The move to LED ceiling lighting in the U.S. is expected to produce an energy savings of 340,000 kilowatt hours per store – equating to more than $34,000 in savings per year in each store (figured at 10.13 cents per kWh1). With 200 new Walmart stores adopting the new GE LED ceiling lighting over the next two years, this amounts to a total energy savings of 620 million kWh over the next 10 years — savings Walmart expects to pass on to its customers through its everyday low prices.

This expected total energy savings over the next ten years is equal to eliminating 327,360 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions — or the annual greenhouse gas emissions from more than 68,000 passenger vehicles or the energy use of nearly 30,000 American homes for one year.2

The decision to install GE LED lighting results from a pilot program at Walmart’s first all-LED supercenter in South Euclid, Ohio, that was launched in October 2013. This pilot allowed the company to gauge the quality and efficiency of the GE lights and determine the return on investment with LEDs.

Featured in the stores will be a variety of GE lighting technologies, with the Lumination IS Series Luminaires being prominently used in the ceiling application. These fixtures are also part of GE ecomagination, the company’s commitment to technology solutions that save money and reduce environmental impact.

This increase in LED lighting installations in Walmart stores throughout the world supports the company’s broader energy efficiency goals. As another example, Walmart has undergone a program to replace current T5 fluorescent lights with LEDs throughout its distribution center network.

This effort, combined with the installation of more efficient liquid circulation pumps for some refrigeration systems, led to a decrease of more than 30 million kWh and a savings of more than $2 million. The full retrofit of LEDs in the distribution center network is expected to be complete in 2016.
