Progress Solar Solutions TM, LLC, a solar and energy efficient lighting provider specializing in cost-effective, environmentally friendly solar and electric LED and induction lighting today announced that it will distribute Visible Light Solar Technologies’ full retrofit product line, including LED and Solar/LED lighting solutions for street, parking, area, security wall packs, parking decks, bollards and interior high bay and low bay lights. These energy efficient LED lights are ideal for light-intensive commercial, government, education, industrial, hospital and airport applications.

The Visible Light Solar lighting solutions, which utilize Cree solid-state LEDs and comply with the Buy American Act, offer two unique lighting system configurations:

• Cost-effective LED retrofits that utilize the existing poles and electric light fixture housing. Retrofits offer a fast return on investment (typically 1 to 3 years) and a long life of up to 100,000 hours (over 20 year at 12 hours per night).
• New or retrofit solar/LED lights that combine low power consumption with a hybrid solar and electric system to power the lights first from the renewable energy stored in the batteries and then from the electric grid only when needed.

Both systems positively impact the environment by significantly reducing carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel based electricity which contributes to global warming.
