MT. PLEASANT, Wis. — Wal-Mart Stores has equipped a Neighborhood Market here with LED lighting to illuminate the entire store interior — from the sales floor and pharmacy to restrooms, vestibules and backroom areas — as well as exterior areas and the parking lot.
The LED lighting, including more than 400 CS18 LED linear luminaires, is supplied by Cree, Durham, N.C. Wal-Mart estimates that the LED lights will save approximately 30% in energy costs compared with interior fluorescent lighting. In addition the CS18 LED lights last more than three times longer than standard fluorescents, said Cree.
