Dairy Queen worked with Relight Solutions toupgrade their parking lot lighting to LED. The fixturesreduce energy consumption, are completelyweatherproof and provide excellent illuminationimproving overall safety and security. The cost of theupgrade including installation was around $1800.Their projected energy savings are over $300/yearper fixture and the payback period is under 3 years.With the Illuminate Strathcona program, this projectwould be eligible for a $900 grant.
The 700 Block of Powell Street was under lit bypublic street lighting. Sunrise Soya Foods staff feltuncomfortable walking to their cars or the bus stopat night. They were frequently experiencing break-ins into their vehicles parked on the block.
Assisted by the SBIA, Sunrise Soya Foods workedwith the City of Vancouver to find a solution. Fourstreet lamps on the block were upgraded tobrighter LED fixtures for a total cost of $3080, paidby Sunrise Soya Foods and installed by the City.The cost per light fixture including installation was$770, The brighter lighting increased visibility andprovided a greater sense of safety for employeesat night time. With the Illuminate Strathconaprogram, this project would be eligible for a $1540grant and the remaining cost could be splitbetween multiple businesses on a block.
