LEDs but also includes daylight sensors to optimise the use of natural daylight

These LED products manufactured by Seesmart will be installed in retail stores, office complexes, warehouses and LED high bay light facilities within the first quarter of 2013. And Revolution Lighting Technologies expects to receive a second order totaling $5 million immediately thereafter.

According to Ken Ames, Director of Sales for Seesmart, “We are anticipating tremendous growth in 2013 as the millions of dollars of quotes in our pipeline begin to convert to sales. We have worked diligently in creating a solid network of 50 exclusive distributors and 300 representatives to educate the end-user about LED technology and its benefits.”

The company said that it has become the first supermarket in the world to install GE's new Lumination Linear Suspended lighting system, which not only takes advantage of highly efficient LEDs but also includes daylight sensors to optimise the use of natural daylight.

According to Sainsbury's, the new lighting will cut energy use by 59 per cent compared to conventional in-store lighting, delivering annual energy savings equivalent to that required to make 10 million cups of tea.The rollout is also expected to reduce maintenance costs and improve the shopping experience for customers by ensuring a uniform level of light across the store.
