CASE STUDY AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP

Why were LED � xtures speci� ed for this project?The architect, Frank Cushing of F.A. Cushing, Inc. design philosophy was to build a project as environmentally responsible and community friendly as possible. Utilizing LED � xtures for performance and energy-e� ciency helped achieve his goal.

What other types of � xtures were considered for this automotive dealership?At the start of the project, Mr. Cushing’s initial thought was to use a metal halide light source. From their experience it was the only way to achieve the desired light levels in the product display areas. Adam Lee, the dealership owner, directed a ‘green approach’ to all aspects of the site design. With that directive, the site was designed with LED for the reduced power consumption and maintenance costs.

Originally the front row of � xtures and poles were speci� ed the same as the interior � xtures. During the planning, the board agreed to change the front row � xtures to the AAL Providence LED in order to match the site lighting at the Municipal Center in Topsham. This maintained the community’s vision for the future of their Main Street.

Did the LED � xtures provide the desired performance for automotive dealership lighting?The performance of the LED luminaires and job was quite successful. While the traditional light levels for dealerships remained elusive, the uniformity and distribution of the LED lighting installed was far beyond anything that could have been achieved with HID light sources. In addi-tion to the exceptional uniformity and distribution, the ‘brighter’ higher Kelvin value of the LED and the lack of ambient light from o� -site light sources adequately com-pensated for higher traditional HID il-lumination levels.
