Project Location: Italy
Project Time: April 2024
Product Model: XJ-HBS150W
Quantity: 500 units
Brand: SEEKINGLED
This record was written after installation and basic operation checks were completed.
The factory had been running with an older lighting system for years. Illumination levels were uneven, and maintenance had become frequent. The request was not framed as “brighter lighting,” but as a general upgrade to improve day-to-day working conditions without changing the building structure.
Initial Assessment
Ceiling height and layout were fixed. Production lines occupied most of the floor area, which limited installation windows. The target illuminance discussed early on was around 300 lux, suitable for general industrial tasks without causing visual fatigue.
Based on spacing, mounting height, and power availability, the XJ-HBS150W LED High Bay Light from the HBS series was selected. The decision was mostly practical. Fewer fixtures would not meet uniformity expectations, while higher wattage would reduce flexibility.
Installation Notes
A total of 500 units were installed across the facility. Installation followed the factory’s production schedule, which meant working in sections rather than all at once. This required keeping lighting levels acceptable during partial operation.
After sections were completed, temporary measurements were taken before moving to the next area. This helped confirm spacing assumptions early, rather than discovering issues at the end.
Measured Outcome and Observations
Once installation was completed, the average measured illuminance across working zones was close to 300 lux. Variations existed, as expected in a large industrial space, but remained within acceptable range.
From an engineering point of view, the lighting felt calmer. Edges of workstations were clearer, and shadow overlap was reduced. These are small things, but they add up during long shifts.
Feedback from the Site
Employee feedback came gradually, not immediately. Over time, comments focused on reduced eye strain and a more even visual environment. From the client side, attention was on lower energy use and alignment with internal emission reduction targets.
No further adjustments were requested after handover.
This project did not introduce new concepts. It was a straightforward Industrial LED High Bay Lighting Upgrade, executed with attention to spacing, output, and real working conditions.
