Ottens Flavors
LED solutions that double light levels and slashed costsOttens Flavors, a worldwide flavor supplier and industry leader, recently upgraded the lighting at their research and testing facility to double light levels while dramatically reducing lighting costs. The 100,000 square foot facility, located in Philadelphia, includes offices, R&D labs, warehousing, freezers and production space. Ottens previously spent close to $40,000 a year on lighting energy costs due to their inefficient metal halides and outdated T8 fluorescent fixtures.

The Project
Aelux designed an all-LED solution utilizing the latest, most efficient technology coupled with occupancy sensors in appropriate areas. High-bay fixtures, 2’x4′ drop-in fixtures, outdoor wallpack and shoeboxes were all upgraded, resulting in a brighter space with double the foot-candles that was safer and more comfortable for employees. Aelux secured a rebate for Ottens that covered 25% of the project cost.
