Overview

  • Cellino Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric completed a full upgrade of the lighting and electrical infrastructure at a commercial facility in Buffalo, NY.
  • 40 new high-bay LED fixtures were installed, replacing the facility’s existing high-bay lighting system.
  • Fixtures were mounted 30–40 feet above the finished floor using Unistrut supports spanning existing structural beams, with each fixture chain-hung for a secure installation.
  • 3 new dedicated circuits were added to support key operational equipment:
    • A dedicated circuit for a lift charging station
    • A new 120V circuit for a desk area, complete with a receptacle and cover plate
    • A dedicated circuit for a floor cleaner charging station with the proper receptacle configuration
  • All work was completed in accordance with NEC standards and manufacturer specifications.

Key Challenges

  • Height & Mounting Complexity: Installing 40 high bay fixtures at 30–40 feet above the finished floor ruled out standard mounting approaches.
  • Live 277V Circuit Integration: Each of the 40 fixtures needed to be tied into the existing 277V lighting circuits, requiring precise circuit mapping, connector selection, and load balancing across the entire workspace.
  • Dedicated Circuit Sizing: Each of the 3 new circuits had distinct requirements: a lift charging station, a desk area receptacle, and a floor cleaner charging station; each needed individually sized wiring, breakers, and receptacle configurations.
  • Operational Continuity: All work had to be sequenced around an active commercial facility to eliminate unplanned downtime and avoid disruption to daily operations.

Our Approach

Cellino resolved each challenge with a phased, non-invasive installation strategy:

 

  • Custom Unistrut Mounting System: Rather than modifying the building structure, Cellino engineered a Unistrut support system spanning the existing beams, delivering the same load-bearing stability with zero structural disruption.
  • Single-Mobilization Execution: Circuit mapping, load balancing, and breaker labeling were completed in one visit, eliminating the need for multiple mobilizations and reducing total facility downtime.
  • Live Circuit Integration: All 40 fixtures were installed and tied into the existing 277V circuits without taking the facility offline at any point during the project.
  • NEC-Compliant Testing: Every connection, termination, and circuit was verified through end-to-end testing before handoff to confirm full compliance with NEC standards and manufacturer specifications.

result

The completed project delivered a significantly improved workspace with modern, energy-efficient lighting and expanded electrical capacity to support daily operations. The forty new high bay LED fixtures provide consistent, high-quality illumination across the entire facility floor, enhancing visibility and worker safety.

 

The three new dedicated circuits give the facility reliable, properly sized electrical infrastructure for the lift charging station, desk area, and floor cleaner charging station. Clear breaker labeling ensures facility staff can quickly identify and manage circuits with confidence.

 

All fixtures and circuits were tested upon completion to verify proper operation. The facility now benefits from a fully upgraded electrical system built for efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. The client was pleased with Cellino’s professionalism, thorough workmanship, and adherence to NEC standards throughout the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

High bay LED fixtures provide superior illumination, significantly lower energy consumption, and a much longer lifespan compared to traditional high bay lighting, reducing both operating costs and maintenance needs.

Unistrut is a versatile metal framing system used to create secure, adjustable support structures. It is ideal for high bay installations because it spans structural beams and provides a stable mounting platform without requiring modifications to the building structure.

Charging stations draw consistent, sustained electrical loads that can exceed the capacity of shared circuits. Dedicated circuits with appropriately sized wiring and breakers ensure safe, reliable operation and protect other equipment on the electrical system.

277V circuits are commonly used in commercial and industrial facilities to power fluorescent and LED high bay lighting. They are more efficient for large-scale lighting applications than standard 120V circuits.

Project timelines vary based on facility size and scope. A project of this scale is typically completed within a few days, with careful scheduling to minimize disruption to daily operations.

Yes. Cellino offers flexible financing options to help businesses manage the cost of large-scale electrical upgrades and improvements.
