The STELLAR Future of Sustainability: 80% reduction in energy use!

Stellar Lighting Systems Illuminates 4Roots Warehouse with Orlando Built IoT and Circular Tech.

Orlando, FL – September 16, 2025 – 

Stellar Lighting Systems, an Orlando-based Smart City and Smart Building IoT innovator, has transformed the distribution warehouse of 4Roots Farm, a local nonprofit dedicated to building a healthier, more sustainable food system, with its locally designed and manufactured X-Series lighting solution. This recent installation brightens the workspace for safer, more productive operations while slashing energy costs by an estimated 80%, saving an estimated $30,000 annually. By reducing the warehouse’s carbon footprint by 150 tons per year, Stellar’s technology supports 4Roots’ mission to unite communities through fresh, nutritious, and ethically produced food.

The X-Series lights, engineered and made in Orlando, deliver unmatched efficiency at 235 lumens per watt—like a car getting 30 mpg compared to 15 mpg. Designed with circular economics, the system uses 80% recycled materials and lasts up to 25 years (based on 10 hours daily use, with a 110,000-hour lifespan). The X-Series is upgradeable, allowing 4Roots to adopt future efficiency advancements without replacement. Its plug-and-play AiOT (AI + Internet of Things) platform supports add-ons like cameras, air quality sensors, and VOC monitors, all wirelessly connected with AI for real-time monitoring, reporting, and maintenance.

“Seeing our Orlando-made technology light up 4Roots’ warehouse while saving them money and cutting environmental impact is why we started Stellar,” said Joe Genovesi, co-founder of Stellar Lighting Systems. “We’re proud to support 4Roots’ vision of transforming how communities access sustainable food.”

Founded in 2022 by Joe Genovesi and Jennifer Englert in Joe’s Orlando garage, Stellar Lighting Systems has grown into a leader in sustainable IoT solutions, redefining energy efficiency for smart cities and buildings worldwide.

4Roots Farm, founded in 2015, fosters systemic change in agriculture, education, and sustainability. The warehouse upgrade channels savings into its mission of connecting people, land, and resources for a healthier future. For more information, visit www.stellarsls.com or www.4rootsfarm.org.
