STAMFORD, CT --(Marketwired - November 14, 2016) - Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. (
The Company worked with Amortized Energy Solutions LLC., in partnership with Interface Services Inc., to provide its Revolution Lighting LED tubes , replacing existing fluorescent lighting throughout each retail structure. The Company's LED lighting was first installed at a Hibbett Sports retail store in Florida that successfully demonstrated the linear tube technology's capability to improve energy efficiency by 67% over existing fluorescent lighting. With LED lighting lasting three times longer than conventional lighting, and the Company's market leading 10-year warranty for its LED tube products, Hibbett Sports will experience significant long-term operational and maintenance cost savings, while enhancing the shopping experience for its customers by achieving greater light output and visual acuity.
