NEPTUN LED Lighting Retrofit at Kansas City Convention Center Resulted in $6.3 Million of Savings

LAKE FOREST, Ill., April 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Kansas City Convention Center retrofitted all its exhibits halls lighting by installing 850 new LED Light Fixtures. Selection of Chicago area-based NEPTUN’s 400 Watt LED Highbays, Model 25400, to retrofit 1130 Watt legacy HID highbays, proved to be an excellent choice. The difference in power draw providing whopping 64.7% in energy costs savings alone and leads to $5.97 million savings of energy costs over 20 years of LED’s service life. The new NEPTUN LED Highbays don’t require service or maintenance during its entire service life, and this results in additional maintenance labor and material savings of $343,000. The environmental benefits of this lighting retrofit are equally impressive and equal to over 77 million pounds of CO2 removed from the atmosphere, or equal to over 67,000 cars removed from the roads. The specifications of the highbays are available at http://www.neptunlight.com/newsletters/201804/Product-Brochure-Neptun-LED-High-Bay-Convention-Centers.pdf.

Aside from real monetary and economic savings, this LED Lighting Retrofit provides, to the Convention Center, significant additional advantages and benefits. The new LED Highbays are equipped with noise-free LED drivers, unlike the legacy HID Highbays which are made with noisy and buzzing ballasts. The noise-free new LED lighting installed, creates opportunities for new kinds of events to be hosted at the Convention Center.
