Before working with Electro-Matic, the placement of their light poles in the parking caused a lack of light control and were not providing enough light with traditional HID lighting. So much so, customers began complaining about the light levels being too dark. The HID light fixtures they were using had too low of wattage, and the fixtures were so old that they were admitting a light loss factor of 50%, which is 30% higher than average.

The customer reduced increased light levels by 2/3 and decreased his energy consumption by 2/3, which is a little different than the 2/3 energy reduction and 1/3 increased light output we typically see from lighting projects.
