Industrial LED Lighting That Pays for Itself
Energy-efficient LED lighting systems custom-designed for manufacturing floors, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Cut energy costs while improving visibility and safety.
Outdated industrial lighting doesn’t just drain your energy budget—it affects productivity, quality, and workplace safety. Delta Wye designs and implements LED lighting solutions specifically engineered for demanding industrial environments, delivering energy savings of 40-70% with improved light quality and dramatically reduced maintenance.
Delta Wye provides comprehensive industrial LED lighting services—from initial assessment through design, implementation, and verification. Our solutions are specifically engineered for manufacturing and industrial facilities, where lighting quality affects productivity, safety, and operational efficiency.
Industrial environments present unique lighting challenges: high mounting heights, dust and contaminants, temperature extremes, and the need for uninterrupted operations during installation. Our experienced teams understand these challenges and deliver solutions that maximize energy savings and light quality while minimizing operational disruption.
Energy Cost Reduction
Modern LED systems typically reduce lighting energy consumption by 40-70% compared to traditional lighting. For industrial facilities with extensive operating hours, this translates to significant cost savings—often with payback periods of 1-3 years.
Workplace Visibility & Safety
LED lighting provides superior light quality, better color rendering, and more uniform illumination—eliminating dark spots and improving visibility throughout your facility. Better visibility means improved quality control, reduced error rates, and enhanced safety conditions.
Maintenance Reduction
LED fixtures typically last 50,000-100,000+ hours—4-5 times longer than traditional lighting. This dramatically reduces maintenance costs, especially in areas with high ceilings or limited access where lamp replacement is costly and disruptive.
Sustainability & Compliance
Beyond energy savings, LED lighting reduces environmental impact and helps meet corporate sustainability goals. Modern LED systems also ensure compliance with current energy codes and building standards.
Delta Wye’s structured approach ensures lighting solutions that meet your operational needs, energy goals, and financial objectives—with minimal disruption to your facility.
We evaluate your current lighting systems, measure existing light levels, analyze energy usage, and identify specific lighting requirements for different areas and tasks.
Our team designs a custom lighting solution with appropriate fixtures, layouts, and controls—providing detailed energy savings projections, maintenance reduction, and return on investment analysis.
We identify available utility incentives and rebates, prepare all required documentation, and manage the application process to maximize financial benefits for your project.
Detailed installation planning ensures minimal operational disruption, with scheduling options including after-hours work, phased implementation, and coordination with planned shutdowns.
Experienced teams execute the installation according to plan, with attention to quality, safety, and facility protection—integrating new lighting with existing controls where appropriate.
Post-installation light level verification, energy consumption measurement, and complete documentation of installed systems—ensuring the solution meets design specifications and performance targets.
High-output LED systems designed for production areas, providing optimal task lighting for quality control, assembly operations, and general manufacturing. Our fixtures are designed to withstand vibration, dust, and other manufacturing conditions while delivering consistent illumination.
Energy-efficient solutions for high-bay applications, providing uniform lighting throughout storage areas with optional motion sensing and daylight harvesting to maximize savings in spaces with intermittent occupancy.
Specialized cold-rated LED fixtures designed for freezers and refrigerated spaces, delivering full light output in low-temperature environments while reducing heat load compared to traditional lighting.
Durable, sealed fixtures for wash-down environments, high-temperature areas, and locations with dust or airborne contaminants. Our industrial-grade solutions withstand the harshest conditions while providing reliable illumination.
Weather-resistant LED solutions for exterior applications, improving safety and security while reducing energy costs in areas that often operate 24/7.
Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe lighting systems for classified environments, providing compliant illumination for areas with flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust.
LED lighting projects often qualify for substantial financial incentives that can significantly reduce your initial investment and improve ROI:
A precision manufacturing facility was struggling with poor light quality, high energy costs, and frequent maintenance requirements from their aging metal halide and T12 fluorescent lighting.
Delta Wye designed and implemented a comprehensive LED lighting solution with task-specific illumination for production areas, automated controls for common spaces, and high-bay fixtures for warehouse sections.

– Operations Manager
Delta Wye selects only proven, industrial-quality lighting components that meet the demanding requirements of manufacturing and industrial environments. We specify fixtures based on your specific environment and requirements—from sealed, washdown-rated units for food processing to high-output, high-bay fixtures for warehouse applications.
Depending on your facility, we can implement various control strategies:
We design our implementation process specifically to minimize operational impact. For most industrial facilities, we schedule work during off-hours, weekends, or planned shutdown periods. When work must be done during operational hours, we implement in phases to ensure continuous lighting availability. Our goal is zero production disruption.
Most industrial facilities see 40-70% reduction in lighting energy consumption after an LED upgrade. The exact savings depend on your current lighting technology, operating hours, and any control strategies implemented. Our assessment process provides detailed projections based on your specific situation.
Industrial LED projects typically achieve payback periods of 1-3 years, with many projects paying back in under 2 years after rebates. Facilities with extended operating hours, high energy rates, or significant maintenance costs often see the fastest returns. Our ROI analysis includes a comprehensive payback calculation for your specific project.
Quality industrial LED fixtures are rated for 50,000-100,000+ hours of operation, which translates to 5.7-11.4 years of continuous operation. Unlike traditional lighting that fails catastrophically, LEDs typically experience gradual lumen depreciation over time. We specify fixtures with appropriate ratings for industrial applications, backed by manufacturer warranties.
Rebate requirements vary by utility and program, but most require pre-approval before installation begins. Delta Wye handles the entire rebate process, ensuring your project meets all requirements and maximizes available incentives. We manage the paperwork, verification, and follow-up to ensure you receive all eligible rebates.
Absolutely. Multiple studies have demonstrated the impact of lighting quality on productivity, error rates, and workplace safety. Improved visibility, better color rendering, and elimination of glare and dark spots all contribute to a more effective work environment. Many clients report measurable improvements in quality metrics and reduced error rates following lighting upgrades.
