Upon inspection, it was found that the company warehouse  Eco-Solution 1: Implementing Motion Sensors
            operates with 13 fluorescent and 32 LED lights that remain   to Reduce Annual Carbon Emissions
            perpetually illuminated.  The associated annual power
            consumption is shown in Table 4.
