Challenge:
Galeana’s Service Center had close to 100 lighting fixtures in their building. The previous fixtures were 2 and 4 tube, T8 and T12 fluorescent bulb style fixtures. Unfortunately, those lights were not bright enough for the mechanics to see into engines and under the hoods. On top of that, the old lamps were inefficient, wasting energy and money. Most of them wore headlamps or had extra flashlights set up in order to see what they were doing, creating a challenge and causing frustration. In this case, more lights were not better, what they needed were brighter lights. Galeana’s was an existing customer of ours, so when they were ready to upgrade their shop lighting, they gave us a call.
Installation:
Our technicians and Master Electrician worked hard, replacing over 125 existing T12 and T8 style fixtures. For the majority of the install we were able to use a 19 foot lift to reach the old fixtures. Areas not accessible with the lift, required ladders to reach the old fixtures. Once the old fixtures had been removed and properly disposed of, the new fixtures were wired and installed as a 1 for 1 replacement. The new LED fixtures required a 10ft whip extension wire to reach the outlets which the technicians prefabbed at our shop before heading to the jobsite. The new LED fixtures are much brighter, a uniform color, use less energy, and are more cost effective than the old T8 and T12 light fixtures.
The entire shop is so much brighter! Our Master Electrician carefully planned where each new LED fixture would be placed based on the type and amount of work stations below. Our crew worked closely with Galeana’s crew to ensure that they would have the perfect amount of lighting at each service station. Headlamps for the mechanics are no longer necessary! While we were there, we also installed two new exit signs along with new LED lighting in both of their Service Sales offices.
Results:
Our customers at Galeana’s are extremely pleased with the results. The new fixtures will save Galeana’s approximately $30,000 over the next ten years in maintenance alone along with reducing their energy bill significantly over the life of the fixtures. You can even see the difference in pictures! Their shop looks much brighter and cleaner with new LED lighting. The many mechanics that work at Galeana’s Van Dyke Dodge Ram are now able to see the engines they are working in without using additional lighting. Replacing fluorescent lighting can improve overall health by eliminating the striating flickering lights that cause headaches and sick days! Check out these before and after images of their shop. Brighter is always better, don’t let dim lighting slow you down anymore! Thank you to our friends at Galeana’s for this opportunity to help upgrade their business.
