led lighting technology

The most popular current lighting types are still Incandescent and Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs). Both cost more to operate then LED and can have potentially harmful effects.

Five reasons your current lighting can be considered bad  

1. As a standard incandescent bulb generates light, 90% of the electricity used is just to heat the bulb. You are paying for more electricity to heat up light bulbs than light the building 

2. To compensate for the additional heat created by your lights, your HVAC systems must work harder, which is costing your business even more money.

3. Annual maintenance and replacement cost of current bulbs have been as high as a 3 times the monthly lighting expense. In one case, this was over $35,000. Why pay three additional months of electricity every year?

4.  CFLs still contain mercury, which can be dangerous for your employees and the environment. 

5. Although becoming a bit more popular, CFLs remain costly to maintain, can be difficult on the eyes, and have a much shorter life span than LEDs. 

Multiple studies have proven with  proper replacement fixtures and implementation, over 75% of your lighting expense will be eliminated.  

Six (+ 1) reasons why LED Lighting really is that good

1. LED Lighting is installed with a minimum of a 5-year warranty on any  product

2. LEDs do not contain mercury 

3. LEDs have an average lifespan of over 10 years

4. LEDs minimize or eliminate a significant cost for maintenance and replacement

5. LEDs have no “warm up” period, eliminating the additional electricity and strain on your HVAC system

6. LEDs provide a cleaner, more  reliable lighting source 

7. LED lighting comes in a variety of brightness and colors to help improve ambience 

Significant additional benefit comes from the cost to operate LED lighting due to low wattage requirement. See below for wattage comparison.

Current Watts         Proposed LED Watts                   

          23                                             9                                                   

          46                                            10

          90                                            14

        120                                           13

        180                                           30

        240                                           20

        460                                          150

       1080                                        300 

As you can see it he chart above, implementing LED technology can reduce wattage use by as much as 92%! That represents a significant reduction in your monthly electricity bill!
