Before and After

The warehouse was originally using T5 fluorescent lights in their high bay fixtures. These fixtures were replaced with Apollo LED high bays which potentially doubles the overall rated life hours. As you can see in the images below, switching to LEDs increased the overall brightness within the warehouse space while saving significant costs for their company.
