U.S. Bank, the 5th largest

commercial bank in the United States,

operates 3,086 banking offices and

5,086 ATMs throughout the country.

U.S. Bank El Cajon, located

just outside the City of San Diego,

California, is a proud member of the

local community.

Since opening in 1969, the building

has been part of several renovations,

however the lighting has relatively

remained the same.

Constant lamp burnouts, ballast

failures and increasing maintenance

costs, caused U.S. Bank to look for a

better lighting alternative.

“We chose to upgrade to LED lighting since it improved the overall appearance of the bank while reducing energy and maintenance costs.”

Gregory Thorne, VP/ Environmental and Engineering Manager, U.S. Bank

The previous lighting consisted

of 139 metal halide downlight fixtures

operating at 208 watts each or 88,615

kWh annually.

With a ceiling height of 18’, these

fixtures required special equipment

brought in each time a bulb or ballast

failed. This was both cumbersome and

expensive in maintenance costs.

To meet their client’s objectives, the

team from LED Source® Los Angeles

designed and implemented an LED

lighting solution that helped support

U.S. Bank’s environmental stewardship

efforts.

For the retrofit, LED Source® chose

139 Zenaro Daylight White (4000K) 10”

Recessed LED Downlights. This fixture

provided both excellent light quality and

a work friendly color temperature. At only

40 watts each, energy consumption was

reduced to 17,041 kWh annually.

It is estimated that U.S. Bank El

Cajon will save annually $1,858* in air

conditioning, $3,324* in maintenance

costs and $10,862* in lighting energy.

Total annual savings is estimated at

$16,044* or *81% in energy savings.

In addition, an energy rebate from the

local utility of $11,815 further added to

the retrofit savings.
