Energy Focus is lighting the way with LEDs

After losing money for at least 15 years, Energy Focus decided to focus its energy on a particularly powerful customer: The U.S. Navy. Now the Navy is spending $15.6 million to replace some of its fluorescent tube lights with Intellitube LEDs made by the Solon-based lighting technology company. They cost more than fluorescents, but they're more efficient and they last longer — important qualities when you're in the middle of the ocean.
