Case Study: Executive Aviation achieves 69% energy savings and brighter hangars with Flex Lighting Solutions

Executive Aviation Hangar Upgrades to LED Lighting with Flex Lighting Solutions

Executive Aviation, a business aviation company operating multiple hangars at a Southeastern Michigan county airport, needed to upgrade aging fluorescent lighting to meet recommended light levels, reduce energy and maintenance costs, and avoid repeat damage from accidental fire‑suppression activation. Eco‑Green‑Energy conducted a free lighting analysis and recommended a Flex solution, specifically the Flex Lighting Solutions Essentials Series 4.0 LED high bay luminaires with a wet‑location rating to meet the customer’s requirements and secure executive approval and budget.

Flex, working with partner Eco‑Green‑Energy, performed a one‑for‑one replacement of 88 fixtures with the Essentials Series 4.0 wet‑location LED high bays, increasing light levels from 25 to 32 foot‑candles and providing even distribution. The Flex installation delivered 69% energy savings, $15,495 in annual cost savings, a 3.21‑year payback, reduced maintenance by eliminating 528 fluorescent tubes, and strong positive feedback from facility staff.
