NEEC Member Light Doctor, has recently completed the lighting retrofit of the South Whidbey Island School District. South Whidbey is the 27th school district to be retrofitted by Light Doctor.
Improving the lighting in schools is not only an enhancement of the learning environment it is one of the best capital investments that the State can make in our schools. The photos below show the difference-improved lighting can make in a school gymnasium.
