An ammunition manufacturer in Missouri was struggling with a lighting retrofit from less than five years ago that left savings on the table and inconsistent lighting levels throughout their facility.
They Were Frustrated Because They:
- Trusted Their Incumbent Electrician On the Previous Lighting Upgrade
- Were Unhappy With the Results
- Feared That a Move to LED Wouldn’t Pencil Because of Their Relatively Cheap Cost of Electricity
What They Wanted Was to:
- Improve the Work Environment for Their Employees with Increased Light Levels
- Reduce Maintenance Headaches Changing Lamps and Ballast
- Save Money
- Offset Their Tax Liability with Federal Tax Deductions
Outcomes
20% + Increased Light Levels
48% Of the Project Costs Covered by Utility Rebates
Leveraged the Accelerated Depreciation for the Existing Equipment As Well As Energy Tax Deductions that Surpassed Their Net Cost of the Project
