.5 million kW hours, which is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions from 208 passenger vehicles.

Lighting Science's pyramid-shaped LED fixtures are made up of 108 light sources, whereby if one light source dims or fails, other light sources remain to provide a reliable level of illumination. The new fixtures are also less costly to maintain because they last 50,000 hours, or approximately three times longer than the typical metal halide fixture they replace.

announced that it has launched its new narrow optic (25 degree Beam Angle) product offering for its Par 30, Par 16 and MR16 Array? LED replacement lamp line and that it has received purchase orders valued at over $565,000 for Array? lamps in the last 60 days.

“Momentum is building on this exciting new product line, and with the launch of our much anticipated 25 degree lens offering – we are now able to address applications needing a more direct focus of light; including spot lighting of merchandise for retail stores, track lighting, and numerous other spot / accent lighting applications,” stated Mike Bauer, President & CEO of Nexxus Lighting.
