Better Light, Lower Costs: The Landing Mall Retail LED Lighting Case Study

The LED upgrade of outdated lights produces better security and a stylish modern look while eliminating maintenance headaches. High quality LEDS and additional energy saving controls will pay for themselves in only 1.4 years and will produce over $1 million in savings over 10 years, while the lights and fixtures will last up to 30 years.

The Opportunity:

• A Block & Co managed property
• Project completed with Landing Venture Associates
• Outdated lights inside were inefficient and unappealing metal halide and T12 flourescents
• Exterior parking lights did not produce enough light, resulting in multiple dark spots.  The high wattage metal halide and high pressure sodium lights are extremely inefficient.
• All lights required constant, expensive maintenance.  Costs included maintenance staff, replacement bulbs and ballasts, and equipment used to access tall lights on ceilings and in the parking lots.

The Solution:

• Upgrade of all lighting in common areas, center court, parking lots, dock, exterior wall packs, and Tres Bliss
• Interior & Exterior
• Eliminated Fixtures in Certain Areas
