The lighting challenge
•Plant in continual
operation 24/7
•Old 250W HPS high bays
were actually drawing
300W
•Lamps were lasting 8,000
hours (<1 year) before
needing replacement
•High ceilings mean that
re-lamping involves a
scissor lift and specialist
maintenance personnel –
disruptive and expensive
… not only that

robust enough to comply
with the plant's HACCP
certification
•Very strict about food
safety and the
elimination of any risk of
foreign objects finding
their way into products

The result
•Dialight LED high bays
carry 5-year continuous
performance warranty
•That means maintenance
is eliminated - no more
expense or disruption
•LED high bays can be
expected to last for ten
years, so will pay for
themselves several times
over during their lifetime
as a result of their
savings on power and
maintenance

Customer view from
Matthias Maile, Head of
Electrical Maintenance at
Verallia:
"Our forklift drivers like
the LED light. It's now
delivering 190-250 lux at
floor level. This is the
first German plant in the
Verallia Group to have
LEDs installed and I'll be
discussing this
experience with the
electricians from our
other plants in Germany,
as I'm already planning
to replace all our lights
with LEDs."
