CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lime Energy Company (NASDAQ:LIME) and Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEXS) today announced that they are collaborating to expand the use of Nexxus Lighting's new Array(TM) Lighting LED light bulb in numerous projects to help Lime Energy's customers save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Lime Energy has successfully installed thousands of LED solutions in resort hospitality, casinos, and business hotels. Through its long history of evaluating and installing energy efficient lighting applications, Lime Energy has emerged as a leader in applying solid state LED systems in commercial lighting applications. Based on their evaluation of available LED product offerings, Lime selected and installed Nexxus Lighting’s Array LED light bulbs in several recent hotel projects. “When meeting with our customers, they convey much frustration when considering LED technologies,” said Cliff Knutson of Lime Energy and a 23 year veteran of energy efficiency. “Since LED manufacturers are coming out of the woodwork and bombarding our customers with controversial information, the customer has a difficult time knowing what to believe, let alone the best product to use in a specific application. Lime has taken on the challenge of evaluating the LED technology so we can assist with confidence in the recommendation process and provide units with the best reliability, color rendition, beam patterns and dimming capability. It is through this service that we are able to help the customer make the very best choice in the emerging world of long-lasting and efficient LED lighting. Based on the installations we have done with the new Nexxus Array LED technology, customers have told us they like the overall light output and color of the bulbs and look forward to no lamp changes for an extended period. Energy and labor savings are vital to our hotel clients as they deal with tight operating budgets and look anxiously at state and local directives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Installing Array Lighting LED bulbs is one huge step in solving both of these problems for our clients,” added Knutson.
