Santa Clarita Elementary School (Saugus District) had a problem on their hands of a poorly lit side parking lot. School officials were concerned about attracting unwanted activity and people, and so they needed a lighting system that was quick and easy to install that remained within a budget. The pavement for the lot was already in place, and breaking the pavement to install traditional lighting was an expenditure that would sap too much time and money for the school district. Plus, the added construction mess and loud sounds would have been distracting for teachers and students.
Needing a wallet- and ear-friendly solution, the school turned to Greenshine New Energy. The solar parking lot lights with the Lumina fixtures appealed to them the most because of the unique aesthetic of the light fixtures. “Greenshine Luminas add safety, security, and a decorative aesthetic to the Saugus Union School District,” said Doug Suhi, Regional Sales Manager of Greenshine. Because of the design of solar lights, the school didn’t need to trench into the pavement. Plus, the lights didn’t need heavy expenditures towards trenching or costly energy bills so the school can spend more on supplies for everyone.
The school now has its parking lot lights installed in their side lot, avoiding any unwanted company or incidents. The district was so pleased with Greenshine New Energy and the provided Lumina lights that more projects are planned for a play area and other district schools.
