Overview
Delaco Kasle Processing relied on outdated fluorescent lighting, driving high energy use, maintenance costs, and inconsistent light levels. Rising energy costs made it clear the facility needed a modern, efficient lighting solution with improved performance and control, without disrupting operations.
The Safety Source provided a free no-cost, no-obligation proposal and once approved handled the application paper work in order to secure the largest energy rebate available from Duke Energy. The Safety Source worked around the hectic ever changing production schedule at this facility. The entire building envelope was retrofitted with energy efficient LED fixtures throughout the 236,000 sq. ft. facility.
The LED upgrade resulted in the following savings, improved light levels and maintenance costs avoidance. These LED fixtures have a 100,000 hour life expectancy and come with a 10 year manufacture warranty.
