BP Selects Lighting Science Group as a Preferred Supplier of LED Lighting for Gas
Stations in Europe
Ultra-Efficient and Long-Lasting LED Fixtures will Replace Inefficient Canopy
Lights
SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., Oct 05, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BP (BP) has chosen
Lighting Science Group Corporation's (LSCG) ultra-efficient LED fixtures that
have outstanding light quality and very long life-spans to retrofit gas station
canopies across Europe. Reduced maintenance, replacement and energy cost leading
to a short payback period make these projects a shining example of how businesses
can save money by buying green. BP operates approximately 40,000 gas stations in
Europe.
"With rising energy costs across the world, multinational companies, like BP, are
looking for ways to save energy--Lighting Science Group's LED products are a
perfect solution," said Zach Gibler, CEO of Lighting Science Group Corporation.
"BP chose Lighting Science Group fixtures for their European gas stations based
on performance, thermal management, quality components, cost and aesthetics. The
Lighting Science LED flat lowbay fixtures provided will improve both the
environment and BP's bottom line by delivering up to an 80% energy savings over
traditional lighting technology, such as HID fixtures, and will last
approximately 5 times as long."
Lighting Science Group's versatile Lowbay LED fixture combines high light output
with low energy consumption--85 lumens/watt--providing glare-free light for
warehouses, stockrooms, parking garages, gyms, hangars, tunnels, and canopy
lighting for gas stations where low maintenance is required for continuous
operation. Furthermore, the fixture is available with a dimming function and/or
occupancy sensors to provide additional energy saving options. To ensure
performance and reliability, the fixture was tested under the rigorous LM-79
process by an independent laboratory approved by the U.S. Department of Energy's
CALiPER program and is CE certified.
Lighting Science Group LED bulbs and fixtures are offered through lighting
distributors worldwide and directly by the company. To find your nearest sales
