Commercial and residential lighting has improved significantly as the rapid development of changing lighting technology takes place.
LED lighting uses up to 75% less energy and 25 times longer than incandescent lighting and the high efficiency and directional nature of LED’s means they are the perfect choice for commercial & industrial use as the conservation of energy results in reduced costs to businesses and homes. And with the soaring costs of energy prices we are always looking at technology to help assist with lowering costs.
Where councils and businesses were using standard lighting we are slowly seeing LED lights replace traditional lighting; street lights are gradually being replaced with LED lighting across the UK. Liverpool City Council is expected to replace 57,000 street lights with an expected saving in maintenance alone of £2.7 million over 5 years and saving over 1400 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
Because of the benefits that LED Lighting brings, car parks and outdoor areas are all having their lighting replaced — not only for cost solutions but for the security benefits they bring too.
Using LED lighting in warehouses has many benefits including minimising warehouse disruption with changing lighting units on a regular basis — the LED is a cost effective, time saving, energy reducing alternative to standard lighting and provides excellent visibility in problem areas such as high racking aisles and high ceilings of logistical spaces making the warehouse environment a safer place to work.
All round the LED is a great alternative to normal standard lighting for commercial, industrial and lighting within the home and although the initial cost to install LED’s may be higher ultimately a huge saving can be made over the years over the longevity of the light.
Main benefits:
- Considerable reduction of operational costs in terms of energy and associated carbon costs
- Reduced carbon footprints
- Minimal lighting maintenance
- Optimised light quality in aisles and open spaces
