Maximizing Efficiency in Cold Storage: The LED Retrofit Advantage

LED lighting is ideal for cold storage, offering instant illumination, long lifespan, and minimal heat output, which dramatically lowers maintenance and energy costs. Its durability improves safety, visibility, and operational efficiency. Operators can maximize savings by taking advantage of available incentives to adopt LEDs. Thrive Electrify is here to guide you through the retrofit process, including incentive applications, for a smooth transition to enhanced lighting.

LEDs Improve Operations

Efficiency in Cold Conditions

Unlike traditional lighting, LEDs perform exceptionally well in low temperatures, with no warm-up time required, providing instant, consistent illumination that enhances safety and productivity in cold environments.ike traditional lighting, LEDs perform exceptionally well in low temperatures, with no warm-up time required, providing instant, consistent illumination that enhances safety and productivity in cold environments.

Reduce Excess Heat

While metal halide and fluorescent lights generate significant heat, LEDs produce far less. LEDs help eliminate this issue by staying cooler, improving efficiency and reducing refrigeration costs.

Enhanced Lighting Quality

LEDs maintain consistent brightness over time, unlike traditional HID and fluorescent lights that quickly dim. This stable lighting makes barcodes easier to read, enhancing accuracy and efficiency without the need for constant bulb replacements.

Longevity and Reduced Maintenance

LEDs last 25x longer than traditional bulbs.? This is particularly beneficial in cold storage where maintenance can be challenging and costly due to the harsh conditions.

Durability

LEDs are built to withstand extreme conditions without the fragility of traditional bulbs. They don’t rely on mercury or require a combustible source, reducing the risk of failure in cold weather.

Safety & Cleanliness

LEDs provide bright, even lighting that improves visibility, reduces accidents, and reveals floor buildup, making cleaning more effective and the facility safer.

LEDs Generate Cost Savings

Lower Energy Bills

By consuming less power, LEDs directly reduce your energy costs from lighting by 80%, a significant expense in maintaining cold storage facilities.

Take Advantage of Incentives

BC Hydro is offering limited time incentives to cover up to 40% of project costs. Refundable tax credits are also available.?

Combine with BC Hydro demand response rewards

Lower energy usage with LEDs and take advantage of demand response rewards. Demand-response events are short periods of high demand on our system – lasting no more than four hours each. Shift some of your typical electricity use to before or after the event to earn rewards.

You can earn $75 per average kW demand reduction over the course of the season’s events. The more you reduce or shift, the more you can earn.

For example, if your seasonal average demand reduction was 200 kW, you’ll receive a $15,000 reward.
