Industrial Lighting Expertise
Lighting Retrofits That Pay For Themselves
Moonlight Electric Solutions designs and installs industrial lighting systems for plants, warehouses, and process facilities throughout Cheyenne and southeastern Wyoming. From high-bay LED retrofits that cut energy consumption in half to comprehensive lighting controls and emergency egress upgrades, our team delivers lighting projects that pay for themselves and improve plant working conditions.
Most industrial facilities we visit still operate aging metal halide or fluorescent fixtures that consume two to three times the energy of modern LED equivalents. Beyond the energy waste, those legacy fixtures deliver inconsistent color, slow restrike times after power blips, and ongoing relamp labor that piles up over the year. LED retrofits address all of those issues with payback periods that rarely exceed three years.
A high-bay LED retrofit is one of the few industrial electrical projects with a payback shorter than its warranty. The math is rarely close.
Cheyenne plants and warehouses present a wide range of lighting requirements: high-bay illumination over production floors, task lighting at work cells, hazardous-location fixtures in process areas, and emergency egress throughout. We serve maintenance directors, plant managers, and facility engineers across Laramie County, the Cheyenne Logistics Park, and outlying industrial operations.
Our industrial lighting work covers high-bay LED retrofits, low-bay and task lighting upgrades, lighting controls including occupancy and daylight harvesting, hazardous-location lighting for classified areas, emergency and egress lighting, and exterior lighting for parking and yard areas. Every project includes a lighting layout, photometric documentation, and utility rebate paperwork where applicable.
Lighting Capabilities
Industrial Lighting Services
High-Bay LED Retrofits
One-for-one fixture replacement and full re-layout retrofits for warehouses, production floors, and high-ceiling spaces. We deliver photometric layouts that meet IES recommended foot-candle levels for your specific work.
Low-Bay and Task Lighting
LED low-bay fixtures for moderate-ceiling spaces, task lighting at work cells and inspection stations, and supplemental lighting for areas where general illumination is insufficient for the task being performed.
Lighting Controls
Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, scheduled controls, and networked lighting control systems. Layered control strategies typically deliver an additional 30 to 50 percent energy reduction beyond the LED retrofit itself.
Hazardous-Location Lighting
Class I Division 1 and Division 2 lighting for hazardous locations including paint booths, fuel storage, grain handling, and chemical processing areas. Code-compliant fixture selection and installation.
Emergency and Egress Lighting
Battery backup emergency fixtures, egress path illumination, exit signage, and central inverter systems. Annual testing and certification support per NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
Exterior and Site Lighting
Parking lot, yard, building perimeter, and security lighting using LED fixtures with photocell and motion controls. Cutoff optics that meet dark-sky requirements where applicable.
Installation Process
How Lighting Projects Work
Lighting Survey and Photometric Analysis
We survey existing fixtures, measure current light levels, and develop a photometric layout for the proposed retrofit. The layout confirms the new fixtures will deliver appropriate light levels for the work being performed in each space.
Energy Analysis and Rebate Filing
We calculate energy savings, payback period, and available utility rebate amounts. We file rebate paperwork with Black Hills Energy or Rocky Mountain Power on your behalf where the utility offers commercial lighting incentives.
Material Procurement and Staging
We procure fixtures, controls, and accessories. For phased retrofits, we stage material to match your shutdown availability and minimize the area affected at any one time.
Installation, Commissioning, and Documentation
Our electricians install fixtures and controls, commission any networked control system, and verify final light levels with a meter survey. You receive a documentation package including photometric layouts, fixture cut sheets, and rebate confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial Lighting FAQs
What payback should I expect on a high-bay LED retrofit?
Most industrial high-bay retrofits achieve payback within eighteen to thirty months when including energy savings, reduced relamp labor, and utility rebates. Facilities running multiple shifts see faster payback because the energy savings accumulate across more operating hours. We model the payback during the proposal phase using your actual utility rate.
Are utility rebates available for industrial lighting?
Yes. Black Hills Energy and Rocky Mountain Power both offer commercial and industrial lighting rebate programs that meaningfully offset retrofit costs. Rebate amounts depend on fixture wattage reduction and quantity. We file all rebate paperwork on your behalf as part of the project.
Can lighting controls integrate with my existing building automation?
Yes, depending on the control platform. Modern networked lighting control systems support BACnet integration with most building automation platforms. For simpler installations, standalone occupancy sensors and daylight controls work independently and require no integration.
Do you handle hazardous-location lighting?
Yes. We design and install Class I Division 1 and Division 2 lighting for hazardous locations using approved fixtures, sealed conduit fittings, and the explosion-proof installation practices required by the NEC. Common applications include paint booths, fuel handling areas, and certain process zones in agricultural and chemical facilities.
How do you minimize disruption to plant operations during a retrofit?
We schedule retrofit work during planned shutdowns where possible, or perform work area-by-area during off-shift hours. Most facilities can be retrofitted with minimal production impact by sequencing the work around the production schedule. We discuss the sequencing plan during the proposal phase.
Can you handle emergency and egress lighting code compliance?
Yes. We install emergency lighting and exit signage to meet NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and IBC requirements, perform initial commissioning of battery backup systems, and support annual testing and certification. Call (307) 757-5553 to discuss your facility requirements.
Will LED fixtures hold up in an unheated Wyoming warehouse?
Yes, and that is one place LED beats the old metal halide outright. Metal halide is slow to restrike after a power blip and dims in the cold, while quality LED high-bays come on instantly and actually run more efficiently at low temperatures. For an unheated Cheyenne warehouse or a cold-storage area we spec fixtures rated for the low-temperature range and seal them against dust and moisture, so they light up full and fast on a January morning.
Can better lighting improve safety on the plant floor?
It does, measurably. Even, high-quality light cuts the shadows and glare that hide trip hazards and forklift traffic, and the consistent color rendering of LED makes labels, gauges, and machine guarding easier to read at a glance. We design the layout to a target foot-candle level for the task at each work cell, not just an average across the building, so the floor is lit where people actually work.
