Lind Equipment, manufacturer of temporary LED lighting for the commercial construction industry, said its LED Jobsite System has reached the milestone of 500 million kWh of energy saved.
Lind Equipment compiles real-time data to precisely quantify the energy savings generated by its LED Jobsite System on active construction sites. This energy savings milestone is equivalent to removing more than 77,000 cars off the road for one year or powering 65,000 homes on an annual basis. Monetizing the savings using an average of 10 cents/kWh, it adds up to $50 million of savings in electricity costs.
Beyond the monetary savings, the LED Jobsite System has helped contractors eliminate more than 600,000 tons of waste with the reusable lights and avoid almost 4,000,000 mg of toxic mercury from being released into the environment, which is a serious safety and environmental concern caused by traditional metal-halide bulbs.
The LED Jobsite system is an award-winning system of purpose-built, patented, plug and play LED temporary construction lights that can be mixed and matched to fit a project, and all the projects to come.
This milestone demonstrates the market's acknowledgment of the LED Jobsite System's many benefits, and it's a strong indication that contractors are raising the bar for acceptable temporary LED lighting on construction sites. Contractors are elevating the standard in sustainability in the construction sector by using efficient and reusable temporary lighting equipment to save money on the job while also improving safety and helping the environment.
One prominent example of an energy-saving LED Jobsite is the Centre Block Rehabilitation project at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Lind has created a case study that highlights the impact of this single project:

“Sustainability is a community effort, and our customers are proving that collaboration is key to reducing the carbon footprint of the jobsite.” said Susan Azevedo, LED jobsite product manager, Lind Equipment. “Owners and general contractors appreciate the incredible energy savings, while electrical contractors value the material and labor savings. It’s a win-win for all stakeholders, plus creates meaningful benefits for the environment. “
The LED Jobsite System increases project efficiency and profitability by reducing labor and material, saving the project hundreds of thousands of dollars in electricity, while creating a safer, more sustainable jobsite. The return on investment is fast – typically within months on the first project.
