At ECCO, we understand that reliable, high-performance lighting is critical for businesses operating in extreme environments. Whether it’s snow plow operations, fleet maintenance, or managing heavy equipment, the right lighting directly impacts safety, efficiency, and productivity.
The Challenge: Poor Visibility in Extreme Conditions
Bogus Basin, Idaho’s premier non-profit recreation area, faced serious visibility issues during early morning and nighttime operations in harsh winter weather. Their crews work long hours in snow, fog, and freezing temperatures, where standard vehicle lighting couldn’t keep up. Key challenges included:
- Limited visibility during snow grooming and removal
- Snow and ice buildup on lights, reducing output
- Accelerated wear on equipment due to harsh conditions
To maintain safety and operational efficiency, Bogus Basin needed a durable lighting solution that performs when it matters most.
