Sunovia Energy Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: SUNV) today announced the release of a line of new LED parking garage lights that reduce energy consumption by about 50 percent and require no bulb replacements for approximately 12 years. The first high-profile installation of the products is at a parking garage located at 80 State St. in Albany, NY.
The five-level parking garage is just blocks from the State of New York Capital building. Over 100 175-watt high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights were replaced with Sunovia's 90-watt EvoLucia® LED PS14 parking garage lights, reducing energy just under 50 percent. Tom Fake of Metro-Luminescent Technologies, Sunovia's representative in the region, facilitated the sale.

"This parking garage project turned out perfectly," said Fake. "The customer couldn't be happier and the people who use the garage on a daily basis have been very complimentary. The dramatic improvement the EvoLucia lights have made has not gone unnoticed, and as a result, we are in negotiations with other parking garage managers in the area."
"I love the PS-14 parking garage LED lights from EvoLucia," said Anthony Garcelon, site manager for the garage. "They were everything that I had expected and then some. They have given the parking garage a brighter, more vibrant look without the glare. They have also improved the reception on our security cameras. My customers like them as well."
Of the new product, Sunovia's Vice President of Sales, Jim Perkins, said, "The EvoLucia PS14 provides quality, durable illumination and dramatic cost savings due to reduced energy use and maintenance needs. The LED light is exceptionally stable because it is not affected by vibrations and temperature variations – both important qualities in a parking garage light. It's also an ideal solution for lighting storage areas, walkways, entry ways and other spaces. We expect it to sell very well."
