Greenlight Initiative (GLI), a USA headquartered LED-lighting sales and solutions provider, announced the successful installation of a complete LED-based lighting system for the first of a number of new Marco's Pizza franchise restaurants across Georgia. Mellina LLC, the design builder for the Georgia projects reports this first installation has been well-received in terms of quality and energy-savings, and represents the first of 80 new locations over the next 3 years to be lit entirely with GLI’s qualified LED lighting solutions.

With Greenlight Initiative's approach, Mellina was able to replace the standard linear fluorescent fixtures with approximately one-half the number of Albeo Constellation 8-foot linear luminaires. In addition, GLI-qualified Array LED bulbs replaced the front service counter PAR lamps. Overall lighting energy was cut in half and maintenance was virtually eliminated.

Greenlight Initiative will be joining prominent lighting decision makers, specifiers and municipal organizations to provide insights into the business case and adoption processes for LED lighting as a premier sponsor and presenter at this year’s northeast SSL Design Summit, November 3-4 at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City.
