ATTENTION HSCO MANAGEMENT ITS TIME TO TAP THE WHALE!!!!!!!!!



Walmart's next focus – LED parking lot lights. If you live in the US, chances are you've seen parking lot lights, or even just street lights. Walmart first used LEDs in their parking lots in 2008 as a test. There they found the same benefits as with LED freezer lights – big energy and maintenance savings – in addition to some new benefits. The directional quality of LED light bulbs means it's easier for a large scale installation to avoid light pollution by directing the light only to the parking lot ground.

They've converted 22 sites in Puerto Rico already, and are in the process of converting 350 stores in Central America. The biggest challenge is the initial investment, but with a massive company like Walmart it is more manageable. They have the capital to be able to wait years to recoup the costs of an LED retrofit. Years from now they will have made back all the money they spent while continuing to save huge amounts of money.
