McKenna BMW

Filamento VALTO vs. HID

Dealership and Service Bays

Filamento and Ideal Lighting Supply light up McKenna BMW in Norwalk, California providing a safe and welcoming environment for customers. Lighting is critical to vehicle sales and servicing. McKenna was looking for a cost effective approach to convert their Metal Halide to energy saving LEDs. They found the perfect solution with Filamento.

Entrance Overhang: McKenna had 100W Metal Halides that kept burning out. With Filamento, they were able to keep their 7″ recessed cans and the existing magnetic ballasts because the 30W VALTO 150E Hybrid works with ballast or line voltage. They increased light level by 2x with a 70% energy savings.

Service Bay: McKenna had 400W Metal Halides. With Filamento, they were able to keep their existing fixture and ballast because the 150W VALTO 600 Hybrid works with ballast or line voltage. They added Filamento’s Uplight accessory to light up their ceiling. They increased light level by 2x with a 70% energy savings.
