Replacing existing fluorescent lamps in parking indicator lights and streetlights with highly-efficient LITEK PROLED fixtures, Featuring Cree XLamp? LEDs lights, helped to reduce energy consumption by 65 percent, with an estimated 70 percent savings in energy costs.
"We are glad to be part of this project. We are committed to promote the power of LED technology in streetlighting, as well as other functional indoor and outdoor applications," said Fabio Facchini, general manager of LITEK. "Apecchio is a successful example Both for the city itself and for other municipalities that are keen on saving energy and money."
"We welcome Apecchio into the LED City program and applaud its efforts to make energy-efficiency a priority for its community," said Deb Lovig, Cree LED programs manager. "We congratulate the city Council and the community for taking a bold step in achieving Significant energy savings, especially given the growing global need to conserve energy."
About LED City
The LED City is an expanding community of government and industry parties working to evaluate deploy and promote LED lighting technology across the full range of municipal infrastructure to:
