Power management company Eaton’s 1947 Cooper Lighting division converting the parking garage lighting systems at Denver International Airport (DIA) with light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires.

Replacing more than 5,400 parking garage fixtures, the DIA conversion will include almost 5,000 McGraw-Edison Valet LED luminaires, helping the airport to save approximately US$327,000 annually or US$6.5 million over 20 years. By making the parking garages brighter and more uniformly lit, the new luminaires will increase visibility and enhance safety.

The conversion also includes Lumark Crosstour LED wall pack luminaires and Corelite R2 recessed LED fixtures.

Construction of the multimillion-dollar project began in May 2014 with an anticipated completion date of November 2014.

The McGraw-Edison Valet LED lighting fixtures are DLC listed, which qualifies the DIA for a local utility rebate from Xcel Energy’s Lighting Efficiency program. DLC is a leading resource that distinguishes quality, high-performance LED products for commercial and industrial projects and produces a Qualified Products List for lighting specifiers and property owners.
