Lighting Project
Serta Simmons Bedding is one of North America’s leading mattress manufacturers, recognized for its
innovation, craftsmanship, and trusted family of sleep brands. At their Vaughan, Ontario facility, Reno
Lighting partnered with Serta Simmons to upgrade the plant’s illumination — replacing outdated fixtures with energy-efficient LED high bays.
The result: brighter, more uniform light levels that enhance visibility, safety, and productivity across the
manufacturing floor, while significantly reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

The Challenge

Le défi
Azzurri Soccer League’s existing field lighting system relied on 2014-era halogen fixtures that were approaching the end of their expected product life. The aging system provided limited nighttime illumination, with readings ranging from only 12–22 foot-candles (FC), while consuming approximately 55,680 watts across 68 fixtures.
The system was also limited to illuminating a single FIFA-side field, creating an opportunity to improve both field coverage and lighting performance while reducing the substantial energy demands of the existing installation.
Azzurri needed a modern lighting solution capable of delivering brighter, more consistent illumination with greater efficiency, while enhancing the nighttime experience for players and spectators.
The existing lighting system at Serta Simmons’ Vaughan manufacturing facility consisted of 4 ft, 6-lamp LED T5 ballasted fixtures that had been retrofitted in 2019 — converting from 54W fluorescent lamps to 25.5W LED T5 replacements.
While the initial upgrade improved efficiency, ongoing lamp and ballast replacements (4-lamp and 2-lamp, 347V) had become frequent and costly, impacting both maintenance and lighting consistency across the plant.
To meet current production and inspection requirements, Serta Simmons needed a more reliable, high-performance lighting solution capable of achieving 400 lux throughout the general manufacturing area and up to 780 lux in quality inspection zones — all while reducing energy use and maintenance downtime.
Using a detailed lighting schematic and layout developed by Reno Lighting, the team designed a system optimized for uniformity, performance, and long-term dependability.
Azzurri avait besoin d’une solution d’éclairage moderne capable d’offrir un éclairage plus puissant et uniforme, avec une meilleure efficacité énergétique, tout en améliorant l’expérience nocturne des joueurs et des spectateurs.
