The Challenges
Reduce Costs, Increase Energy Efficiency
As part of a major upgrade and expansion initiative, Performance Kings Honda was looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption and associated costs. The existing lights in their parking lots did not use LED technology and, while functional, they were aging and inefficient – which increased energy costs and maintenance expenses.
Enhance the Customer Experience
In addition to reducing costs, the dealership wanted to use outdoor lighting to create a safer, more engaging environment for customers. They needed a solution that would produce a comfortable, welcoming experience for visitors while showcasing a wide spectrum of vehicle colors, shapes and forms. This was a critical objective, as light can affect perceptions about various auto bodies, trim styles, wheels and interiors. As the old saying goes, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” This old adage was top of mind during the upgrade and expansion project.
“We are so pleased with our new LSI lights that we will be installing them at several other Performance Automotive dealerships. The quality of light creates an exceptional experience for our customers and employees. Thank you, LSI!”
– Ken Kocher, Director, Fixed Operations
