A Midwest Warehouse Goes Smart.

St Charles, IL

APPLICATIONS
PROJECT SCOPE

In today’s competitive, fast-paced industrial sector, the ability to manufacture and ship products safely and efficiently is critical. Towards that end, optimal lighting helps promote a safe, productive, and energy-efficient work environment. So when outdated lighting threatened to undermine operations for a major Midwestern manufacturer of car electronics, the company chose to upgrade its lighting with Lightcloud Blue.

By replacing (375) HID & fluorescent high bays with (299) H17XL LED high bays and PIR40/LCB sensors, they were able to significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs by $60,000/year, while dramatically improving the light levels in their shipping, receiving, and facility warehouses. They now have full wireless control of their lighting to adjust dim levels, set high-end trim, and configure occupancy sensors, all with a push of a button in the Lightcloud Blue mobile app.

CHALLENGE
Replace outdated HID & fluorescent high bays with high-performance LED high bays with wireless sensors. In doing so, improve the light quality, reduce energy usage, and improve employee comfort and safety. 
IMPACT & RESULTS

•  $60,000/year in energy cost savings

• 40% reduction in energy usage

• Less than a one year simple payback

• 299 new fixtures - longer life, lower maintenance

• Reduction in noise, safety, and environmental concerns associated with metal halide and fluorescent lighting

• Improved light quality and uniformity, promoting safety and productivity
