Summary

This Client was re-imaging the dealership and was interested in improving all lighting levels while being mindful of overall energy and ongoing maintenance costs.  We not only actualized those savings both in terms of energy and in maintenance costs, but we were also able to address several other issues.

Improved Shop Working Environment

Dramatically increased overall lighting levels,  improved qualitative lighting for more accurate colour rendering in the Paint & Body Shops and in the General Maintenance Department.  The replacement of metal halide light eliminated the constant buzzing and provided instant-ON lighting during minor power interruptions.

Exterior Building & Lot Lighting

Additionally, our lighting upgrade provided a solution worked to not only increase lighting levels over four times but we colour match and installed our new Dynapole band poles with the new Gullwing fixtures to meet corporate design design objectives.  This change gave the dealership a very fresh, attractive look in the day with clean white light to display cars at night.

The Results

• Energy consumption was reduced by 42%
• Lighting levels more than doubled through out the dealership
• Lights became “instant-ON” & flicker-free
• Colour rendering improved from 30%
• Maintenance costs shrunk to $0 … for the next five years
