BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire -03/13/12)- Digital Lumens today announced that it has been selected to participate in the Advanced Lighting Controls (ALC) Incentive Program, an initiative driven by the Sacramento Municipal District (SMUD) to reduce lighting energy costs by an estimated 50% - 75% for local businesses.

Effective now and running through February 2013, the program will offer rebates totaling $1 million in federal stimulus funds to help customers take advantage of wireless lighting controls for dramatically improved efficiency. With its Intelligent Lighting System, comprised of individually smart LED lighting fixtures that are wirelessly networked and centrally managed, Digital Lumens provides industrial customers with energy savings of up to 90% -- exceeding the program's estimates. Digital Lumens has the only solution on the qualified product list that is a fully integrated system of LED lighting fixtures and controls.

Digital Lumens is working with its network of Authorized Partners to identify and enable lighting upgrades for buildings that range from 20,000 to 100,000 square feet in size. Each eligible building may receive up to 80% of the project's total cost from SMUD, to a maximum of $100,000.

"This program has been the culmination of very thorough research and is designed to meet SMUD's ambitious energy efficiency goals set by our Board of Directors," said Dave Bisbee, program manager of SMUD's Customer Advanced Technologies group. "SMUD provides energy solutions for our customers that help them reduce usage and save money."

"The ALC Program provides a direct path to energy savings that customers might not have otherwise taken, and we commend SMUD for facilitating the adoption of energy-efficient industrial lighting," said Mike Feinstein, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Digital Lumens. "While LED lighting is proven to reduce energy use, the Digital Lumens solution doubles the savings with a complete, wirelessly networked system allowing for highly customizable control. This complete solution, from LED lighting fixtures to controls, ensures interoperability and cost effectiveness. With support from progressive utilities like SMUD, there has never been a better time for facilities to upgrade to our Intelligent Lighting System -- a one-time project that will reap recurring operational savings."
