A customer was struggling with poor lighting, causing dim areas throughout the facility. Additionally, maintenance costs for replacing the aging fixtures were steadily increasing.

The site manager partnered with Martin’s electrical supplier to conduct a thorough lighting audit. The audit revealed that the old fixtures were outdated and inefficient. By upgrading to modern lighting technology, the proposed $140,000 investment would pay for itself in just over a year through energy and maintenance savings.

After replacing most of the lights in the plant, the facility is now brightly and evenly lit, greatly improving safety and worker productivity. The financial impact is significant as well—the customer is saving $104,529 annually in energy costs and $16,530 in maintenance expenses, leading to a total realized savings of $1,210,590 over 10 years.
