Achieve Language Academy CFL Highbay to LED Case Study

Customer Profile:

Achieve Language Academy is a free, public charter school located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Achieve is built on the following beliefs:

  • Good schools transform communities
  • Community is created by shared values and common goals
  • All children can learn and achieve
  • Education is essential to a fulfilling life

Goal:

Achieve Language Academy had fluorescent throughout their building and were looking to upgrade to LED. Energy savings were one motivation but the ongoing maintenance involved with the CFL fixtures had grown cumbersome. Highbay fixtures in the lobby and gym had multiple CFL lamps per fixture with some having multiple ballasts as well. This meant when the lights went out they had to analyze whether it was one of the 2 ballasts per fixture or if it was the 10,000 hour CFL lamps, many of which had brittle sockets.

Before: CFL Highbays

After: New Dimmable LED Fixtures

Results:

With the new LED fixtures installed, light levels increased and they would not have to worry about servicing them for many years. They were mounted higher up as well, cleaning up the look of the area as seen in the pictures above. Premier also converted fluorescent tubes throughout the classrooms to Type B double-end wired LED T8 lamps for a quick install and long-term savings by bypassing the ballast.
