Case study
Emergent Cold Panamá
Eight-year-old fixtures at the end of their useful life, operating in cold rooms down to −30°C — and a sustainability mandate that ruled out a like-for-like replacement.
The challenge
Cold. Aging. Constrained.
Emergent Cold's Panama facility ran cold rooms and antechambers down to −30°C. Legacy fixtures had aged out, lux levels had drifted below requirement, and a like-for-like swap would have locked the operation into another decade of high consumption.
The deployment
Cold-rated.Plug & play.
Smart Fixtures rated for −30°C operation, integrated into Spark Mesh, with Spark Control tuned to cold-room access patterns.
Smart Fixtures — IL-HBR— Industrial LED with IP66 protection and >180 lm/W efficacy, rated for continuous operation at −30°C.
Spark Mesh— Motion sensors integrated into each fixture, dimming output when no one is in the room.
Plug & play install— No modification to existing electrical infrastructure — swap and commission inside operating windows.
Verified outcomes
Lux up. Energy down.Operation uninterrupted.
