Beacon Products (www.beaconproducts.com), a division of Hubbell Lighting (www.hubbelllighting.com), a market leader in innovative lighting technology, design, and manufacturing for over 120 years, has recently completed a light emitting diode (LED) outdoor lighting fixture retrofit project for the City of Carmel, Indiana, an upscale community just north of Indianapolis.
Like many communities throughout the Unites States, the city fathers in Carmel, searching for ways to save energy and money, and in the process become "greener," turned to Bradenton, FL based Beacon Products for guidance and ultimately the installation of its LED Retrofit Kit with Direct V Optics in all 800 of its downtown decorative post top lighting fixtures.

Prior to retrofitting the lighting, Beacon Products personnel conducted a thorough economic study comparing the costs of new fixture replacement versus the retrofitting of existing fixtures. After evaluating the options, including a test installation, it was determined that employing Beacon Products LED retrofit kits would not only save the city an estimated 48% in energy costs, it would also significantly cut down on greenhouse emissions, save on maintenance, and, just as importantly, provide the city with the fastest payback schedule.
Based on these findings, a 90 Watt LED retrofit kit, from the company who was the first domestic manufacturer to introduce a full line of municipal-grade outdoor LED luminaries in 2008, was selected to replace the metal halide and high pressure sodium (HPS) light sources the city previously employed.
According to David Huffman, Director of Public Works, "The city of Carmel has gained many benefits from this (lighting) conversion including reduced stock requirements (8 SKUs have been eliminated) and, with LEDs that last 50,000 hours, dramatically reduced maintenance requirements."
The lighting project,With the help of led lights both a local electrician and a lighting consultant, she has recently installed a $5,000 LED lighting made possible through The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program of the Department of Energy, will also have a positive effect on greenhouse emissions with the expectation of saving some 600,000+ pounds of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to taking nearly 100 passenger cars off the road and the recycling of 144 tons of waste instead of land filled.
Summing up all of the promise and positives of their new LED luminaries,OceanLED is by fluorescent lights far the most popular and most widely distributed marine lighting brand in the world (installed in June) represent, Melanie Letz in Carmel's Department of Community Relations said, "The LED lights provide improved directional illumination for (our) pedestrians, motorists, and downtown business. The LED retrofit kit lighting fixture application provided by Beacon Products has indeed been a win-win-win for the community of Carmel, Indiana, for its treasury, and for the environment."
