Challenge

  • Deficient light levels in the final boat inspection area led to safety concerns and productivity delays.
  • Technicians had to use headlamps and flashlights to identify and repair defects.
  • The customer was using six-lamp fluorescent T8 fixtures and wanted to drastically increase light levels.

Solution

  • Redesigned the lighting fixture layout to maximize light distribution on the ground.
  • Specified high-lumen LED high bay fixtures with smart controls and occupancy sensors.
  • Grouped the fixtures into three areas based on employee usage and site needs.

Key Results

  • Lighting levels were increased tenfold.
  • Fixtures operate at full brightness only when employees are present.
  • Occupancy sensors reduce energy use and extend fixture life.
