Roxane
Jessen, Germany
In the eastern German town of Jessen, the Roxane beverage bottling plant fills approximately 350 million bottles per year with mineral water for various private-label brands.
Roxane’s site managers sought a turnkey solution featuring a reliable lighting system, and so reached out to Thorlux Lighting’s German subsidiary SchahlLED Lighting GmbH.
A total of 104 old T8 fluorescents across two warehouses were replaced on a point-for-point basis with Thorlux Visio luminaires controlled by the wireless SmartScan lighting management system. The result: more light, less maintenance and significantly reduced electricity costs.
The new system was projected to save €10,000 annually; in performance, this was achieved within eight months. The new lighting at Roxane is twice as bright as the previous system; furthermore, some of the luminaires feature integrated emergency lighting, which was not previously the case.
“We are extremely satisfied with the new lighting system in the two halls. The system has fully met our high technical expectations, and the collaboration with SchahlLED Lighting was exceptionally professional at every stage of the project,” said plant manager Jens Strassner. “Through a direct comparison with the lighting from another supplier that had been installed at our plant shortly beforehand, the advantages of Thorlux luminaires and lighting management are very clear to us. We can certainly envisage working together again.”
Based on the energy savings measured in the two warehouses, this lighting investment will have paid for itself within three and a half years.
