A major manufacturer of floor mats converts a rubber manufacturing plant to LED lighting, reducing energy use by 650 kWh per day and improving the light quality, reports Maury Wright.

“LED lighting has certainly succeeded broadly in many applications including street lights. In the industrial space, the success has come primarily in two areas – refrigerated facilities and warehouses.”

“Before embarking on the project, Mountville analyzed the cost of the project and the expected payback. The company used its own in-house electricians to install the lights, although they did account for that cost in their analysis including the need to rent a hydraulic lift for a month. They based the projection on an electrical cost of $0.10/kWh. The expectation was that the project would payback in 2.2 years. “
