Take energy-efficient lighting to new heights
Escalating utility costs are forcing companies in the industrial sector to find new ways to reduce energy consumption while lowering the environmental impact of their buildings.
Monterey provides proven expertise in designing and implementing innovative, commercial lighting solutions for clients in the industrial environment, including manufacturing and processing plants, warehouses and distribution centers. Through our comprehensive solutions, we’ve helped industrial companies maximize brightness in everything from narrow- to medium-width aisles and open staging and assembly spaces–resulting in significantly lower energy and maintenance costs and improved employee productivity.
Cut energy costs by 50 percent
Taking advantage of new developments in fluorescent lighting, industrial clients are reducing energy costs while improving lighting quality simply by installing high bay fluorescent fixtures. Specially designed to light large spaces, high bay fluorescent fixtures are ideal for areas–such as warehouses, schools, gymnasiums, storage rooms and large retail stores–and offer serious advantages over standard metal halide fixtures.
- Energy savings–Linear high bay fluorescent fixtures can help you save up to 50 percent in energy costs. A high bay fixture costs anywhere from $133 to $140 per 4,000 annual operating hours. Standard metal halide technology costs about $275 annually for each 400-watt fixture. At 15 cents per kWh, that’s an estimated savings of up to $142 per fixture, per year.
- Instant on, instant restrike–Fluorescent lights turn on instantly, even after a power interruption, and provide immediate illumination to improve safety and productivity.
- Occupancy sensors and photocells–Generate additional energy savings by pairing a high bay system with occupancy sensor controls that turn lights off when not in use. Plus, take advantage of occupancy sensor rebate programs.
- Consistent light output–Fluorescent lights provide 94 percent of original light output over their rated lamp life. Standard metal halide lamps degrade by almost 35 percent over their life span.
- Enhanced light quality–Fluorescent lamps provide consistent color compared to standard metal halide fixtures that vary in color both initially and over time.
- Improved color–By offering better color rendering, fluorescent lights can make retail displays more attractive, and improve productivity and worker satisfaction in warehouses and manufacturing spaces.
- Better light distribution–Fluorescent lamps are linear in nature and are designed to provide more uniform light and fewer shadows within a specific space.
