5 REASONS WHY SWITCHING TO LED IS A BRIGHT CHOICE

As energy prices rise across the world, all businesses continue to be shocked by their electricity bills having such an impact on the bottom line – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Upgrading your lights to LEDs could result in immediate savings to your energy consumption and your electricity bill.

Here’s five reasons why switching to LEDs is a bright choice:

1) COST SAVINGS

LED’s have the power to reduce energy consumption and make big savings on electricity bills. As the most energy efficient of all lighting technologies, they are up to 85 % more efficient than halogen or incandescent lights and 30% more efficient than CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps).

2) FAST PAYBACK

LED lighting upgrades have one of the most attractive payback periods of all energy management solutions averaging around 3 years*.

While quality LEDs may be more expensive to buy initially, the savings they provide on running costs, replacement and maintenance make them far more cost effective than other lighting options in the longer term.

The payback period will vary depending on individual site characteristics such as the number of lights and your energy consumption.

3) LONGER LIFESPAN

LEDs are durable and have the longest lifespan of all other lighting technologies. Depending on the technology you are replacing, they can last up to 10 times longer.

4) SUPERIOR LIGHT QUALITY

LEDs provide instant full brightness at the flick of the switch and hold their initial light output (or lumens) far longer than other lighting options. They also produce a sharper and more vibrant light making objects appear crisper.

Unlike other conventional lighting technologies, LEDs generally use lenses to focus 100 % of their light onto the surface, making them great choices for security lights, spot lights, accent lights and lit signage. Like most things though, not all LEDs are made equal so it’s important to check you’re upgrading with quality products.

5) ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Apart from using less energy to run and therefore reducing carbon emissions, LED lighting has fewer dangerous chemicals and UV ray emissions and the materials inside LED globes can be recycled. In contrast, CFLs use gas, mercury and phosphor to create light and must be carefully disposed of if broken.
