The Ware County School system, located in Waycross Georgia,
recently selected LED Tube lights from RedBird LED for an energy efficient lighting retrofit project. RedBird LED is an Atlanta based LED lighting designer and manufacturer of high quality LED Tube lights.This project is the largest known K-12 grade public school lighting retrofit
program. The Ware County
School District encompasses ten individual schools, pre-K through 12th grade,
that serve more than 5,000 students.
The school system conducted
a six-month pilot program incorporating LED tube lighting in several conference
rooms prior to reaching an agreement to install LED lights throughout the
system. The arithmetic was simple- an estimated savings of $11.2 million
dollars over the next nine years. In addition, the annual savings for Ware
County Schools will pay for the installation cost within two years.They will upgrade 24,000 lighting fixtures to more energy efficient LED Tube lights.
“The money we save with maintenance and reduced energy costs can be applied to continual improvement of the quality of education we provide to our students as well as benefit the taxpayers who support our system,’’

LED Tube Lights Reduce Energy and Maintenance Costs
” RedBird LED is pleased that our Cardinal™ LED tube light has been selected for the major energy reduction project underway for the Ware County Schools,” said Jonathan Eppstein, President of RedBird LED. “Working closely with Etrenzik and IP-Utilinet, we were able to put together a system that offers state of the art performance and will save the district millions in their electricity bills over the next 10 years.”
The RedBird Cardinal LED Tube lights have an anticipated
lifetime capacity of 15 to 20 years. “The money we save with maintenance and
reduced energy costs can be applied to continual improvement of the quality of
education we provide to our students as well as benefit the taxpayers who
support our system,’’ said School Superintendent Joseph C. Barrow .

Cardinal LED lighting provide one of the
highest lumens/dollar and lumens/watt of any LED lighting fixture. The Cardinal
LED tubes are a direct mechanical fit into standard fixtures, operating on any
voltage ranging from 110 to 277 VAC, and do not require the fluorescent ballast.
Cardinal LED Tube lights deliver 7,000 lumens of light, yet only draw 66 watts.
