Costco has steadily grown to become one of the largest retailers in the world and expands into large facilities to accompany their growing customer demand. Maintenance of these large facilities are essential to the image of Costco and find that the short life span of fluorescent and HID bulbs and ballasts are extremely inefficient. The labor and equipment costs to get a lift and replace bulbs and ballasts every year are expensive and cumbersome. Costco started using Carson Technology’s 8-foot 4-Lamp frosted Vapor Tight fixture in the deli, meat, and bakery department.

The 5-year warranty and minimum 50,000 hour life span of Carson Technology’s LED fixtures provide a low maintenance and high-efficacy environment where the lighting remains bright throughout its whole life span. The convenience of installing Carson Technology’s LED fixtures has encouraged the replacement of the HID Acrylic High-Bays into LED to save even more costs and to capitalize on the long life-span of LED.
