Orion Energy Systems Inc. announced that it has been awarded approximately $500,000 in orders for a high-temperature environment retrofit project by Clow Valve. Orion will retrofit Clow Valve’s machine shop and foundry in Oskaloosa, Iowa, with over 900 APOLLO® LED High Bay fixtures. Orion expects the project to be completed by the end of its current fiscal year in March 2017. Orion’s APOLLO®LED High Bay fixtures offer high lumens per watt performance up to 152 and a high temperature rating of 131oF. When these two features are combined, the APOLLO®LED High Bay significantly outperforms other LED high bay products on the market. The innovative thermal design reduces the operating temperature of the fixture, which is particularly important in a challenging foundry setting. Better thermal design means the luminaire performs more efficiently in higher ambient temperature environments, extending its rated life and boosting performance. The fixtures are also designed to retrofit a variety of existing legacy HID and fluorescent light fixtures. Clow Valve will replace four different types of HID and fluorescent fixtures with Orion’s APOLLO®LED High Bay fixtures with energy management controls. The retrofit will help to reduce the maintenance and inventory burdens caused by Clow Valve’s legacy lighting system because they will no longer have to maintain or carry inventory for multiple types of lighting systems in their facility. By standardizing with Orion APOLLO®LED High Bay fixtures, Clow Valve will also improve the consistency, clarity and quality of the lighting in their facility. And by installing Orion’s Solid State Lighting technology, they have an upgradeable platform to take advantage of future developments in Smart Building offerings from Orion.
