LIGHTING/FLOORING/SIGNAGE

Two major shopping centers are saving money and providing an enhanced experience for shoppers since the centers upgraded their outdoor parking lot fixtures to LED technology.

The Design Lights Consortium implemented a new version of its LED specifications (DLC 4.2) last year.

Networked lighting control systems have a high potential for energy savings.

Chain stores are notorious for their large consumption of energy, in fact, energy is the fourth largest in-store operating cost for U.S. retailers.

Specialty luxury retailer Barneys New York has been recognized for the lighting design at its new downtown flagship in New York City.  

Sainsbury's will become the first supermarket retailer in the United Kingdom whose stores will be lit entirely by LED lighting.   The retailer is partnering with GE's Current division in an extensive lighting upgrade. Current will upgrade 250,000 LED fixtures across more than 450 Sainsbury's stores, cutting the chain's lighting energy consumption by 58% and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3.4% annually.
