Beacon Products Completed a LED Outdoor Lighting Fixture Retrofit Project

Beacon Products, a division of Hubbell Lighting, a market leader in innovative lighting technology, design, and manufacturing for over 120 years, has recently completed a LED outdoor lighting fixture retrofit project for the City of Carmel, Indiana. Turned to Bradenton, FL based Beacon Products for guidance and ultimately the installation of its LED Retrofit Kit with Direct V Optics in all 800 of its downtown decorative post top lighting fixtures. After evaluating the options, including a test installation, it was determined that employing Beacon Products LED retrofit kits would not only save the city an estimated 48% in energy costs, it would also significantly cut down on greenhouse emissions, save on maintenance, and, just as importantly, provide the city with the fastest payback schedule. Based on these findings, a 90 Watt LED retrofit kit, from the company who was the first domestic manufacturer to introduce a full line of municipal-grade outdoor LED luminaries in 2008, was selected to replace the metal halide and high pressure sodium (HPS) light sources the city previously employed. The lighting project will also have a positive effect on greenhouse emissions with the expectation of saving some 600,000+ pounds of carbon dioxide annually. The LED retrofit kit lighting fixture application provided by Beacon Products has indeed been a win-win-win for the community of Carmel, Indiana, for its treasury, and for the environment.
