A Review After the First Month

Manuel Flores Silva
4.5 / 5

We run a shipyard repair bay in Kuching, and the old metal-halide fixtures were failing faster than we could replace them. After the first month with the new high-bay LED arrays, the difference is visible in the work itself. Welders no longer complain about shadows across the hull sections, and the floor stays evenly lit even at the far end of the bay.

The installation took three nights, which mattered because we could not afford to stop daytime operations. Lumieredesoso handled the mounting heights and the control wiring without blocking our crane path. That planning detail saved us more time than the actual fixture swap.

Energy readings from the first billing cycle show a drop of about a third compared to the same period last year. I did not expect that level of change from a single retrofit. The automated dimming schedule also means the lights are not running at full output when the bay is empty between shifts.

One thing worth noting: the commissioning report they left behind is clear enough for our maintenance crew to follow. We have already used it to adjust the sensor zones near the roller doors. That kind of documentation makes a difference when you are managing a large facility.

If you are considering a similar upgrade for a warehouse or assembly hall, I would suggest asking about the control integration early. That is where the real savings come from, not just the fixtures themselves. You can read more about the other client experiences or see how the setup and communication phase went for another facility manager.
