LOCATION
Since 1933, Southeastern Stages has served travelers as one of the premier motor-coach operators in the United States. Their modern fleet of over 40 sleek motor- coaches, operates daily between the cities of the Southeast, logging more than 3 million miles each year.
EXisting lighting
Southeastern Stages invests heavily in their vehicles for customer safety and comfort. They pride themselves on their dedication to the maintenance and technological advancement of their fleet. Their facility was well-equipped but the workplace had become dark and dingy as the lights aged and wore out. The height and location of the old fluorescents made burned-out bulb and ballast replacement a difficult task. The efficiency of the technicians was being hindered by the failure of the existing lighting. Southeastern was ready for an effective solution.

LIGHTING Solution
The fixtures were retrofitted with crisp, vibrant 5000K LED lamps with high CRI, providing greater contrast between subtle details and allowing intricate projects to be worked on with greater precision.
TEU's main goal was to brighten the shop areas but at the same time doubled the light levels in the parking lot through fixture redirection and increased lumen output. Southeastern's lighting maintenance inconvenience was removed, freeing the technicians to focus on the upkeep of the motor coaches, thus increasing productivity and meeting the company's high standards for safety.
New LED fixtures with occupancy sensor controls provide dim lighting when area is unoccupied but bright light for anyone approaching
