And a wide range of commercial requirements are catered to. In fact it's the commercial side where the greatest uptake is being seen. Partly that's because they can see the economic sense of spending more today to save big over several years. Plus, commercial clients see the savings in the longer bulb lifespans.
The City of Ann Arbor MI has begun trying out LED street lights. Downtown globe lights with LED lights have received positive feedback from citizens. Now the city hopes to cut its $1.39 million street lighting budget in half by switching to LEDs. And that's just the energy savings, not the maintenance crew savings, which should be substantial and allow crews to focus on more important projects.
Another benefit of LED lighting for commercial applications is the range of colors that can be achieved though software controls. The managers of the Empire State Building are considering a proposal to light the tower with LEDs now for that reason. It will enable them to change the colors remotely, more easily, and they'll have a palette of millions of colors to work with.
A further example of what can be created with LEDs is a Hybrid solar street light we now offer. It comes with a solar PV collector and batteries to store daylight energy in the day. Plus is can be fitted with 120 volt power that it will automatically switch over to if the battery runs down.
We now carry a full range of retrofit bulbs for medium bases including high lumen dimmable bulbs and a variety of floods as well as T8 strip lights to replace fluorescent tubes. We've even got LED pool lights and rope lights for architectural accents. All use minimal energy, produce negligible heat and offer excellent light quality.
