Energy Saving LED Lighting in College

DePaul University in Chicago is the largest Catholic university in the United States and the largest private non-profit university in the Midwest. In order to save energy on the lighting system, they use LED lamps to replace metal halide bulbs in classrooms, sports fields and garages. The metal halide lamp has a power of 210 watts each, which is twice the energy required to operate a 90 watt LED.

In addition to saving 60% of energy, these LED bulbs are also almost maintenance-free, because these LED lamps have a life span of more than 20 years. These lamps are durable and can be used in any indoor or outdoor environment, such as bad weather in outdoor areas. Although the initial purchase cost of LED bulbs is slightly more expensive than metal halide lamps, considering that it can save us a lot of electricity and maintenance costs, this investment is worthwhile.

DePaul University has obtained considerable financial benefits from LED bulb replacement. Parking lot is a place that is particularly suitable for replacing LED lighting. You will find that there are still many parking lots using traditional halogen or metal halide lamps. Since most of the parking cars are operating 24 hours, the longevity of LED floodlights exactly matches the needs of parking lot lighting.

In fact, LED lights have been adopted in different places, and everyone can benefit from energy-efficient lighting, not just in commercial and school applications.
