LED LIGHT FIXTURES
BayLine LED High Bay
CASE STUDY
National LED installed BayLine LED high bays at Ashley Furniture’s Houston distribution center, improving safety, visibility, and operational efficiency. The upgrade increased light levels up to 50 footcandles, reduced annual energy consumption by 374,000 kWh, and eliminated maintenance costs, all backed by a Ten-Year Warranty.
Opportunity
Ashley Furniture, the world’s largest furniture manufacturer, sought to upgrade their 600,000 sq. ft. Houston distribution center’s deteriorating lighting. Poor light levels, high energy consumption, and maintenance issues affected employee efficiency and safety. Improving lighting became crucial to streamline operations without interrupting daily activities.
Solution
Ashley Furniture partnered with National LED to install US LED’s BayLine LED high bays. These high bays, with a 200,000-hour lifespan, provided superior light output, energy savings, and reduced maintenance. The team performed a one-for-one replacement of fluorescent fixtures and added occupancy sensors to control lighting efficiently.
Results
The new LED lighting improved visibility, safety, and morale, doubling or tripling light levels to up to 50 footcandles. Ashley Furniture expects an annual energy reduction of 374,000 kWh and reduced maintenance costs. The BayLine LED high bays, backed by a 10-year warranty, ensure long-term reliability and efficiency.
