LED bulb implementation involves more than energy efficiency for local colleges

Local colleges and universities are putting strategy behind the implementation of LED lighting for more than just energy efficiency. LED light bulbs were built into the design of Ancilla College's new residence halls. They light the way for Irish when they play late at night in Notre Dame Stadium. LEDs illuminate the parking lot for students walking to their cars after a long day of studying on campus at Ivy Tech-South Bend. They pull hundred-year-old light fixtures at Saint Mary's College into the 21st century. Colleges and universities are quickly adopting LEDs as their new standard but it's not just the environmental impacts that are driving the change.
