Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) (Orion
Lighting), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance,
energy-efficient LED retrofit lighting, today announced that
Electrical Construction & Maintenance magazine (EC&M) has
named its ISON™ LED High Bay luminaire as a 2017 Product of the
Year Winner in the high bay category.
Debuting in September 2016, Orion’s ISON LED High Bay luminaire
was the first and remains the only luminaire to eclipse the 200
lumens per watt (LPW) energy efficiency barrier with performance of
214 LPW. The luminaire consumes approximately 47 percent less
energy than the average LED high bay luminaire,* thereby offering
the potential to reduce customer utility bills for lighting by up
to 47 percent. Several of Orion’s Fortune 1000 customers have
retrofitted facilities with Orion’s ISON LED High Bay series,
including corporate giants Coca-Cola and US Foods. Toyota Motor
North America, an early adopter of the ISON Gen III, retrofitted
their Georgetown, KY 8.1 million square foot manufacturing plant
with the award winning high bay. The Georgetown facility is
Toyota’s largest vehicle manufacturing plant in the world.
Orion’s ISON LED High Bay series is a solid long term investment
for Orion customers. Not only is it compatible with Orion’s legacy
fluorescent product controls and accessories, the plug and play
modular design serves as a platform that can be upgraded as LED
technology continues to evolve or light level requirements change.
Orion customers who have invested in the ISON Gen II can cost
effectively upgrade their existing platform to the 214 lumens per
watt efficiency of the new Gen III, and continue to utilize their
existing Gen II accessory and control options. This backward
compatibility, combined with high performance, low cost install and
maintenance, and a ten year warranty, is why the ISON LED High Bay
offers the lowest total cost of ownership in its class.
Orion’s ISON LED High Bay was selected from a pool of 155
nominations that were carefully evaluated by a panel of judges
comprised of electrical professionals from the engineering,
contracting, plant facilities and maintenance industries. Orion
will compete for the 2017 Product of the Year Platinum, Gold, and
Silver awards to be determined through an online readers’ poll and
announced in EC&M’s August 2017 issue.
“We are extremely proud of this acknowledgement from EC&M
and its judging panel,” said John Scribante, Orion’s chief
executive officer. “Development of our ISON High Bay luminaire
resulted from investments we have made in new product development,
including the opening of our innovation hub in Chicago and our
recruitment of the industry’s most talented engineers and
designers. Orion remains committed to the ongoing research and
development of new and improved lighting systems that deliver added
value, improved performance and special features for customers
across a range of industry specialties from healthcare and
foodservice to manufacturing and logistics.”
ISON LED High Bay savings illustrations:
When replacing fluorescent products, the savings can be up to 52
percent. For example, a typical facility replacing fluorescent
lighting with ISON Gen III LED High Bays could expect to save over
$75,000 a year and more than $750,000 over a decade.** The ISON LED
High Bay’s enhanced energy efficiency also opens new markets for
Orion, particularly for facilities with shorter hours of operation
or lower utility rates. While earlier systems have been unable to
deliver a clear ROI from energy savings in these more challenging
applications, meaningful savings are now possible in most instances
given the high efficiency of Orion’s ISON LED High Bay
solution.

**Based on replacing 1,000 6-lamp T8 high bay fixtures consuming
221 watts with Orion’s 106-watt ISON™ LED High Bay Generation III,
operating 6,000 hours per year at an electric rate of $0.11.
