Chan-L-Wire System

The ChallengeOld, obsolete Wiremold Track System.

Atlas Copco

• The Challenge– Old, obsolete Wiremold Track System.– Upgrade/replace (274) Manufacturing Area 400W MH

Low-Bays within cost/benefit ratio.– Plant lighting layout no longer applicable to tasks.– Corporate Sustainability Goals need to be considered.

High-Intensity Fluorescent (HIF)

• Benefits of Fluorescent– Instant-on.– Terrific lumen maintenance.– Multi-lamp.– Controllable.– Can use T8 or T5HO.

The Solution

• Relight with High Intensity Fluorescent– Eliminate obsolete track system.– Modular power feed & sensor.– Multi-lamp.– Controllable.– Replaced 455W MH system > 234W HIF T5HO.

» 125kW MH» 64.2kW HIF» 60.5kW Reduced (48%)

Modular Feed & Sensor

• Atlas-Copco– Industrial Mfg.

This project has been a success for us in many ways, as an environmental initiative to reduce greenhouse emissions, a tool to increase the quality of our products by improving the lighting quality of our workers, as well as a cost savings measure to help us remain competitive in our market.
