Project Summary:
Relume was approached to provide a solution for a parking garage facility in an upscale shopping destination at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Having previously completed a 1,200-fixture retrofit in the summer of 2011 of four existing Easton parking structures, Relume products were chosen due to their value and superior product performance and quality. The project was awarded on the overall value of the fixtures and performance based on uniformity, low glare, ease of installation and energy consumption. Relume was also able to provide a 10 year warranty to help reduce life cycle cost for Easton.

Project Overview
[one_half][frame style=”modern” image_path=”http://spectrumledsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/fenlon-inside.jpg” float=”left” description=”” size=”portrait_thumb”][/one_half] One of the biggest problems with a parking garage lighting installation is the glare that comes with LED fixtures. The parkVUE 50HB was tested alongside other fixtures and was chosen for its superior glare reduction, uniformity of light with contribution to the floor and ceiling eliminating the cave effect, and its ease of installation, making it the clear choice for this project. The fixtures exceeded all expectations, and the owner’s team was very excited. Tons of Coal Saved @ 0.08 lbs. per kWh: 44,277 lbs. Gallons of Oil Saved @0.07 gallons per kWh: 38,742 gals. Pounds of Carbon Dioxides Saved @ 1.95 lbs. per kWh: 1,079,241 lbs. Pounds of Sulfur Dioxides Saved @ 0.008477 lbs. per kWh: 4,692 lbs. Pounds of Nitrogen Oxides Saved @ 0.004092 lbs. per kWh: 2,265 lbs. [hr_shadow]
Because Easton had already purchased Relume for their previous relight project, they believed that the parkVUE fixtures were superior to the original spec for the new garage. The local architect was familiar with Relume and the town center’s operations team wanted to design using the parkVue fixture. The Parking Garage Consultant desired a competing product instead. Using Easton’s existing garages as a sample platform, as well as lighting calculations and energy analysis the 50HB was selected for the new installation. “The fixtures have done an amazing job. The 50HB fixtures were so easy to install and bright the contractor used them as their construction lighting throughout the entire project. What is wrong with a parking garage going from a dimly lit space to a brightly lit, safe place? The parkVUE 50HB does just that,” said Kurt Beres of M+A Architects.
Annual LED Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Using Relume LED fixtures results in an overall savings of 60% annually, estimated at more than $50,000. Utilizing the savings in energy costs and additional estimated maintenance savings the project will have a projected simple payback of 3 years.
