The 63-watt difference per fixture translates to an average $8,500 monthly electricity savings for Johnny Janosik, which also qualified for an led linear high bay light program rebate by adopting more efficient lighting prior to year's end. Energize Delaware offers a variety of avenues for commercial businesses to become partners in Delaware's sustainable energy future.

"GE worked hard to show us what our savings would be and closely coordinated with Energize Delaware to fully realize our refund opportunity," said Dan Ringer, CFO for Johnny Janosik. "At each step along the way GE was a valuable partner to have in our corner."

Rated for 25,000-hours life, GE's PAR30 LEDs will further mitigate maintenance spending at Johnny Janosik where halogen lamps had lasted between 3,000 to 5,000 hours, requiring once-a-year replacement of burnt bulbs at a cost of $5 each-an annual $20,000 investment.

"Six months after the store opened in 2006 we entered a constant state of changing lights," recalls Ringer. "Every day there were led high bay light going out, and when you have several thousand you just can't keep up on it. We're relieved that won't be an issue any longer for years to come."
