Illuminating Success: ElecTech Transforms Edison Chouest with Energy-Efficient LED Lighting

Jun 26, 2023

At ElecTech, we are dedicated to providing innovative and sustainable lighting solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and elevate the overall performance of our clients' facilities. In collaboration with Edison Chouest, the renowned boat builder and our valued partner, we undertook an exciting project to replace outdated 1000-watt Metal Halide highbays with state-of-the-art 240-watt LED highbays from Everlast Lighting. This transformative initiative was made possible with the support of Entergy Solutions' rebate program, further highlighting our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

As we embark on this illuminating journey, we cannot overlook the outstanding reputation of Edison Chouest. With a rich history and an unwavering commitment to quality, they have established themselves as the premier boat builder in Louisiana and beyond. ElecTech takes great pride in partnering with such an esteemed organization, collectively striving for excellence and pushing the boundaries of innovation.

Edison Chouest, like many other businesses, recognized the need to modernize their lighting systems to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance overall illumination. The existing 1000-watt Metal Halide highbays were outdated, consuming excessive energy and offering subpar lighting quality. The mission was clear: transform their lighting infrastructure with cutting-edge LED technology.

ElecTech, backed by our extensive expertise in LED lighting solutions, collaborated closely with Edison Chouest to develop a tailored lighting plan. After thorough analysis and evaluation, we recommended the installation of 240-watt LED highbays from Everlast Lighting, renowned for their energy efficiency and superior performance. These high-quality LED fixtures would significantly reduce energy consumption while providing exceptional illumination for Edison Chouest's workspaces.

To make this project even more financially viable, ElecTech leveraged the Entergy Solutions rebate program. This program offered Edison Chouest substantial financial incentives to support the transition to energy-efficient LED lighting. By utilizing this program, Edison Chouest not only reduced their upfront costs but also accelerated their return on investment.

The successful implementation of LED highbays brought a multitude of benefits to Edison Chouest:


  • Dramatic Energy Savings: The shift from 1000-watt Metal Halide highbays to 240-watt LED highbays resulted in a 76% energy savings! With reduced energy consumption, Edison Chouest witnessed a remarkable decrease in their electricity bills, positively impacting their bottom line.
  • Enhanced Lighting Quality: The LED highbays from Everlast Lighting provided Edison Chouest with superior lighting quality, ensuring optimal visibility, safety, and productivity in their workspaces. The bright, crisp illumination improved overall visibility, making tasks easier and more efficient.
  • Extended Lifespan: LED lighting boasts an impressive lifespan compared to traditional lighting options. By embracing LED technology, Edison Chouest minimized maintenance and replacement costs, freeing up resources to invest in other critical areas of their business.
  • Environmental Sustainability: By reducing energy consumption, Edison Chouest demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship. The transition to LED lighting aligns with their sustainability goals, reducing carbon emissions and supporting a greener future.


The successful collaboration between ElecTech, Edison Chouest, Everlast Lighting, and the support of Entergy Solutions' rebate program exemplifies the power of partnership in driving innovation, sustainability, and business success. Together, we transformed Edison Chouest's lighting infrastructure, improving energy efficiency, enhancing illumination, and reducing operational costs. This project serves as a testament to the combined efforts of ElecTech, Edison Chouest, Everlast Lighting, and the Entergy Solutions rebate program in championing sustainability and embracing advanced lighting solutions.

At ElecTech, we take great pride in our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. The Edison Chouest project showcases our expertise in identifying opportunities for energy savings and implementing cutting-edge LED technology to drive tangible results.
