Case Study: RAF Odiham cuts lighting costs and boosts productivity with Dialight LED high bays

RAF Odiham cuts lighting energy use by 70% with Dialight

RAF Odiham, a Royal Air Force helicopter base, faced a challenge with outdated lighting in a hangar used for aircraft maintenance. The facility was lit by forty 400W SON high bays that produced insufficient light, required frequent and costly maintenance, and led to high energy consumption. They sought a turnkey lighting solution from vendor Dialight that would dramatically increase light levels while delivering energy savings and a rapid payback period.

Dialight provided its 170W LED high bay fixtures as the solution. This installation increased light levels from 100 to 500 lux, eliminated the need for task lighting, and reduced energy consumption by over 70%. The creation of lighting zones and the long lifespan of the LEDs with a 5-year warranty provided further savings. Dialight's solution achieved a payback period of just 1.2 years through combined energy and maintenance savings.
