Tempur Sealy Partners with BC Energy Solutions and Orion Lighting for Energy-Saving LED Lighting Upgrades at its Arizona and ...
July 12 2018 - 8:00AM
Orion Energy Systems (NASDAQ:OESX) (Orion Lighting), a provider of
enterprise-grade LED lighting and energy project solutions, was
selected to provide energy-efficient LED lighting solutions to
retrofit two manufacturing facilities for leading mattress company,
Tempur Sealy International, Inc. The upgrade projects for Tempur
Sealy’s Phoenix, AZ and Richmond, CA plants were secured by Orion’s
sales agent BC Energy Solutions and were both completed in fiscal
2018. Orion and BC Energy have also commenced additional retrofit
projects for two Sealy plants in Denver, Colorado and Hagerstown,
Maryland.
The scope and needs of each facility installation varied, but
the largest component of each project involved the replacement of
400-watt metal halide high bay fixtures with Orion’s energy
efficient Apollo class LED High Bay fixtures, as well as other
Orion solutions which consume less watts per hour and deliver more
lumens per watt.
