Retrofit Lighting & Controls Solutions
Warehouses and
Manufacturing Facilities
The Challenge and the Opportunity
In today’s competitive global manufacturing and warehousing
market, maintaining tight control of costs and productivity can
mean the difference between profit and loss. With energy costs on
the rise, an inefficient facility is at a competitive disadvantage when
obsolete lighting is consuming up to 15% of the facilities energy.
With lighting representing up to 37% of a typical warehouse or light
manufacturing facility’s electrical expenses, a properly designed
and executed lighting retrofit can createchange®. In fact, a lighting
retrofit can reduce energy usage by up to 60%, improving EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) up
to 17%.

Reducing Maintenance
Improving Worker Productivity
Energy savings is only part of the story. New Solid State
LED solutions from Hubbell Lighting last up to 3 times
longer than Metal Halide or Fluorescent sources and up to
60 times longer than incandescent sources, dramatically
reducing maintenance costs.
Studies have shown that improving the lighting
environment can result in an improvement in worker
productivity by up to 25%. Conversely, poorly designed
lighting retrofits that reduce light levels too far, or increase
glare can increase errors and reduce productivity. With the
largest expense of a business typically being labor, just a
1% drop in productivity can wipe out all of the savings of
a lighting retrofit project. Hubbell Lighting’s createchange®
products, when properly applied can help improve the
lighting environment and the associated performance of
the areas they illuminate.
