For businesses looking to reduce their energy costs and improve operational efficiency, Emerald’s LED lighting solutions offer a clear path to long-term savings. When Ecovantage partnered with us to upgrade Fantastic Furniture’s Fairfield East facility, the results were remarkable: reduced energy use, lower costs, and a brighter, more efficient workspace.

Project Overview:
Lighting up Efficiency

Fantastic Furniture’s Fairfield East Factory, warehouse, and office facility underwent a comprehensive LED lighting upgrade to reduce their energy consumption and operational costs. 

Ecovantage, using Emerald’s LED lighting products, spearheaded this project to replace outdated, inefficient lighting systems.

Actions Taken: 
Smart Lighting for Smarter Savings

Ecovantage implemented a site-wide LED lighting solution, replacing metal halide high bays, fluorescent battens, halogen downlights, and CFL PL lamps with cutting-edge LED alternatives. 

High-efficiency 150W and 85W LED high bays, along with 25W LED battens and 10W LED shop lights, were installed. 

Motion-sensor technology in low-traffic areas further reduced energy usage by dimming lights when not in use. Lights were strategically repositioned above critical workstations and along new aisles, optimizing light placement and eliminating the need for some existing fixtures.

Results:
Lower Costs, Higher Performance

The upgrade resulted in a 70% reduction in energy consumption, saving Fantastic Furniture more than 1 million kWh annually and leading to projected financial savings of $750,000 over five years.

The facility also benefited from $185,000 in incentives through the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. With a payback period of less than six months, this upgrade demonstrates the power of modern lighting solutions to drive both sustainability and cost-efficiency.
