Energy Focus Lights Up the Naval Institute
Thanks to a generous in-kind gift from Energy Focus, the Naval Institute’s headquarters at Beach Hall are now brighter—and greener—than ever before. Just last month, the Solon, Ohio, company outfitted, gratis, all Naval Institute offices and passageways with state-of-the-art LED lights.
Energy Focus is the Navy’s sole provider of tubular LED lamps. They’re now on board hundreds of Navy ships and in use at Navy installations. As compared to conventional lighting, these LED products last longer, conserve energy, cost less, and make for a better work environment.
Eric Hilliard, president and COO of Energy Focus, said, “We are delighted and proud to make this gift to the Naval Institute. It’s a nice fit, helping brighten up the work spaces of the naval services’ great beacon of enlightenment.” Mr. Hilliard is a Navy veteran, having served as an operations specialist on deployments around the world, including the Middle East.
“On behalf of all of us here at the Naval Institute, I want to say thank you to Energy Focus for this wonderful gift, whose effects will be felt every day for years to come,” said Naval Institute CEO Vice Admiral Peter H. Daly, USN (Ret.). “The new lights and the new feel they give us throughout the building are just extraordinary.”
