by Rebecca Walker — February 6, 2009—Orion Energy Systems Inc. has introducing parking lot lighting system designed to take energy savings and better lighting outdoors.
The fixture boasts fluorescent lamps that reduce users’ energy consumption by 50 percent or more while significantly increasing light levels in comparison to the legacy high-intensity discharge lights that are used in most parking lots today.
Orion expanded its product line to include the outdoor fixture as another way to help customers save on light-related energy costs. It is estimated that there are well over 20 million parking lot lights nationwide. According to a study conducted for the US Department of Energy, only 4 percent of the parking lot lights in the US are energy efficient fluorescent fixtures. As a result, parking lot lights consume 22.2 billion kilowatt-hours per year, which could be reduced by 50 percent or more with Orion’s technology, according to the company.
Orion Energy Systems Inc. is a leading power technology enterprise that designs, manufactures and implements energy management systems, consisting primarily of high-performance, energy-efficient lighting systems, controls and related services for commercial and industrial customers.
