Seesmart Technologies, a leading LED lighting solutions company based in California, has recently helped Regis High School, a tuition-free Jesuit college preparatory school for young men in the New York metropolitan area, to save energy with its entire LED retrofit solution. The retrofit replaced more than 2,500 fluorescent lights throughout the school with Seesmart LED tube lights.
 
Regis’ estimated LED retrofit benefits include significant energy savings of more than $36,000 and over 116,000 kilowatt-hours per year with a carbon footprint reduction of almost 120,000 pounds per year. Additionally, the preparatory school received a $32,000 rebate from Con Edison.
 
Seesmart’s retrofit for Regis High School began by replacing the light fixtures in the gymnasium with LED fixtures. After seeing the results in the gym the administration decided to replace all of the school’s lighting with LED fixtures. Fluorescent lights were replaced with Seesmart LED tube lighting in over 100 classrooms, offices, and other educational spaces, as well as extensive hallways. The changeover included 967 new or retrofitted fixtures. Installation began in January 2012 and was almost fully completed in just three months.
