Lighting Science’s Low Bay LED lights consume approximately 75 watts, roughly 60% less than incumbent lighting technologies. Additionally, the lights last 50,000 hours, or 5.7 years when switched on constantly, some 3-5 times longer than other types of lighting. Therefore, the LED fixtures are expected to lead to substantial energy and maintenance cost savings.
In addition, Lighting Science’s “solid state” ODL lighting solutions are environmentally friendly since they use less energy and do not contain any of the harmful gases used by some types of conventional lighting that require specialized disposal procedures.
Garages are substantial consumers of energy, and Merrill Lynch’s corporate campus garage is among the first to "go green."
Ron Lusk, chairman and CEO of Lighting Science, said "We are confident that Merrill Lynch will be pleased with the significantly lower energy utilization, longer life and lower corresponding maintenance than conventional fixtures."
