LEDtronics Inc., the pioneers of solid-state, LED lighting design and manufacturing, yesterday announced that their LED lights will help Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino save 291,000 kilowatts of power in one year and receive a $32,000 rebate from the Imperial Irrigation Energy Rewards Rebate Program.

“The new LEDs reduce the heat load and offer a whiter, brighter light. And by reducing our energy use from 180 watts ballasted to 41 watts, we qualified for an energy rebate, and this LED lighting project will pay for itself in two and a half years.” states Todd Lockway, Fantasy Springs Casino Facilities Director.

LEDtronics provided these LED lamps for Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino:

• LED Post Top E39 Mogul Base bulbs, (LED30MH-30X2W-XPW-001)
• The 41-watt LED products were placed in the existing fixtures and replaced the 150 watt, HPS lights inside the casino’s parking garage structure.

• LED T8 tube lights (LED48T8SM-276-XPW-001W)
• LEDS were used as “uplights” for the landscape area and wall-washing illumination on the outside of the structure.

• LED wall packs (WWL12-8X2W-XPW-001)
• These 27-watt LED products replaced the vintage, 70 Watt HPS wall packs on the outside of the parking structure.

“Once we knew that the management team at Fantasy Springs wanted brighter lighting with more clarity and a higher color temperature, without having to replace their current, lighting fixtures, we gave them LED lighting to fit their specific needs,” states Greg Krymer, LEDtronics, Inc. Product Sales Manager.

“As a Palm Springs getaway complete with a 250-room hotel, Vegas-style gambling, dining, entertainment, pool, and golf activities, the resort is always looking to use the latest technology to provide the best experience for our customers,” states Paul Ryan, Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino COO and General Manager.

With the success of this project, the casino is currently reviewing additional, LEDs projects. “The LEDs LEDtronics provided were a perfect fit and offered a better and cleaner look than our old, sodium lamps,” states Lockway. “We are now assessing the rest of our resort for additional, lighting upgrades.”
