Charles and Patricia... We at Sunrise invested in 4’ LED lighting recently and can see a benefit in a multitude of ways. Lower operating cost is the obvious publicized benefit but the reduction in area temperature during the summer months has been reported noticeable by employees; only in low celling areas. LEDS offer an increased light dissipation rate meaning a lesser quantity of lights do the same job. We opted to keep the same number of lights due to brackets previously in place thus we are very well lit compared to last season. In addition to LEDs we are using High Bay lighting fixed an estimated 20’ – 22’ above the retail and processing facility.
Mc Cormick Electric of Gays Mills Wisconsin 608-624-3318 engineered and installed our enlightening remodel; Bill or Mick is our contact and could explain the job in contractors detail. Best of luck in your endeavor, Ryan Teach From: Charles Davis Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 2:33 AM To: Apple-crop discussion list Subject: [apple-crop] Grading table lighting We currently use a couple of 4ft fluorescents above the sorting table before bagging. Seems more difficult, as we are getting a little older each year, to distinguish between dark red and brown or black. I was wondering what others were using in their operations? Thank you kind hearted souls.
