Friendly's Restaurant

Westfield, Massachusetts, USA

Friendly’s Ice Cream Corporation chose energy-efficient, environmentally friendly LED lighting when renovating its Westfield, MA, restaurant, pictured at right. The company, which has over 500 restaurants, replaced the incandescent downlights in the restaurant’s dining room with fixtures from LED Lighting Fixtures, Inc (LLF). The conversion dramatically reduced energy consumption while improving the customer experience with high-quality, warm-white LED lighting.

LLF’s 12-watt LR6 fixtures replaced 65-watt BR30 incandescent lamps. Electricity requirements for lighting fell from 5135 W down to 948 W, an 80% decrease in energy consumption for lighting. Reduced maintenance costs will also hasten the payback time for Friendly’s since LED lighting has a significantly longer lifetime than incandescent lighting.
