The lighting installations are part of Energy Focus’ recently secured several additional lighting retrofit contracts, worth about $2.5m, for this year.

The new projects include retrofits to upgrade the lighting of a Fortune 500 manufacturing facility in the US, a University in the Midwest as well as a number of school systems in the southeastern US.

Energy Focus has completed the audit of the facilities, inventoried their lighting systems, created an approved energy savings design for these contracts and is now procuring the materials and overseeing the lighting installations.

Energy Focus CEO Joseph Kaveski said the company’s solutions business is off to a great start in this year, and we continue to see an increase in the amount of Energy Focus LED products being used in our lighting retrofit projects.

"This increase includes our Best-in-Class LED tube lamps to replace linear fluorescent lamps and our LED retrofit kits to replace HID technologies," Kaveski said.
