New Covenant Church Worship Center Lighting Retrofit

Challenge

• The existing 500W quartz lamps burned hot and made the sockets brittle.
• The short life and high wattage of the quartz lamps resulted in frequent maintenance and high energy costs.
• The dimming system and lighting controls were 30 years old with failing parts and incompatibility with LED technology.

Solution

• Replaced the quartz lamp fixtures with integrated LED fixtures that generate less heat.
• Specified an energy-efficient LED system with long life and low wattage.
• Installed a new dimming system and updated controls.

Key Results

• State-of-the-art LED lighting that runs cool and brightens the space.
• Virtually maintenance-free lighting that lasts over 25× longer than quartz lamps.
• Projected energy savings of over $14,000 per year.
• User-friendly dimming system with complete lighting control.
• 260 new fixtures installed without interfering with worship services.

Customer Testimonial

“The sockets in the worship center were deteriorating, and the lamps were difficult to reach and replace. Maintenance was a nightmare, and often one third of the lights were out. VOSS helped us choose a retrofit LED fixture with multiple color temperature settings so we could pick the color that best suited our space, and they also upgraded our dimming system. Voss installed 260 new fixtures quickly and had our lights working without any interference to our worship services. The lighting is even and dims to very low levels, and when all the lights are on at 100 percent, the light output is brilliant. We are looking forward to the energy savings as well.”
