Our team studied LED lights for a long time

Maine, was selected as the LED vendor because of its strong track record of manufacturing quality interior lighting for restaurants, retail stores and hotels. Eco-story exclusively uses Cree warm white led high bay to help achieve the color quality required by casual and fine dining restaurants. Facilities Solutions Group (FSG) out of Dallas, Texas handled the distribution and installation for all the Chili’s stores.

After testing the technology in ten stores, Brinker determined its annual savings would be approximately $87.00 per store, per week, totaling more than $3.7 million per year in savings for the company. In addition to being a money-saver, the LED technology is also improving the look and ambiance of the Chili’s restaurants versus traditional lighting. Eco-story’s products are engineered to emit a warm light instead of the cool effects of traditional LEDs, which cast unsavory bluish colors on food and guests.

“Our team studied LED lights for a long time and tested many makes and models and we feel our stores look better now than before,” said Kevin Falconer, Brinker’s Senior Director of Design.This was a huge project with the most important goal of saving money while maintaining or LED Linear high bay light improving light quality over traditional incandescent lamps,” added Bill Stauffer, co-founder of Eco-story. “The Chili’s stores look fantastic and the savings and ROI that Brinker will realize is simply amazing.”
