Mixed fixtures caused glare and shadows across platforms and walkways. We standardized the site on sealed industrial linears with matched optics for platforms, stairs, and equipment pads. The consistent distribution improves inspection speed, lowers failure rates, and simplifies spare parts management for crews responsible for routine rounds and safety checks.
Mixed fixtures produced glare and uneven coverage on platforms and walkways. Standardizing to IR3 C1D2 linears with matched optics delivered consistent light levels, simplified spares, and reduced failures, helping crews complete rounds faster and improving visibility at stairs, equipment pads, and access points.
