Local utility incentives reduced customer’s
upfront project cost by 50%
Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) (Orion
Lighting), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance,
energy-efficient LED retrofit lighting platforms, was selected by a
major U.S. furniture manufacturer to provide its APOLLO® LED High
Bay fixtures for a retrofit of the customer’s legacy high intensity
discharge (HID) lighting systems in a contract valued over
$500,000.
By replacing over 1,000 HID fixtures with Orion’s APOLLO LED
High Bays and smart controls the customer is expected to reduce its
lighting electricity consumption by nearly 80 percent. Further, the
project qualified for an energy-efficiency incentive from the local
utility that reduced the customer’s upfront project cost by 50
percent.
The APOLLO LED’s 152 lumens per watt performance delivers 30
percent more illumination than comparable alternatives. More lumens
per watt means the fixtures produce more light using less energy,
therefore even with the added cost of the smart controls, the Orion
system will yield a better ROI than comparatively priced systems.
The future-proof, modular design of the APOLLO LED High Bay
makes it quick and easy for the customer to install. It also allows
maintenance crews to keep pace with new technology or to meet new
light distribution requirements, such as moving from open area
lighting to aisle lighting, or from high bay to low bay
applications.
Finally, the customer selected the Orion fixtures because of
their compatibility with their smart control system that will
further improve facility performance and maximize energy savings.
Utilizing smart controls, the fixtures’ output can be raised or
dimmed to meet the needs of each of the facility’s production cells
at a given time. The controls are also configured to track driver
and fixture performance, allowing the customer to track and manage
their energy usage and savings in real time.
Orion CEO John Scribante commented, “Combine the highest
performing, energy-efficient LED high bay fixture in its class with
smart controls and a significant utility rebate, and an Orion
retrofit becomes a compelling business decision with an impressive
ROI. Orion lighting systems are designed to span across a facility
ceiling and serve as a powerful platform for integrating controls
for additional energy savings or to solve other business problems.
Today’s controls and software applications can be easily integrated
with our lighting systems to deliver intelligent asset management,
power monitoring, heat mapping, occupancy control, and more.
Orion’s selection for this project exemplifies the value and
potential of our digital ceiling platform.”
