LEDs Ripe For Installation

As LEDs continue to improve, convenience store retailers are biting the bullet and signing on for upgrades in order to reap cost saving thanks to both implementation rebates and overall energy cost reduction. Tonawanda, N.Y.-based NOCO Express, which operates 35 locations in Western New York, rebuilt its Getzville, N.Y. location in 2013 and added energy efficient lighting to the new state-of-the art 6,300 square foot store. The Getzville store includes low-watt LED lighting, a refrigeration energy management system, and white roofing for increased light reflectivity. A light harvesting system was installed, complete with 16 skylights, which allow natural light to flow into the store.
