Automotive Parts Warehouse — 800 Fixtures

Detroit, MIIndustrial Facility Manager
ULDLC QPL
Scope

800 × 8ft fluorescent fixtures, 320,000 sq ft distribution center

Challenge

High-bay 8ft fluorescent fixtures with frequent lamp failures in cold Michigan winters. Maintenance costs exceeding $35,000/year. Safety concerns from dark spots in picking aisles.

Solution

Replaced 8ft T8 fluorescent with CL-T8-8F-36W-50-B (8ft T8 LED, 5000K). Instant start at -10°C eliminated cold-start failures. 5000K daylight CCT improved picking accuracy by 12%.

Products Used
CL-T8-8F-36W-50-B
8ft T8 36W 5000K Type B
1,600 pcs

"We had chronic lamp failures every winter. Since the LED retrofit, zero failures in 12 months. The 8ft tubes were a direct replacement — no fixture changes needed."
