CASE STUDY AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP
COMPANY: Lee Toyota/Scion Dealership
LOCATION: Topsham, Maine
PRODUCT: Cimarron LED, Providence LED
Lee Toyota of Topsham, Maine recently completed the construction of
its auto dealership, specified with industry leading LED fixtures from
Spaulding Lighting and Architectural Area Lighting. The project merges
energy-efficiency, performance and styling to the automotive dealership
market where lighting is critical for display of automobiles, high visibility
and attraction of customers.
Why were LED fixtures specified for this project?
The architect, Frank Cushing of F.A. Cushing, Inc. design philosophy
was to build a project as environmentally responsible and community
friendly as possible. Utilizing LED fixtures for performance and energyefficiency helped achieve his goal.
What other types of fixtures were considered for this
automotive dealership?
At the start of the project, Mr. Cushing’s initial thought was to use a
metal halide light source. From their experience it was the only way to
achieve the desired light levels in the product display areas. Adam Lee,
the dealership owner, directed a ‘green approach’ to all aspects of the
site design. With that directive, the site was designed with LED for the
reduced power consumption and maintenance costs.
Originally the front row of fixtures and poles were specified the same as
the interior fixtures. During the planning, the board agreed to change
the front row fixtures to the AAL Providence LED in order to match the
site lighting at the Municipal Center in Topsham. This maintained the
community’s vision for the future of their Main Street.
Did the LED fixtures provide the desired performance
for automotive dealership lighting?
The performance of the LED luminaires and job was quite successful.
While the traditional light levels for dealerships remained elusive, the
uniformity and distribution of the LED lighting installed was far beyond
anything that could have been achieved with HID light sources. In addition to the exceptional uniformity and distribution, the ‘brighter’ higher
Kelvin value of the
LED and the lack of
ambient light from
off-site light sources
adequately compensated for higher
traditional HID illumination levels.
