For over five decades, Canam Bridges has been a leader in North America’s steel bridge fabrication industry. When their 300,000 sq. ft. Claremont, NH production facility began experiencing the limitations of outdated fluorescent T5 HO lighting, the company sought a modern solution that would improve visibility, reduce energy consumption, and enhance worker safety.
Partnering with Rexel, LEDVANCE delivered a high-performance lighting upgrade using 400 SYLVANIA UFO High Bay 3A luminaires equipped with motion and daylight sensors — transforming the plant into a brighter, more efficient, and more sustainable workspace.

The Canam Bridges production plant relied on aging high-pressure sodium and fluorescent T5 HO fixtures that struggled to meet the demands of a large industrial environment. Employees faced inconsistent light levels, elevated energy usage, and frequent maintenance interruptions. The facility needed an upgrade that could improve visibility, boost productivity, and reduce both operating and environmental costs.
LEDVANCE partnered with Rexel to deliver a seamless and scalable lighting modernization plan. The team selected SYLVANIA UFO High Bay 3A luminaires paired with motion and daylight sensors — a solution designed for large, complex industrial spaces.
The fixtures were installed throughout the 300,000 sq. ft. facility, replacing the outdated legacy system with a high-efficiency LED infrastructure. Motion sensors ensure illumination only where activity is detected, while daylight sensors automatically adjust output based on natural light, maximizing performance and savings.
The lighting upgrade has transformed the Canam Bridges production floor. Workers now benefit from a brighter, more consistent, and safer environment that supports precision and productivity. Energy usage has dropped thanks to LED efficiency and intelligent controls, while reduced maintenance needs provide long-term operational relief.
The project showcases the impact of combining advanced LED technology with thoughtful control strategies — delivering measurable value to both the business and its employees.
