1. Poor lighting is to blame for 30%+ such injuries, which is why business spaces must improve safety with LED lighting retrofits.??
2. LED lighting provides occupants with clear visibility, unlike their traditional counterparts which emit an orange glow, have insufficient lighting output, and are hazardous due to the presence of mercury.??
3. Studies show that improving workplace lighting could reduce accidents up to 60%!?

LEDs have proven to be a reliable and long-lasting light source, and they can drastically reduce workplace injuries. Wondering how? We’ll tell you now!?

How lighting solutions can reduce workplace injuries?

If you’re a business owner or property manager, ensuring employee well-being should be on top of your priority list, and LED lights are the perfect solution. See how below:?

1. Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 85+ for Increased Legibility?

CRI indicates how naturally an object’s colours appear under a fixed light source. LEDs have a CRI of 70+, and this helps employees distinguish between colours on signs, labels, and electrical wires – something that demands legibility to increase safety. In addition, they have a high lumen output that aids in better visibility. ?

2. Low Heat that prevents Shattering or Burns on Contact?

LED lights run at least 35% cooler than their CFL counterparts. Not only does this prevent burns when they are touched by mistake but also minimizes their chances of shattering due to excess heat. That means no burns or cuts and happier, healthier employees!??

3. Low Maintenance means reduced high-elevation work risk?

Unlike incandescent bulbs or CFLs, LED lights to have a lifespan of 50,000+ hours, meaning they need to be replaced less often. In addition, they are less susceptible to premature failure from vibrations, shock, and other environmental factors. This drastically reduces the risk of high-elevation work. ??

4. Minimal mercury exposure – safe for humans and the environment?

While HPS lights contain enough mercury vapor to poison a room of at least 10 grown adults, LED lights are made with non-toxic materials and contain zero mercury. In the unlikely situation that your LED light breaks, you have little to nothing to worry about; we can’t say the same about HPS lights, though!?
