In a prosaic but effective sustainability and cost-cutting move, the oxo chemical maker OQ Chemicals has switched over to LED light throughout its plant in Bishop, Texas.
OQ hired Dialight to convert the lighting at its site in Bishop, Texas, to LEDs.
The firm says the lights will cut the plant’s electrical consumption by 500,000 kW h per year, which the US Department of Energy estimates is equivalent to taking 48 cars off the road. The move will also save the firm $50,000 annually in maintenance costs relative to incandescent and fluorescent fixtures, OQ says.
Dialight plc (LON:DIA) is the world leader in LED industrial lighting technology with millions of LED fixtures installed worldwide.
