Littleton Ford Plasma Case Study

(Smithville, MO)

About the Client

Dave Littleton Ford is a certified Ford dealership in Smithville. They have a large outdoor
showroom that needed new lighting to display their inventory in a more attractive light, while saving energy.

A total of forty 1000 watt and 400 watt HID light fixtures were replaced with 24 plasma fixtures and twelve 1000 watt floods were upgraded to pulse-start HID technology. Light emitting plasma fixtures produce bright, full color spectrum light for beautiful displays with a broad distribution, so fewer fixtures were needed to produce the desired light levels.

Benefits:

• Reduced fixture count
• Broad distribution of light
• Reduced 146,799 pounds of carbon dioxide
• 65 percent of project cost paid with rebates and incentives

Cost Savings:

• About $50,000 in rebates and incentives
• Annual kW savings of 79,288
• Annual utility savings of more than $9,000
