The challenge

Alphabroder's distribution operation depends on bright, even light across large racking aisles and pick-and-pack zones. The warehouse's legacy fixtures consumed significant energy around the clock and left uneven light that slowed operations and raised maintenance demands.

The solution

NRG Incentives deployed a warehouse-wide LED high-bay retrofit engineered for distribution environments — uniform aisle lighting with instant-on performance — and secured a $16,327 utility rebate.
