Smart Lighting Control
October 2012 - Context
Karl Chevrolet Dealership in Ankeny, Iowa is the 3rd largest Chevy dealership in the US at 1,307,815 square feet. The annual cost for lighting was enormous. Faulty lamps were constantly being replaced and 50% of the lamps were turned off after hours to save on energy costs. This in turn created non uniform lighting patterns that represented a security flaw as well as a non-professional look from dusk till dawn.
WHAT DID WE DO TO HELP?
All 316 lights were converted to high performance LEDs equipped with our RME smart wireless lighting nodes.
