Energy Focus Flicker-Free LEDs Bring New Light to Alabama Healthcare System
01 Agosto 2018 - 5:01PM
Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ:EFOI), a leader in LED lighting
technologies, continues to provide healthy lighting alternatives to
healthcare systems by completing an LED retrofit for an Alabama
hospital.
For a medical facility, something as simple as lighting can mean
the difference between life and death. Reliable lighting is
imperative in operating rooms, exam rooms, patient’s quarters and
hallways not only for accuracy, but also patient safety. However,
lighting can also be the single-largest energy draw on a
large-scale facility’s electricity bill. Since a hospital operates
24/7/365, so must the lights. Russell Medical Center in rural
Alexander City, Alabama needed a solution to reduce monthly
spending on energy while still providing its patients and staff
with the highest quality of light. Energy Focus in partnership with
LED Solutions, an Alabama based ESCO, won the bid for the complete
retrofit of the 319,000 sq. ft. hospital.
Prior to the retrofit, Russell Medical Center was operating
three 32W T8 fluorescent lamps with a ballast consuming 104W per
fixture. Over the facility’s 5,000 fixtures, Energy Focus installed
10,000 13W direct-wire LED T8 lamps reducing the total wattage from
104W per fixture to just 26W, cutting the lighting’s energy
consumption by 75%. The retrofit is expected to save over 40% on
Russell Medical Center’s total utility bill.
“This has been a very beneficial project for Russell Medical, in
not only saving the hospital money on energy costs, but also
providing a higher quality, better product for our patients and
staff. It was obvious switching to LED was the right solution after
working with Energy Focus and LED Solutions to complete this
project,” said Matt Fisher, Chief Financial Officer of Russell
Medical Center.
Reducing energy was not the only factor involved in specifying
the correct LED lighting for this project. Energy Focus’
flicker-free componentry and history of product reliability and
longevity were also major considerations in guaranteeing the
healthiest light for the medical facility. Since the retrofit,
doctors and staff have commented on the vast improvement to the
quality of light; making intricate procedures easier to execute and
they experience less eye-strain and fatigue throughout their
shifts.
“Being the choice lighting manufacturer for healthcare systems
like Russell Medical Center truly embodies the value proposition of
Energy Focus products. We continue to make strides in LED lighting
innovation and these strides are fueled by our desire to provide
the best lighting products for applications where quality, health
and performance really matter,” says Larry Fallon, Energy Focus
Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
