A local contractor and a local distributor recently completed three energy efficient high-bay lighting projects in Kent, Washington using the Aleddra 4-ft LED T8 lamps. The 65,000 ft facility used 400W HID fixtures that provided lighting for both storage and production areas. Providing light levels for safe operation in the production area was important to the overall completion of the lighting project. By replacing 400W metal halide lamp with a combination of 4 & 6-lamp high bay luminaires with occupancy sensors, the energy consumption is reduced to 90W (on average) per luminaire, a 77% saving on energy.
According to Brett Hammond, the project manager, the fixtures for the project were pre-wired so that at the job site all that needed to be done was inserting the LED T8 and installing the fixture, drastically reducing the time to just over 3 days. Aleddra LED T8 tube are on Light Design Lab (LDL) qualified LED products list, so the projects qualified for energy rebate from Puget Sound Energy, a utility company in Pacific Northwest. The rebate covers on the average 40% of the project cost, based on 7¢ per KWh saved. For photo gallery of the project.
