Wilson Motors

The building’s fairly new 150 watt metal halide lamps required significant on-going maintenance which disrupted the sales floor activity, frustrating the owners. As a high-end automobile retailer, the quality of lighting to showcase the product inventory was of utmost importance. 2020 LED provided a complete lighting design and installation featuring Zenaro 40 watt retrofit kits to keep the aesthetics of the quality lighting fixtures while greatly improving energy efficiency and lighting quality.
