Industry veteran and certified Color Educator, Tom Monticello, is the owner of Visions Salon and The Color Group.

Mr. Monticello had heard about LED lighting after attending a recent salon conference. He wanted to improve

the overall atmosphere of his salon and make it more inviting.

Mr. Monticello was concerned about his existing lighting since many of his stylists, when cutting hair, were stating that the quality of light was poor and it created dark shadows.

Customers commented that they looked “old” under the hue from the combination of compact fluorescent and halogen lighting.

An additional concern was the heat from the halogen bulbs. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere for the stylists and customers alike.

The fluorescent lights provided inadequate lighting in the various cutting / coloring stations and due to the lack of focused light, created unnecessary shadows.

For Mr. Monticello, finding the right solution was imperative. He turned to the LED lighting experts from LED Source® for an LED lighting makeover.

LED Lighting Case Study

MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH LED LIGHTINGLED Source® tested products from several different LED lighting manufacturers and discovered that the LED lamps from Lighting Science Group (LSG) and Toshiba, would meet the required goals.

To create more light in the coloring stations and to improve the overall quality of light, 13 PAR38 Natural White LSG LED lamps were the best solution.

Additionally, 16 PAR30 Warm White LSG LED lamps were used to enhance skin tones and remove shadows for the cutting and makeup stations, thus creating a more natural light.

The rest of the lighting in the salon was replaced with 7 LSG A19 LED lamps and 26 Toshiba MR16 LED lamps, which not only eliminated unnecessary heat, it produced a more desirable light to showcase the product displays. BEFORE AFTER

THE SAVINGSPrior to the LED lighting retrofit, Visions Salon was consuming 3270 Watts in lighting energy. By switching to energy-efficient LED lamps, the salon has been able to achieve an energy savings of 78.5%. Return On Investment (ROI) is estimated less than one year.
