National Storage Affiliates Trust plans to convert its entire portfolio of self-storage facilities to LED lighting to cut down energy costs, one of its largest operating expenses, by reducing energy consumption.

The project will be carried out alongside Sunnect Lighting, Inc., a California-based LED lighting developer.
