Highline Athletic Club Lighting
Upgrades and Replacements
Burien, WA
Lighting can help people feel energized, focused, and inspired - perfect for an athletic club. Before their lighting upgrades, Highline Athletic Club in Burien described their lighting as bit harsh on the eyes and dim. Now, the club lighting is inviting, bright, and energy-efficient - inside and out. Throughout their parking lot, walkways, and all around their building, bright, full-coverage lighting creates a welcoming and safe environment all year round - especially for their early-birds and night owls.

Solution
- Gym: retrofit 533 existing fluorescent fixtures to use LED lamps, replaced 533 32-watt fluorescent T8 lamps with 11.5 watt LED T8 lamps and added motion sensors to ensure the gym lights are only on when the gym is in use. Lighting energy costs were reduced, lamp life was extended, and future lighting maintenance costs are reduced. With 533 lamps in the gym, the savings will be significant.
- Lobby: Replaced 76 existing fluorescent 32 watt T8 lamps with 19 11.5-watt LED panel fixtures
- Locker rooms: kept the existing fixtures and replaced just the lamps - took out 16 65-watt BR30 lamps and put in 10-watt BR30 LED lamps.
- Parking lot: replaced 6 existing 400-watt HID pole lights with 112-watt LED fixtures and lamps
- Exterior awning: replaced 16 existing 50-watt MR16 lights with 6.5-watt LED MR16 lamps
- Building exterior: replaced 12 existing 250-watt HID wall pack fixtures 75-watt LED fixtures and lamps
Savings
- Estimated ROI: 2.5 years
- Rebate savings: rebates paid for 47% of the project costs
- Energy-efficiency savings: their new LED lamps use 2/3 less energy than their old fluorescent lights.
- Motion sensors save energy by turning off the gym lights when it's empty.
- Slashed maintenance costs. The life of a quality LED lamp is typically 10 times as long as other lamps; a modest lighting budget should be plenty for the next two decades.
Behind the Scenes
Reaching the lights in the high ceilings of the gym and lobby posed a challenge. This Burien building doesn't have an entrance to accommodate a lift. Creative thinking by our team and the Highline team enabled us to get a lift into both the lobby and the gym.
