GE noted that the installation in more than half of Red Robin's company-owned restaurants in the U.S. is the largest application of GE's 7-watt LED PAR lamp in a restaurant setting.
"Switching to LED lamps in our company-owned Red Robin restaurants offers immediate energy-cost advantages given the number of locations involved in our energy reduction efforts," said John Rogers, Red Robin's VP of capital purchasing. "We expect a very attractive return on investment with reductions in both energy consumption and maintenance requirements."
The 7-watt GE LED lamps (200 lumens) cut energy consumption up to 77 percent and last more than 6 times longer (a 20,000-hour rated life to 70 percent of initial light output) than standard 30-watt incandescent R20 reflectors (200 lumens) with a 3,000-hour rated life. The annual energy savings for one 7-watt GE LED light operated for 4,500 hours annually at $.10 /kWh will be approximately $10.
"These efficient GE LED lights are perfect for a restaurant setting where access to some fixtures can be challenging," said John Strainic, global product general manager - lighting, GE Consumer & Industrial.
GE's LED lamps, which feature optical controls that reduce wasted extraneous light, were installed in phases at Red Robin's chain of restaurants in November and December 2008, and February and March 2009. Areas inside the restaurant now illuminated with GE LED lights include the entrance and lobby areas, lighting over dining room tables and perimeter lighting.
