Lockheed Martin is upgrading its Lake Underhill facility in Orlando,
Fla., with solar-powered streetlights from Carmanah Technologies
Corp. While building on the company's past successes with
energy-efficient lighting, this new innovation underscores a continuing
commitment to Lockheed Martin's commitment to reduce energy usage in its
facilities worldwide. The powerful new street-lighting system will be
supplied by HD supply and SESCO, Carmanah's lighting representatives for
the central Florida region. In addition to providing significant savings
on installation and wiring, the stand-alone lighting alternative is
expected to return significant energy savings during the next 20 years.
The decision to choose solar-powered LED lighting came as a result of a
facilities condition assessment. Upon determining that the Lake
Underhill facility's existing roadway lighting had reached the end of
its useful life, including all underground wiring, Lockheed Martin
identified a stand-alone solution as a practical and cost-effective
lighting alternative to trenching and wiring a new system of
conventional hard-wired lights. Based on earlier successes with LED
lighting installed elsewhere at the location, facility staff identified
a system of solar-powered LED streetlights as the best configuration.
Lockheed Martin selected a Carmanah EverGENA 1,520 solar-powered streetlight, featuring a bright, dark-sky-friendly BetaLEDA LEDway streetlight fixture.
