Neil Huckstadt, General Manager of ColorFX Marketing Services of Des Moines, initially wanted to increase light levels while reducing energy consumption. With Adventure Lighting's help, he found that he was not only able to reduce energy costs, but also receive Mid-American Energy Rebates and substantially increase light levels. This project will have a payback of less than two years. The plant moved from a 460 watt fixture to a 222 watt T8 6-lamp high-bay fixture. If you're coming out to the plant, Neil states, "Bring your sunglasses!" In ColorFX's business, lighting is everything. Neil would welcome any questions you may have regarding this project. Feel free to call him at 515-299-1113. Please Contact us for further questions or to schedule a free energy audit.

BEFORE AFTER
BEFORE AFTER These pictures illustrate the Storey Kenworthy warehouse lighting improvement project. They were able to obtain a 52% energy savings with dramatically improved light levels. Other advantages of the new fluorescent high bay system include instant-on lighting, and reduced lumen depreciation. Not only was Ralph Farnsworth, Warehouse Manager, thrilled with drastic energy savings, but he also feels that the improved light levels will reduce order filling errors. Storey Kenworthy was able to take advantage of Mid-American Energy Rebates that covered 35% of the total cost of the project.
