Case Study: Tool Bench Lighting for Commercial Workstations
A national storage and packing company sought to modernize its commercial workbench product line with integrated, high-output lighting solutions. Their customers—ranging from industrial packers to assembly technicians—depend on consistent, bright illumination to perform precision tasks safely and efficiently.
The Challenge
The client’s product catalog included multiple bench models, each with different dimensions, materials, and design constraints. This required:
- Custom lighting solutions tailored to each bench style.
- High-lumen output suitable for industrial environments.
- A mix of integrated and optional add-on lighting kits.
- Lighting options that could withstand heavy daily use.
Off-the-shelf fixtures did not align with the client’s installation requirements, output needs, or structural constraints.
“Our goal was to move beyond off-the-shelf fixtures and design specific, high-performance lighting that seamlessly integrated with their diverse product line, ensuring every workstation delivered superior brightness and enhanced functionality.”
The Solution
Alert Reel Manufacturing engineered a complete set of custom lighting solutions built specifically for the client’s diverse product line:
- Integrated Overhead Fluorescent Fixture
- Designed for one of the client’s flagship workbench models
- Hard-mounted and sized to fit existing frame structures
- Provided clear, shadow-reducing illumination for packing and assembly tasks
- LED Light Kits as Optional Add-On Features
- High-lumen output designed for industrial work environments
- Durable and built for extended daily use
- Offered flexibility for customers needing additional overhead lighting
- Compatible across several bench models
These lighting kits allowed the client to offer multiple illumination options, tailored to customer needs—from fully integrated systems to upgradeable add-on kits.
The Results
Why This Matters
Alert Reel Manufacturing’s ability to tailor lighting solutions to multiple product configurations allowed the client to enhance their entire workstation line—boosting usability, improving safety, and meeting customer demand for brighter, more functional work environments.
