Problem & Solution

Clampco needed to update their facility’s lighting and reached out to Viridi in hopes of cutting their energy costs in the process. They chose to switch from fluorescent to LED. This move has not only lowered their energy bills but also improved the facility’s appearance and safety.

 

“Very pleased with the shift to LED lighting – the cost savings are substantial, and my energy bills have taken a noticeable dip. Big thanks to the Viridi team for their guidance and support. Upgrading to LED lighting was a practical investment in efficiency and long-term savings, and the added benefit of grants and incentives further cut down the project cost.” Fred Fagan, Quality Systems Manager
