Case Study: Valero improves refinery safety and energy efficiency with Dialight LED lighting

Valero cuts lighting fixtures by 50% with Dialight

Valero, a major North American refinery, faced the challenge of meeting stringent environmental and safety standards while improving energy efficiency at its facility. Their traditional high-pressure sodium lighting was inadequate, causing poor visibility that required workers to use portable task lights and leading to high energy consumption. To address this, Valero partnered with lighting vendor Dialight to implement their SafeSite LED hazardous location fixtures.

Dialight's solution involved replacing the outdated lighting with their full-spectrum LED fixtures, which provided superior illumination and color rendering. This upgrade resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of fixtures needed, a significant cut in energy consumption, and the elimination of maintenance due to the long product lifespan. The improved lighting quality enhanced safety for workers and minimized light pollution. For Valero, Dialight's implementation achieved a lower total cost of ownership and supported the refinery's strong environmental and operational safety goals.
