September 14, 2005—Lighting Science Group Corporation has entered into an alliance with Amtech Lighting Services, a subsidiary of ABM Industries Incorporated, a multi-national facilities services leader, to install Lighting Science’s Optimized Digital Lighting (ODL) Low Bay lights and fixtures in facilities that ABM services, Lighting Science says.
The Low Bay product is designed for widespread, high volume use in parking garages, and other applications that require high efficiency, long lasting light.
Under the alliance, Amtech Lighting Services is marketing the ODL products to its customers under Lighting Science’s Shared Savings Program. As part of the Amtech Lighting Services/Lighting Science alliance, Amtech will undertake installation and maintenance of the ODL parking garage lights on behalf of its customers.
More specifically, Amtech Lighting Services is in the initial phase of introducing ODL products to some of its energy-conscious customers who operate 35,000 locations nationwide, and is beginning to test and install ODL fixtures at some of the 1,700 garages it leases or manages through Ampco System Parking, a subsidiary of ABM Industries.
The Company’s first ODL product for high lighting use facilities is based on light emitting diodes that burn approximately 61 watts and replace incumbent technologies that burn 100-250 watts. In addition to the energy savings, the 50,000-hour life of the ODL fixture is 3 to 5 times longer than the incumbent lighting, and substantially eliminates the ongoing costs to maintain the bulbs and the ballasts.
