Case Study: Funky and Famous Strip Mall Combines Lumenpulse LED Fixtures and Wind Turbines to Deliver Pop-Art, Energy Savings and Dramatically Improved Occupancy Rates

Nov 9, 2011 Lumenpulse has published the detailed case study on LED illumination project of historical Cermac Plaza near Chicago, IL. Lumenpulse Lumenfacade™ RGB fixtures were used as they offered advantages such as small footprint of the luminaires that enabled them to be mounted into the canopy, and outstanding performance in temperatures as low as -25C/-13F. The project was taken one step further in terms of environmental friendliness - the Lumenpulse fixtures are powered with 12 wind turbines that cultivate energy from the edge of the plaza’s parking lot. In combination with the energy efficient lighting, the 35 foot tall turbines are a dynamic, visible and recognizable environmental statement as well as artistic feature that generates 1,500 to 2,500 kilowatt hours of electricity each year. During the daytime, when the LED fixtures are off, unused power is directed back to the grid – actually earning income for Cermak Plaza Associates LLC which also receives a federal credit for installing green technology.
