LED-Driven Case Lighting

All of the freezer and refrigerated door cases at the Kansas City HE.1 store are illuminated by LED lighting. LEDs consume less than half the energy of fluorescent bulbs, last 3-4 times longer, produce significantly less heat than traditional case lighting and contain no environmentally harmful mercury.

The installation of LED technology in these cases is a direct learning from Walmart’s Aurora and McKinney experimental stores. LED technology is expected to add a 2 to 3 percent energy reduction in the HE.1 store, and will be rolled-out in new Walmart stores, Supercenters, Neighborhood Markets and Sam’s Clubs beginning this month.

More than half of Walmart stores use LED lighting in all exterior building signage, which can provide an extended life span of 12 to 20 years per bulb; saving energy and reducing the number of florescent lamps produced and disposed of each year.
