McDonald's Australia chooses LED
Energy costs will be reduced by as much as 70%.
McDonald’s restaurants at Arana Hills and Brookside have signed up to have LED or light emitting diode lighting installed before Christmas. An announcement said the decision comes after the success of the McDonald’s restaurant at Elanora on the Gold Coast, which has saved around $7,000 a year off their electricity bill.
McDonald’s franchisee Adam Dando said he thinks it won’t be long until other McDonald’s restaurants across Australia take on the initiative. “Not only McDonalds but all businesses in Australia should consider LED lighting. When you’re reducing your carbon footprint and helping to keep costs down for your customers, why wouldn’t you?” said Dando.
Lemnis Lighting Australia, the company behind the installments, said it’s also hoping the relationship with the food giant continues and LED lighting is installed in all 849 Australian restaurants.
Managing Director John Simpson said LED lighting enables businesses to produce less carbon emission and save money by using globes that last up to five times longer than standard light globes with a brightness that often exceeds other bulbs.
