Case History
TechBrite Turn-Key Chemical Plant
| An Ohio based
manufacturer of chemical pigments hired TechBrite to come up with a
lighting system that would save them energy, improve light levels
and would stand up to the industrial challenges of a chemical plant. TechBrite replaced old 458 Watt HID fixtures that were putting out only 2-10 foot-candles on average. Operators were unable to see a few feet in front of them in some cases. Instrumentation panels were not easily read which could create big mistakes in chemical dosing and mixing! TechBrite installed their T-5 4 lamp moisture proof fixtures using 44,000 hour T-5 lamps with 5000 Kelvin Temperature and 95% reflectors. This energy efficient combination used only 220 watts each, saving 55% energy per fixture! Foot candle measurements were an average of 45. From plant engineering -safety and floor operators. This is one happy chemical plant. In fact one of the largest in the world! Below are pictures after the new TechBrite fixtures were installed: |
