Instead of replacing every fixture and rewiring the building, the church retrofitted its sanctuary with 80 HyLite LED Lotus Lamps (60W) and 12 Lotus Lamps (40W), all in a 3000K warm color temperature.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1241\">\u201cThe Lotus Lamps were very easy to install,\u201d said Dave Aumack, Director of Media at First Presbyterian Church. \u201cWe simply inserted them into our existing PAR cans and fixtures.
