1: How Jakarta Hypermart Cut Energy Costs by 61% While Increasing 30% Lux with Reapway LED Tube
1) Introduction
Project Name: Hypermart Jakarta, Indonesia
Hypermart Jakarta, one of Indonesia’s largest supermarkets, sought to modernize its lighting system to reduce energy costs
while maintaining bright, uniform illumination for customer comfort and operational efficiency. The store previously used
1.2m 36W fluorescent tubes (69lm/w, 2484lm), which consumed excessive energy and required frequent replacements.
This case study highlights the successful transition to Reapway Luxora Full Plastic LED T8 Tubes—1.2m 12W, 180lm/w,
2160lm—achieving 61% lower energy use and superior illuminance with a sleek, durable design.
2) Setting the Scene
The supermarket’s aisles and checkout areas relied on outdated fluorescent lighting, which posed several challenges:
- High Energy Consumption:36W per tube, with 12-hour daily operation, led to soaring electricity bills.
- Poor Light Quality:Uneven coverage and flickering caused eye strain for shoppers and staff.
- Frequent Maintenance:Fluorescent tubes degraded quickly, requiring replacements every 6–12 months.
Hypermart needed a solution that combined high efficiency, longevity, and enhanced visual clarity to improve the
shopping experience.
3) Results Overview
By upgrading to Reapway’s 12W LED T8 Tubes, Hypermart achieved remarkable results:
- 61% Energy Savings:Replacing 36W fluorescent tubes with 12W LEDs reduced annual energy consumption per tube from 7 kWh to 61.6 kWh.
2.Higher Illuminance: As fluorescent tube waste 50% of their light due to 360° scattering, delivering only 50%
effective brightness (e.g., 1242lm from 2484lm). Despite lower power, the LEDs delivered 2160lm with superior
light distribution, eliminating dark spots.
4) How It Was Done
- Reapway’s Customized Layout Designensured a seamless transition, optimized tube placement for uniform lux levels, leveraging the rhombic angle optical design for 19% higher illuminance vs. standard LEDs.

Key Benefit: Super Higher Illuminance at the Same Power
- Reapway tube lux is 30%, 25% higher than Osram and Philips LED tube @ 1Meter, 2Meters
Our Luxora tube 1.2m 12w: 160lm/w,180lm/w,200lm/w for option, 532lux@1Meter, 133lux@2Meters for 160lm/w.
2.Reapway full-plastic tube 1884lux, 19% higher VS regular full-plastic tube 1580lux.
Comparison Conditions: Same LED chips, driver, and power. Only the diffuser cover differs.
- Quick Installation: Tubes were installed in existing fixtures and easy re-wire installation, minimizing downtime.
5) Customer Reviews
