High-output lighting for demanding environments. Lower energy bills guaranteed.
Industrial facilities run hard. Your lighting should keep up — without costing a fortune to operate. We design and install LED systems built for warehouses, manufacturing floors, and heavy-use industrial environments across Canada.
Metal halide and fluorescent high-bays are among the most expensive fixtures to run.
Industrial facilities face a compounding lighting cost problem. High-bay fixtures running on metal halide or T5/T8 fluorescent technology consume far more energy than their LED equivalents — often 2 to 3 times more — while delivering inferior lumen output and requiring frequent, expensive maintenance.
In a large warehouse or manufacturing facility running 16 hours a day, the annual cost of legacy high-bays can reach $50,000 to $150,000 in energy alone. Add ballast replacements, re-lamping cycles, and the labour to execute them at height, and the true operating cost is substantially higher.
A properly specified LED retrofit cuts that energy spend by 50–65% and eliminates the majority of ongoing maintenance — with a payback period that consistently lands under three years.

Built for the environments that put lighting to the test.
Industrial LED isn't one-size-fits-all. Fixture selection, mounting height, lumen output, and IP rating all vary by environment. We specify for the application, not off a shelf.
Warehouses & Distribution Centres
High-bay and low-bay LED for racking aisles, loading docks, and receiving areas. Optimised for forklift traffic, vertical stack illumination, and long operating hours.
Light Manufacturing & Assembly
Uniform, high-CRI illumination for production lines and assembly areas where task accuracy and worker comfort directly affect output quality.
Cold Storage & Refrigerated Facilities
LED fixtures rated for operation in sub-zero environments. Faster warm-up, no lumen depreciation in cold, and significantly lower heat output than legacy alternatives.
Hazardous & Dusty Environments
IP65+ and explosion-proof rated fixtures for facilities where dust, moisture, or flammable materials demand a higher specification.
Automotive & Service Facilities
High-output LED for service bays, paint booths, and parts storage. Consistent colour rendering for detail work and improved visibility across the full workspace.
Loading Docks & Yard Areas
Exterior and semi-exterior LED for covered loading areas, yard lighting, and perimeter security — designed for exposure to weather and impact.
Industrial environments need more than a standard retrofit.
Specified for the application
The wrong fixture in an industrial environment — wrong IP rating, wrong beam angle, wrong lumen output for the mounting height — performs poorly and fails early. We assess the environment first and specify accordingly. Every fixture recommendation is justified against the application.
Installed for the environment
Working at height in an active industrial facility requires planning, the right equipment, and coordination with your operations team. Our installation crews are experienced in industrial environments and work to minimise production downtime throughout the project.
Performance that holds over time
Industrial-grade LED fixtures are rated for 50,000+ hours of operation. In a facility running 16 hours a day, that's over eight years before the first lamp change — compared to 12–18 months for metal halide. The maintenance savings compound significantly over the fixture lifespan.
"Brian and his team at Efficient Eco Solutions were great to deal with, making this transition absolutely seamless. The results inside the facility have been dramatic."

What an industrial retrofit looks like on the balance sheet.
Based on a representative large-bay warehouse scenario. Your figures will vary — which is why we calculate them precisely before you commit.
Large Warehouse — Representative Scenario
280 × 200W metal halide high-bays, 16 hrs/day operation
| Before | After | |
| Annual energy cost | ~$56,800 | ~$22,700 |
| Annual maintenance cost | ~$14,000 | ~$2,100 |
| Total annual cost | ~$70,800 | ~$24,800 |
| Annual savings | — | ~$46,000 |
| Retrofit investment | — | ~$108,000 |
| Simple payback | — | ~2.3 years |
| 10-year net savings | — | ~$352,000 |
Figures vary by region, fixture count, and daily operating hours. Our assessment calculates your numbers precisely — including your local electricity rate.
Questions we hear from industrial clients.
In most cases, yes. We phase installation by zone so your facility continues operating throughout the project. For facilities that can't tolerate any disruption, we schedule work during shutdowns or off-shift hours.
Our installation teams are equipped for high-access work — including scissor lifts, boom lifts, and working platforms. Height access and all associated safety requirements are included in our project scope.
Not all LED fixtures are equal. We specify IP-rated and vibration-resistant fixtures appropriate for the environment. If your facility has specific hazardous area classifications, we can accommodate those requirements.
A 200–300 fixture industrial retrofit typically takes 3–7 days with a full crew. Exact timelines depend on mounting height, access constraints, and your preferred operating schedule. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins.
Commercial and industrial LED fixtures we supply carry manufacturer warranties of 5 years minimum — with many flagship products warranted for 7–10 years. Full warranty terms are included in every project proposal.
