BEAVERCREEK — As part of a $50 million remodeling project at four supercenters in the Dayton market, Meijer announced said its Beavercreek store is the company’s first to feature all-LED lighting, saving the company more than a half million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
The GE LEDs being used inside the store are 30 percent more efficient and have a lifespan that is 50 percent longer than traditional lighting. Additionally, GE’s exterior lighting is 70 percent more efficient than lighting typically used in retail settings. In total, the all-LED lighting system will save an estimated 600,000 kilowatt-hours per year, the company said.
The Beavercreek supercenter is considered a test store for this high-tech lighting and could be used as a model for future construction, according to Meijer Engineering and Construction Director Mitch Boucher.
