PBL series leads the way for major LED upgrade

/ High Bay, Industrial /

LumenFocus recently provided a lighting upgrade project for three distribution centers totaling about 750,000 square feet. Using our PBL series of LED luminaires, we were able to greatly improve light levels (as the customer requested) while using significantly less wattage.

The customer retrofitted 400W metal halide fixtures 1-for-1 using our PBL fixtures in open areas and PBLAs in the aisles. Occupancy sensors were added.

How did the customer benefit?

  • Energy savings of 50-64%
  • Light levels improved by 3-4 times what they were
  • 1.5-2.5-year paybacks based on utility rates and hours of operation
  • Reduced maintenance costs due to longer life
  • The addition of lighting controls can further increase energy savings by reducing burn hours while also extending the life of the luminaires

What fixtures were used?

PBLA 4-footers and 8-footers were used to replace 400W metal halides in the aisleways of the warehouse.

PBLA – LED Aisle High Bay

  • Ideal for warehouse aisles and corridors
  • Enhanced specular reflector designed to provide even vertical illumination on shelving and optimize aisleway lighting
  • Available in 4-foot or 8-foot versions
  • Output ranges from 12,000 to 24,000 lumens in 4-foot version, 23,000 to 42,000 in 8-footer
  • Efficacy up to 168.3 lumens per watt
  • Long lifetime – L70 up to 189,000 calculated hours
  • Upgradeable through Re-boardABILITY
PBLs replaced 400W metal halide fixtures in the more open areas of the facility.

PBL – LED Premium High Bay

  • Extremely versatile, available in a wide variety of options and lumen outputs
  • Available in 2-foot, 4-foot, standard or wide widths
  • Output ranges from 9,000 to over 68,000 lumens
  • Efficacy up to 175.2 lumens per watt
  • Long lifetime – L70 up to 189,000 calculated hours
  • Also upgradeable through Re-boardABILITY

An LED upgrade can provide so many benefits. Better light quality increases visibility on the factory floor and reduces potential for errors. Major wattage reductions help save big on energy bills. Energy efficient LED fixtures and retrofits are much better for the environment than fluorescent or HID units.

Every PBL and PBLA is assembled in the USA – in our Henderson, NC facility. BAA compliant options are available.
