In 2005, we partnered with General Electric to create and install our first LED freezer case lights at a Walmart in McKinney, Texas. They used 70 percent less energy and generated significantly less heat, which is important in a refrigerator. Seven years later, LED freezer case lighting is the standard in all new Walmart facilities around the globe and is becoming the industry norm for refrigerated food cases.
I also like how they can use motion sensors to only turn on the lights in the freezer in the areas where there are customers.
I wonder why no one uses ammonia refrigeration any more. Well, except for a scant few specialty applications.
Clever…I like it.
It would be nice if Walmart passed their savings onto their workers!
I agree with Pat Skimland. It would also erase the misnomer about Walmart being an extension of China.
great story,we’re proud of our store too wal-mart #1656,we’ve been recycling cans for CMN for12 years now. go green!
