Why You Should Upgrade To LED Lighting

Lighting is something that most of us take for granted; How often do we question the amount or quality of that light? Or how much it costs to run and maintain? A better understanding of good lighting practices helps when considering its direct and indirect costs. A bad lighting scheme is a complete waste of energy and is not sustainable.

When it comes to lighting businesses, more and more people are turning to the newest and most innovative lighting technology on the market – the LED light bulb and light fixture. LED is an abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode, a compact semiconductor that gives off bright, cool light when electrified. Business owners are ‘switched on’ (so are we) by this cost effective, energy efficient, bright and versatile lighting option, and there are good reasons for that.

We have 20 for you to consider:

1) Compared to incandescent bulbs, LED lights will save you around 80% of electrical power

2) In comparison with a halogen lamp, there is a 75% saving on electricity

3) They contain no hazardous solids, liquids or gases – which can be harmful to the environment

4) There is no high-powered discharge that can have a detrimental effect on the eyes

5) Despite being cold to touch, LEDs offer a “warm” glow – much like their incandescent counterparts

6) There is no need for excessive maintenance – once they’re installed, they won’t bother you

13) LEDs immediately switch-on with no warm-up time

14) The lights are fully operational in all types of weather conditions

15) They contain no harmful environmental pollutants like lead or mercury

16) They are recyclable

17) The low voltage power supply associated to LEDs increases electrical safety

18) They are much brighter than your traditional lighting solution and will improve visibility

19) They are more flexible, versatile and adaptable than traditional lighting
