Shining a Path Forward: Ramstein Transitions to LED Lighting

At Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the 786th Civil Engineer Squadron is undertaking a major initiative to replace fluorescent lighting with energy-efficient LED lights, following a new German regulation prohibiting the purchase of fluorescent bulbs due to their high energy consumption. With a team of only 115 electricians tasked with replacing around 350,000 interior and over 8,000 exterior lights, the project represents a significant challenge, further complicated by funding constraints. However, Airmen have demonstrated commitment by volunteering for long hours to minimize disruptions, successfully replacing 500 lights in just 21 days despite harsh weather conditions. The transition to LED lighting is expected to yield substantial cost savings, with ongoing maintenance prioritized to ensure mission success while navigating the logistical hurdles of limited personnel and resources.
