Challenge
To reduce Southwestern's lighting energy consumption while increasing current light levels throughout their facility.
Solution
The replacement of existing 400w Metal Halide fixtures with Light's Semaphore 86 Series. The 6 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 86 has a system wattage of 224w versus 458w for the standard 400w Metal Halide system.
Results
Southwestern replaced 46 fixtures with the Semaphore 86. Southwestern reduced its per fixture per year lighting cost by $94.45 for annual savings of $4,573. Light levels increased by an average of 55%.
Customer feedback
"Our client is extremely happy with the change. Light levels have increased, they have a better distribution of light, as well as energy savings - hard dollars that they can redirect to their bottom line. The reduction in the heat load was also an added benefit that they were able to take advantage of with this lighting retrofit."
