Before

After

Systex Products Corporation replaced 389 fixtures with the Semaphore 88. Systex’s annual lighting bill was $251,000, or $21,000 per month. This retrofit reduced their monthly bill by $15,000 for annual savings of $181,000 (66%). Light levels increased by an average of 15%.

Challenge:

To reduce Systex Products Corporation's lighting energy consumption while maintaining current light levels throughout their facility.

Solution:

The replacement of existing 1,000w Metal Halide fixtures with Light's Semaphore 88 Series. The 8 Lamp T8 fixture features an aluminum exoskeleton form-factor, designed for its clean aesthetics and lightweight manageability. The exoskeleton surrounds a modular specular reflector system specifically designed and engineered for even and focused light dispersion. Rounding out the fixture is Light's Slip-Fit hanging system which allows for ease of installation in one-third of the time necessary to hang standard fluorescent or high-intensity discharge fixtures. The Semaphore 88 has a system wattage of 302w versus 1,058w for the standard 1,000w Metal Halide system.

Customer Feedback:

"The difference is stunning - both visually and financially. We weren't sure that the fixtures could compete with the thousand-watt metal halides, but they do and we're extremely pleased with the end result."
