Walmart has selected Honeywell’ s Ex-Or LED lighting technology for the retrofit of an additional 40 stores across China, which is worth approximately $12 million.

Honeywell began to participate in the modernization and implementation of an energy-saving lighting program across China’ s Walmart stores in 2008, providing comprehensive LED lighting products including main floor, freezer, fresh produce, and outdoor billboard lighting.

By installing Honeywell’ s LED lighting products, each Walmart store can cut its annual electricity consumption by around one million kilowatt-hours, equivalent to about 1,200 tanks of fuel. This represents a saving of approximately 50 percent of electricity expenses on lighting and 15 percent of Walmart’s total electricity expenses.

As this project completes, approximately half of all Wal-Mart stores in China will be outfitted with the energy saving lighting systems.
