Project Detail

Case Study

LED High Bay Lighting Upgrade

Client:

Sunrun

Project Type:

Facility LED High Bay Lighting Installation

Electrician

Ben Moore

Challenge

High energy costs and frequent maintenance issues with outdated lighting systems in a 25,000 square foot warehouse.

Solution

Comprehensive lighting upgrade to energy-efficient LED fixtures and installation of motion sensor systems.

Results

Cost Savings

  • Energy Cost Savings: Assuming $0.18/kWh
  • Annual Cost Savings: $10,819/𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟
  • 60,105.6 kWh/year×$0.18/kWh

 

Maintenance Reduction

  • Old System Lifespan: Approximately 15,000 hours for metal halide
  • New System Lifespan: Approximately 50,000 hours for LED
  • Maintenance Cost Savings: Significant reduction in maintenance costs due to the longer lifespan of LED fixtures and reduced frequency of bulb replacements.

Energy Savings

  • Old System Consumption: 126,144 kWh/year: 72 fixtures×400 watts×12 hours/day×365 days/year/1000
  • New System Consumption: 66,038.4 kWh/year: 72 fixtures×210 watts×12 hours/day×365 days/year/1000
  • Annual Energy Savings: 60,105.6 kWh/year: 126,144 kWh/year−66,038.4 kWh/year

 

Improved Lighting Quality

  • Old System Lifespan: Approximately 15,000 hours for metal halide
  • Lumens: 28,560 lumens per fixture for new LEDs
  • Color Temperature: 5000 Kelvin, providing bright, daylight-like quality
  • Productivity: Enhanced visibility and safety for warehouse employees, leading to an estimated 15% increase in productivity.

Implementation

Assessment

Conducted a thorough audit of the existing lighting system, identifying areas with the highest energy consumption and maintenance needs.

Design

Developed a customized lighting plan that optimized fixture placement for maximum efficiency and coverage.

Installation

Replaced 400-watt metal halide fixtures with 72 new 277V, 28,560 Lumen, 5,000 Kelvin, 210-watt LED High Bays. Installed motion sensors to ensure lights are only on when needed, reducing energy consumption.
