Nuclear Measurements Solution Provider, CANBERRA U.S. has selected Noribachi for LED lighting retrofit in Meriden, Connecticut.
CANBERRA's loading area originally contained a combination of sixteen 400W high bay and flood lamps. By switching the eight 400W high bays out for 300W custom designed Noribachi LED bulbs, CANBERRA was able to completely eliminate the need for the eight flood lights, totally removing the fixtures, and reducing the total power consumption by over 60% while improving light levels. In addition to cutting the energy costs by more than half, Noribachi's LED retrofit solutions extend light source lifetime from 1.5 years to over 5 years.
Thanks to the Noribachi illumination upgrade CANBERRA's global headquarters will save over $15,000 annually on energy costs and will reduce their draw from the grid by more than 63,000 kilowatt hours per year. For comparison, the average American home uses approximately 11,500 kilowatt hours per year, meaning that CANBERRA's energy savings is equivalent to making 6 US homes totally grid-independent, contributing to a stronger, more efficient manufacturing facility and easing demand on the local electrical utility.
As Luke Sutton, VP of Manufacturing at Noribachi, said "CANBERRA was a great opportunity for Noribachi to showcase the superior illumination of LEDs. Noribachi custom retrofit technology allows us to respond very precisely to a customer's demands. We were able to significantly reduce CANBERRA's total energy consumption while increasing overall brightness and quality."
