“The fluorescent version of the berth light found in every sailor’s sleeping area runs at over ten watts and is a legendary maintenance headache due to starter and lamp failures,” Buelow added. “Because of TechSolutions’ work with Energy Focus, the fleet now has a qualified LED version that runs at five watts, delivers the same light output and will last for a decade without maintenance.”
