The end result is better than expected. Our customer feedback is fantastic, and our sales
team is excited—it is literally like night and day.
Background
When Bob Shuman, owner of Shuman Motors, and Electro-Matic originally discussed the lighting for this dealership, the discussion centered around
adding light poles and additional lights in an effort to increase light levels and attract customers. The logistics and time frame of this option proved to be more than desired.
Analysis
Initial Original lighting: 23-400w mh fixtures with operating wattage of 460 w and 16-250w Mh flood lights with operating wattage of 295w. Total operating wattage of parking lot lights: 15,300w. Annual KwH usage 66,813 KwH.
Objective
While staying within budget—the objective was to increase light levels, and reducing operating cost while drawing attention to the car lot.
Solution
Our team took foot candle readings of the existing system, interviewed sales staff, and listened to customer feedback in regards to lighting in the used car lot. A complete photometric layout was performed with all objectives in mind while considering challenges with logistics. The Electro-Matic products we used were, 23 – 210w AP Series LED Light Fixtures, and 16 – 150w AP Series LED Light Fixtures.
Benefits
Electro-Matic was able to use the existing poles and electrical circuits without creating additional work or added business interruptions. This option saved time and money, at least $60,000 was avoided with the EMP LED parking lot lighting solution while still increasing light levels by almost 300% and reducing energy consumption by 47%. Total operating wattage aſter replacement: 7,230 watts. New annual KwH usage: 35,145 KwH.
