A&K Energy Conservation, Inc. has had the pleasure of working with Lighting Science in the past. As a Lighting Maintenance Contractor, we have installed quite a few of their LED systems. Great stuff, and we plan to write something about LSG from our own experiences in the future. However, it was no surprise to see the US NAVY (or anyone for that matter) taking advantage of the new LED pole light and wallpack luminaires in the news.

The point here is that LED is staying for a while. Manufacturers are finding useful ways to bring this technology to market. It makes perfect sense when you look at the energy savings, inherent long life and lumens per watt advances.
