Energy Savings through Smart Lighting 💡

J.N. Eberle & Cie. GmbH is a manufacturing company with high energy consumption. Therefore, we are continuously working to reduce our energy use. A high energy consumption caused by shift operations in the production halls has been successfully reduced.

The switch from conventional light sources to LED had particularly high potential. LEDs offer significantly higher light output per watt and have a lower power drop during continuous operation compared to conventional lights. This is an additional advantage especially in hard-to-reach places such as high-bay warehouses or above machines.

Further improvements were achieved through demand-based control with motion detectors and brightness sensors. In the high-bay warehouse, the motion detectors proved especially effective due to forklift traffic.

The number of light sources could also be reduced thanks to the better brightness.

The advantages at a glance:

• Reduced energy consumption: Electricity savings through higher light output per watt
• Longer lifespan: Less effort required for changing lighting
• Short payback period: The low purchase price makes the switch pay off quickly
• Climate protection contribution: Lower electricity consumption through efficient technology

Since 2023, these measures have saved 78 light sources and approximately 291,000 Mwh/year.
