We have covered the topic of LED lighting saving money for home owners and property owners associations many times but have rarely talked about larger properties like resorts or other larger properties. These could include spas, museums, parks, etc.
Below is a video from our friends at Kichler Lighting that talks about a project in Hawaii. Now I know that I’m in central Texas and it’s not Hawaii but the principles are the same. These properties can save a lot of money in energy but even more money in maintenance costs! Let’s face it, labor costs a lot more than electricity in central Texas but if we can save in both categories, then we’re that much better off.
On another note, we installed an LED lighting system for a local sub division where a halogen system was originally designed to be installed. I’m not actually including the project name because, to be quite frank, we didn’t design the system and we don’t really like the way it looks from a design standpoint. It was designed by an architect and not a lighting designer. Anyway, we were able to install a 100% LED system for a lot less money than the halogen system would have cost to install. Now this is a new installation and not a retrofit situation but it goes to show that LED is not as expensive as most people seem to believe and in some cases can actually be far more cost effective than any other light source.
We look forward to your comments below. If you own or operate a resort property, we might be able to help you. Contact us here.
