When Frontline International, Inc. set out to design a new plant facility, company officials began investigating alternative lighting options to reduce energy. Frontline International, Inc. is a leading global supplier of commercial restaurant equipment for managing cooking oil. The company’s other facility was lit with fluorescent and incandescent lighting, but officials chose LED lighting for its new 11,200 square-foot facility in the Cleveland, Ohio-area.

Dialight installed 59 DuroSite Series LED High Bay fixtures, which are each 150 Watts and are designed to last 60,000 hours.

Even though Frontline’s new facility is approximately three times the size of its other manufacturing facility, the company was able to significantly downsize the number of lighting fixtures needed in the new plant. They now get brighter illumination with fewer lights, lowering energy consumption.

“Our employees love the new brightly lit facility, joking that it makes the old plant feel like a dungeon,” said John Palazzo, Frontline Company President. “The Dialight High Bay overhead fixtures are a huge improvement, providing light bright enough for assembly work at waist level and even at floor level. The ultra-bright illumination not only expedites assembly, it also makes the work environment much safer for our workers.”
