Built in 2000, Paseo Villas is part of the downtown district redevelopment project. A 6-story midrise building, Paseo Villas has 104 residential and five commercial units. In addition to the black streaks, dim lighting and varying color temperature also plagued the hallways in Paseo Villas.
In an effort to reduce energy use and cost, only one PL13 fluorescent bulb was being used in each sconce fixture instead of two. Each time a pricy bulb was replaced, its color temperature would differ from others along the hall. To solve these problems and improve the safety and appearance of the condo building, Paseo Villas retrofitted the 200 wall sconces throughout the building with TerraLUX LED Engines.
The complex conducted research into alternative lighting options for several months before deciding to use TerraLUX products for the retrofit project. TerraLUX was an appropriate choice for Paseo Villas because the existing light fixtures did not have to be altered, the Linear LED engine exceeded lumen output expectations and reduced energy usage in the building without sacrificing lighting quality.

Since the installation of the TerraLUX Linear LED Engines, Paseo Villas has experienced a 50 percent improvement in lighting quality and projects 33 percent energy savings annually.
Residents at Paseo Villas also now have peace of mind, knowing the light fixtures outside the front doors of their homes are not creating a potential fire hazard.
