High-bay lighting has always been a challenge for industrial

The Xeralux Light Engine for High Bay replaced more than 80 400-watt metal halide lamps, sockets and ballasts with high-quality led linear high bay light. According to Waste Connections' analysis of site energy consumption, the Cold Canyon MRF is now saving 260-285 kWh per day, translating to more than $13,000 per year. As a result, Waste Connections anticipates a payback time of less than three years and the virtual elimination of maintenance due to the 50,000 hour projected lifetime of the installed products.

"High-bay lighting has always been a challenge for industrial and commercial property owners, due to its high energy consumption and the high lumen output requirements," said Jay Shuler, Xeralux vice president of marketing. "Cree XLamp LEDs allowed us to deliver high-quality fixtures that are virtually maintenance-free and enable the Cold Canyon facility to take full advantage of the benefits of LED lighting."

Waste Connections, Inc. is an integrated solid waste services company that provides solid waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services in mostly exclusive and secondary markets.  The Company serves more than two million residential, commercial and industrial customers from a network of operations in 29 states.  The Company also provides intermodal services for the led high bay light movement of containers in the Pacific Northwest.  Waste Connections, Inc. was founded in September 1997 and is headquartered in Folsom, California.  The Cold Canyon MRF in San Luis Obispo, California processes about 650 tons of curbside and commercial recycling per week, separating various plastic, glass, metal and paper materials and baling them for shipment to market.
