Advantages of Using LED Lights for Business

It’s never an option for businesses to run in the dark. No matter what theme you have, you'll need illumination at some point. Warehouses, stores, cafes, boutiques, factories, and other establishments require sufficient brightness to work effectively! Whether you have a big or small business, high-quality and energy-efficient commercial lighting is necessary as it can lower your energy consumption, enhance productivity, provide security and influence your customer's moods.

 

Benefits of Using Energy-Efficient Commercial Lights

If you have a functioning lighting system you've utilised for years, you may wonder if it's necessary to change it. It's already working for your business, and the familiarity makes it easier to manage. While this is understandable, you also need to learn about the new things that are released in the market!

Fluorescent tubes may be a staple in many offices in the past. However, with the recent developments in the lighting industries, more energy-efficient alternatives were released. If you don't make the upgrade, you're spending your precious money on something that you don't have to!

So, to give you more idea why using energy-efficient commercial lighting can help your company earn more, here are some benefits when using them!

 

Benefit #1: Lower Electrical Consumption

Initially, when switching your entire office or establishment to LED (the most energy-efficient lighting option), you might be shocked by the cost, primarily if you're operating a facility with multiple floors. To lessen the burden, you can upgrade per section or level until your entire building is fully illuminated with energy-efficient fixtures!

While the switch can be daunting, the effect of doing so is worth it! Traditional lighting consumes energy like thirsty athletes in a marathon. With LEDs, it's like sipping a cup of tea on a relaxing afternoon. Because of the 90% reduction in your energy consumption, your energy bills will go down, and eventually, after a few months (depending on the scale of your upgrade), you'll be able to get back your initial investment!

 

Benefit #2: Improve Productivity

Daylight is also considered an energy-efficient lighting solution. In fact, it's the best source of illumination you can get! Since using natural light decreases the artificial lighting you need, you can further reduce your electrical expenses.

In addition, sunlight significantly impacts your employees' well-being and mental state. If your office, store or building has enough sunshine going in, the environment will be immaculate, and everyone inside will feel motivated and productive!

Say sunlight is not accessible in your office. You can set up an excellent indoor lighting system with LED panels, LED battens and others to replicate the brilliance natural light brings. Select the appropriate colour temperature and adequately position your fixtures for incredible results!

Benefit #3: Lessen Heat Waste

Traditional lighting solutions like incandescent bulbs convert more power into heat, about 90%, rather than light. In turn, the heat waste forces the HVAC system to exert more effort, causing an increase in your electrical consumption. With LEDs, it's the opposite. It converts around 95% of the power into light, and only about 5% becomes heat waste. This is why when you touch a working LED bulb, it only feels slightly warm. If you try touching an incandescent bulb that's just switched off, you might burn yourself!

 

Benefit #4: Longer Average Lifespan

LED light bulbs are designed to last longer than traditional lighting fixtures. If an incandescent bulb can last for 1,000 hours and a fluorescent tube can last for 15,000 to 20,000 hours, an LED fitting can live up to about 50,000 hours!

With the increased lifespan of LEDs, you don’t need to purchase replacements constantly and spend time and effort swapping out busted bulbs. Also, LED bulbs don’t burn out. Once they reach their average lifespan, their brightness will slowly depreciate until it becomes too dim to provide sufficient luminance.

 

Benefit #5: Promotes a Better and Safer Workspace

Because of the outstanding light quality of LED lights, they can create a safe environment where people will not worry whenever they walk around. Since everything is well-lit and visible, the chances of tripping, slipping and falling lessen. For factories, warehouses and other industrial facilities, this safety precaution is necessary to ensure the welfare of everyone!

When you pair your indoor and outdoor LED lighting with motion sensors, you can utilise it as an extra security measure. Since the lights will switch on whenever someone is within the sensing range, that person will be started and leave!

Also, motion sensor lighting can further reduce your energy consumption. Your lights will never be left on as they automatically switch off and only work when necessary!

 

Types of Lighting to Use for Your Business

There are many lighting solutions that you can add to your store, building or office. The only problem is because of the numerous selection, it can get overwhelming! So, to reduce the pressure, here are some fixtures you should consider adding to your space.

  • Task Lighting – This fixture is necessary to provide ample illumination in spaces where people work. If your business is particular about details, you must guarantee that your task lighting is enough and set up correctly.
  • Recessed Downlights – This fitting is installed flush against your ceiling. This will be an excellent choice if your store has low ceilings since it does not occupy any vertical space. Also, downlights have beautiful finishes that add a modern touch to a room!
  • Ceiling Spotlights – If you need a ceiling light that changes direction, this fitting is ideal for your requirements. It comes in 1, 2, 3, or 4 spotlight heads which is convenient if you're highlighting multiple areas.
  • Outdoor Lights – Don't forget to set up your outdoor lighting, especially if your business hours do not end before the sun goes down. It's necessary to grab people's attention and keep your property safe. Some of the most common outdoor lighting that you can use are LED bulkhead lights or LED flood lights!

Using LED lighting will keep your business afloat and your electrical expenses less startling. It's the most practical option and, with all the benefits listed above, the obvious choice!
