GE supplies Albeo high-bay LEDs for Weber State Dee Events Center

GE Lighting announced that its Albeo business unit, acquired in November 2012, has supplied 80 ABHX-Series solid-state lighting (SSL) luminaires to Weber State University in Odgen, UT to light the campus Dee Events Center. The LED-based high-bay fixtures will save the university $40,000 each year in energy costs, and reduce maintenance cost as well especially given that the lights are very difficult to reach. Lighting sports venues is one of the last applications where LED lighting has made headway. There are many instances of major sports venues using SSL for decorative or entertainment purposes, or to light areas such as concessions or concourses. The Weber State projects, however, may be the most significant use of SSL products in lighting a playing surface
