Holiday Inn Old Town in San Diego and Casa Romantica in San Clemente, Calif. has installed LED light tubes to reduce energy and maintenance costs.They retrofitted their T-8 fluorescent lights with ilumisys MK-1 LED light tubes at both facilities, which will result in nearly $4,000 in energy costs savings annually for Holiday Inn Old Town and more than $10,000 in annual savings for Casa Romantica.
Holiday Inn Old Town replaced more than 200 fluorescent light tubes in areas that operate 24/7, including its subterranean parking lot and stairwells throughout the building. Casa Romantica, a registered historic location frequently used for special occasions, retrofitted all of the fluorescent, incandescent and halogen lights on its property to ilumisys LED lighting. The LED lighting was installed throughout the facility including in offices, storage areas, art centers, galleries and common areas.
ilumisys MK-1 tubes have a lifespan of 50,000 hours, twice as long as the average fluorescent tube. The longer life of the LED tubes provides supplementary savings by reducing the need to purchase new product. This also reduces the amount of time maintenance employees spend changing lights, allowing them to be better utilized by engaging in more important activities. For Casa Romantica, this was a key contributing factor in its decision to install LEDs.
Holiday Inn Old Town and Casa Romantica benefited from a zero-out-of-pocket" financing program through their local utility company, which helped to keep initial costs at a minimum.
