Overview

The Safety Source LLC partnered with US Farathane Port Huron to implement a strategic LED lighting upgrade at their production facility located in Port Huron, Michigan. The facility relied on outdated, first generation LED lighting, resulting in excessive energy consumption, high operating costs, and inefficient lighting performance.

Project Objectives

Reduce Energy Consumption:
Significantly cut down on energy usage through the installation of current generation efficient LED lighting.

Improve Lighting Quality:

Enhance the overall lighting quality within US Farathane Port Huron facility.

Environmental Impact:

Lower the carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption.

Results

Energy Savings:
The project achieved an 18% reduction in energy use across production areas.

Lighting Quality:
Upgrading to LED fixtures significantly improved lighting quality, enhancing visibility and comfort, and more than doubling light quality in some areas.

Cost Savings:
The upgrade translated into over $6,700 in annual energy cost and maintenance cost savings for US Farathane, along with $2,400 in rebates.

Despite already having LED Lighting, The Safety Source was still able to provide more efficient lighting by updating to current gen LED fixtures.

Scope Of Work

Reduced high bay lighting energy consumption by 18% by replacing 40 400W Generation 1 LED Fixtures with 40 330W Litetronics High Bay Pro LED Fixtures.
