Lighting systems
Administration Area• Recently halogen to LED in all offices, break room areas, bathrooms, etc. • voltage 120-277V. • The fixtures used are Lithonia 2RTL4 48L D49 LP850 N100.• Hours of operation: 24 hours• Future initiatives: Add occupation sensors to shut the lights off when no
movement is detected.
Plant Production Areas• Recently, 250 W induction fixtures instead 400W pulse-start metal halide fixtures.• Hours of operation: 24/7 • Operating voltages: varies between 480V and 277V. There are also lights at 120V
in the old building. • Future initiatives: Corporate Chrysler has suggested to use the T8 fixtures.
Exterior Areas• Replacing with LED lights in all outside areas. • only when it is dark outside. • Most are currently run with a timer but I in the future they could be changed to photo-eyes. • Parking lot and out front lights works with 480V a• Lithonia Fixture DSX2 80C 1000 50K T3M MVOLT RPA DDBXD. • Under outside mezzanine is 120V and the fixtures recently installed are Kenall MS11FD-PP-MW-26L50K-1-DV.
Fan Rooms/Substations • Removing lights and putting in sealed LEDs. • On couple hours each day. • No occupation sensors • Light fixture used: Kenall MS11FD-PP-MW-26L50K-1-DV. • Operating voltages: 120V.
Basements• Similar as the fan rooms and substations except that they are on 24/7 due to cameras monitoring scrap conveyors.

High temperature and an amount of lube/steam mist the die cast machines generate.
Relamped with the 250 W induction fixtures AGT-GC01C-W250-UNV-5000K instead of 400W pulse-start metal halide fixtures.
64 fixtures hanging from the ceiling. The light is used to illuminate the corridor and machinery as is shown in Figure 10 .
The operator tables at the die cast machines have T8 fixtures whose lenses mostly are dirty.
No controls for the plant production lights.

Working spaces where visual tasks are only occasional performed: Category C, 10 - 15- 20 foot candles. Performance of visual tasks of medium contrast or small size: Category E, 50-75-100
ECM Descriptionfoot candle levels very high in the corridor and in the machine areas, but between machines the levels are low. Some levels in the operator tables are high because of the T8 fixtures.
