Customer Requirement
hours
GE, given its Environmental, Health, Safety (EHS) priorities was looking for
an energy-efficient lighting solution that would reduce the environment
impact, provide a comfortable ambiance and create a safe working environment especially in the production areas. The ceiling height of this
facility was between 13-18 m and the required lux levels was between
250-300 lux. Traditionally, for this design 875 quantities of 225 kW, 4 X 54
T5 luminaire had been suggested.

Proposed Solution
The Pune facility chose GE's 242 W Albeo high bay lighting which is known for its energy efficiency, ease of installation
and customizable configurations. Currently, 460 Albeo fixtures have been installed in the facility. A dimming option
was also installed to suit different work environments and conserve energy especially in situations where lower lighting is required.

Energy Saving due to
LED
46%

Significant energy savings in the range of 46 % was seen

The ALBEO fixtures because of its long life of 100,000 hrs can significantly diminish maintenance needs especially
in difficult-to-reach areas where swapping bulbs requires special equipment and trained personnel

Apart from improving the safety, Albeo because of its uniform light distribution enhanced the indoor light quality
and also helped create an aesthetically pleasing environment
“ After much deliberation, we decided to try out Albeo, the new GE variant in high bay LED lighting.
The benefit which we reap out of this decision is that the number of fixtures has reduced to 50% when
compared to our earlier proposal of T5 fixture. This give us almost 50% energy saving and more importantly a very clean & simple looking roof without any compromise in the lux level. ”
