New Marco's Pizza LED lights cut lighting energy use in half
October 26, 2009
New Marco's Pizza franchise restaurants across Georgia that have been fitted with LED lights reported a roughly 50 percent decrease in lighting energy use. Greenlight Initiative (GLI), a USA headquartered LED-lighting sales and solutions provider, announced the successful installation.
Ronn Moore, Marco's franchise representative, quantified the value the lighting efficiency has offered him. "The prep counter area can be fully lit with four fixtures instead of the normal eight, the quality enhancement is noticeable and the 50 percent energy savings is valuable as Marco's expands," he said.
Mellina LLC, the design builder for the Georgia projects, reported that this first installation has been well received in terms of quality and energy savings, and represents the first of 80 new locations over the next three years to be lit entirely with GLI's qualified LED lighting solutions.
With Greenlight Initiative's approach, Mellina was able to replace the standard linear fluorescent fixtures with approximately half the number of Albeo Constellation 8-foot linear luminaires. In addition, GLI-qualified Array LED bulbs replaced the front service counter PAR lamps. Stores' lighting energy was resultantly cut in half, and maintenance was virtually eliminated.
Founded in 2006, and with offices in New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Kansas City as well as in Quebec, Greenlight Initiative's mission is to provide clients with LED and other alternative lighting solutions that can replace and outperform incumbent lighting technologies in terms of energy savings, durability, life and practicality.
