96 high-bay fixtures replaced
Warehouse floor, loading dock, office
Key Outcome
Demand charge savings alone recovered 40% of project cost in year one.
Full-size 80 × 200 ft indoor riding arena with attached 24-stall stable and tack rooms. Previous 400W metal halide fixtures created hot spots, long warm-up delays, and high replacement costs. Arena lighting runs 10–14 hours daily through the riding season.

Freestall barns, milking parlour, feed alley
Key Outcome
Cold-rated LED fixtures eliminated winter failures — zero lamp replacements since install.
Refrigerated storage and processing facility operating at -10°C to +4°C. Previous HID and fluorescent fixtures had poor cold-temperature performance and high maintenance frequency.
