Case Study: PPL Power Generation Facility saves energy and reduces maintenance with Dialight LED obstruction lighting

PPL Power Generation Facility cuts obstruction lighting energy use by 90% with Dialight

PPL Power Generation Facility, a power plant in Pennsylvania, faced high energy and maintenance costs from its outdated Xenon obstruction lighting on two chimney stacks. The facility needed a more efficient and reliable solution to meet FAA regulations while reducing its environmental impact. They turned to vendor Dialight for its LED obstruction lighting products.

Dialight implemented its L864/L865 dual LED obstruction fixtures, which use 90% less energy than the previous system. The solution drastically cut annual maintenance costs from approximately $12,000 and provided reliable, long-term performance that ensures FAA compliance. Dialight's LEDs also enhanced safety for both workers and migratory birds, supporting the plant's broader environmental and safety initiatives.
