Case Study: EiKO Provides Efficient Lighting Solution for Newly Built Horse Barn
Pro Electric LLC had a customer that had just constructed a new horse barn and was looking to light it quickly. The barn was designed to be lit with ten high bay lights for maximum efficacy and efficiency.

This high lumen output and the long life of the fixture – 72,000 hours – made it an ideal choice for the application.
