PART 4 LIGHTING
22
Conversion of site lighting not only offers you, as an owner, over 70% energy savings but eliminates an existing light source that contains mercury and lead
Refrigerated coolers and freezers can easily be converted with LED fluorescent style tubes or Linear LED Flex product,
brightly lit it is now an inviting site to come in and gas up. As well there is a certain amount of safety attached to a clean, bright site which will increase traffic flow. In fact, statistics show there are a large per cent of sales and professional people that are on the road now that are female, and they will only go into a bright, safe site so it may as well be yours! This same scenario would apply to sites that have carwashes and for all the same reasons as just discussed on your site. Customers do not like nor will they enter a dark, dingy carwash tunnel at night or even in the daytime for that matter. This is one of the key reasons you now see new carwashes that are end to end, floor to ceiling glass windows. So it is impera-
tive that this carwash is bright and safe which only LED lighting can do on a consistent basis. Your profit centre is your retail store and making your store appear welcoming should be your main concern. Being “green” is an added bonus. How many times have you driven by a dimly lit convenience store and assumed that it is closed? You want your site to be brightly lit, inviting and sparkling clean. This environment gives your customers the appearance of a safe and clean location and enhances your site’s roadside appeal. So, after you complete your LED light updates you can be proud of your Carbon Footprint and feel satisfied that you are making an environmental contribution. No matter how small your change is, in the larger scale, it means a lot!
