Raytec Lighting Cuts Schools’ Energy Costs 90 Percent
By upgrading 66 older metal halide lights in its schools’ parking lots and grounds to energy-efficient low-voltage LED illuminators from Raytec, the Western Quebec School Board, Gatineau, Quebec,has achieved energy savings of more than 90 percent.
Raytec illuminators, which provide energy-saving white light, are capable of providing lighting not only for CCTV systems but also for general area illumination. Based on the increased efficiency of the lighting, Raytec says the school board could save at least $16,000 per year in running costs and maintenance.
