RETAIL LIGHTING CASE STUDY

Rooms To Go: Brighter, Better, Safer

A turnkey LED lighting upgrade that improved visibility and reduced energy use at a Port Charlotte, Florida, retail location.

A Brighter Experience After Dark

As part of an exterior refresh, Rooms To Go needed to address outages and insufficient lighting at its Port Charlotte, Florida, location. The goal was to improve visibility for customers and employees while complementing the recently remodeled store.

Federal Heath managed the upgrade from consultation through installation, coordinating the site survey, lighting design, photometric layout, fixture options, payback analysis, and procurement.

THE FEDERAL HEATH APPROACH

Federal Heath coordinated design, lighting options, payback analysis, procurement, and final installation.

Photometric site plan for the Rooms To Go exterior lighting upgrade

More Light. Fewer Fixtures.

The front-of-store design replaced eight existing 400-watt metal-halide fixtures with six new 300-watt LED fixtures, reducing connected fixture wattage while improving lighting output.

The original case study projected simple payback in less than two years and no maintenance costs for the new LED fixtures for at least five years.
