Lighting Retrofit Before & After
View our lighting retrofit before & after photographs:
Typical Hotel Corridor
Wall sconces using 100-watt incandescent light bulbs illuminated this corridor. We changed the 100-watt bulbs to fluorescent 5000k 27-watt retrofits. The result was a better quality of light and decreased power consumption. The hotel manager reported guest reaction to the lighting changes was positive.
Automobile Dealership Service Department
Fluorescent lights using a combination of 4 foot and 8 foot tubes illuminated the service department. We designed and changed the primary lighting system to include 350-watt pulse rated metal halide high bay fixtures. The result was a better quality of light, increased lumen values, and improved uniformity. The service manager reported the mechanics could now see in detail under the hood.
Typical Warehouse
High bay fixtures using 400-watt high-pressure sodium lamps were used to illuminate this warehouse. We designed and changed the primary lighting system to include a mixture of 400-watt pulse rated metal halide high bay fixtures and 1000-watt metal halide high bay fixtures. The result was a better quality of light and increased vertical and horizontal foot-candles in the aisles. The warehouse manager reported less picking errors due to increased visibility.
Typical Car and Truck Repair Facility
There were numerous 8-foot fixtures in disrepair, with one 400 watt metal halide hi bay fixture. We designed and changed the lighting system to include six lamp hi bay industrial fixtures. We used a 5000k 3100 lumen lamp. The outcome is the mechanical personnel are now able to see under the hoods, distinguish the proper tool in the tool chests, and eliminate the use of flashlights and drop cords for specific applications. The light levels went from between five and fourteen foot candles to an average of 55 footcandles with great uniformity.
Typical Manufacturing Plant
This is a typical manufacturing plant. They are in the process of installing a new line for an additional product. They were using 8 foot 2 lamp industrial fixtures with slimline cool white and daylight lamps. There was an average of 19 footcandles in this area. Six lamp fluorescent hi bay industrial fixtures were installed using F32T8/850HL 3,100 lumen lamps. There is now an average of 63 footcandles and a far better quality of light.
