Huston’s Electrical Service Division recently had the opportunity to assist in retrofitting the interior lighting at the Montgomery Aviation / Indy Executive Airport in Zionsville, IN. We worked closely with Sean White, General Manager, in finding the appropriate LED fixture for the airplane hangars.
Pete Septoski evaluated the different LED lighting options and decided on the RAB Rail225 high bay fixture. The new LED fixtures replaced existing 400 watt HID high bay fixtures.
The improvement was monumental and resulted in increased quality and quantity of light, 50% reduction in energy cost and a rebate check from the local utility provider of $10,701.00. Sean commented, “I would say that the improvement in lighting in our hangers is 10 fold what it used to be. It has made a huge difference for both our employees and our customers and we look forward to recovering our costs quickly through the energy savings.”
Lighting retrofits have additional benefits such as; increased sales, safety and security, employee morale, lower energy costs and all around aesthetics.
If you are interested in a lighting survey and cost analysis, please give Pete Septoski a call at (317) 804-9009 or send him an email at [email protected] Huston provides lighting survey and assessment at no charge and will also help find any rebate monies available.
