A LIGHTING OVERHAUL FOR A COMMUNITY FIXTURE

THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT HEATS UP

Kenneth saw one area in need of improvement — the store’s lighting. He noticed that prices were difficult to read, especially on bottom shelves. And his vibrant products didn’t pop off the shelf like they should. Plus, their old lighting gave off a lot of heat, with their ceiling registering a blistering 268 degrees. With temperatures that extreme, Kenneth’s AC had to work overtime to cool that air. Then Kenneth had a bright idea.

“IT’S MORE THAN JUST A LIGHT. IT’S A BRIGHTER, HAPPIER PLACE AND LOWER PRICES FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.”
