The Benefits of LED lighting for offices, commercial premises and businesses of all sizes

1. Reduce your lighting bills by up to 90%

LED lighting and bulbs are 20 times more efficient than incandescent bulbs and only use a fraction of the energy to produce the same amount of light. LED lighting has an estimated energy efficiency of 80%-90% when compared to traditional lighting and conventional light bulbs. This means 80%-90% of the electricity used is converted to light (the other 10%-20% is lost as other forms of energy such as heat).

However traditional incandescent bulbs only operate at 20% energy efficiency, where 80% of the electricity is lost as heat instead of light. So with traditional lighting for every £100 spent on electricity £80 is lost as heat – but when compared to LED out of the same £100 only £10-£20 is lost as heat and when you take into account the breath taking long life factor of LED’s the efficiency levels scale up to 20 times more efficient.

The amount of money that companies of all sizes can save can easily reach up to 90%. When you multiply this over a 5-7 year period this is a staggering amount of money added to the bottom line.

2. LONG LIFE – No Maintenance

With incandescent and traditional lighting and bulbs I’m sure you’re familiar with changing those bulbs regularly, especially as they burn out. However with LED their life time can have an expectancy of up to 100,000 hours.

This means, if these LED bulbs were used continuously then they would last for 11 years, or for 22 years of 50% operation. So for instance if you leave an LED on for 8 hours every day – it would take 20 years before you would have to change the LED bulb, a sharp contrast to the traditional lighting you may be familiar with.

Unlike traditional bulbs LEDs do not burn out or create any over heating issues – they simply stop working when they have reached their life time cycle.

3. Minimise the Impact of Energy rate increases

As electricity prices keep rising and with experts predicting that more rises will be coming in the future due to the increasing demand and low resources – a shift to LED protects your business for the long term as it minimises any and all future rises in energy and electricity rates.

4. Less Environmental Impact

LED lights are free of toxic chemicals, unlike fluorescent and other traditional forms of lighting. LEDs have at least 4 times less impact on the environment during their life cycle when compared to other technology. LEDs are 100% recyclable, reducing their carbon footprint and all in all they are a big step towards a greener future.

5. LED can withstand Rough Conditions

LED lighting is durable and due to their sturdy components they are resistant to shock, vibrations and external impacts. These qualities do not just make them ideal for indoor use, it makes them perfect for outdoor lighting too as they can withstand rough conditions of weather, wind, rain and even vandalism.

6. ZERO UV Emissions

LED lights and illumination produces very little infrared light and no UV emissions. This means they are suitable for goods and materials that are sensitive to heat or UV light, making them the ideal choice for museums, art galleries, retail outlets, product manufacturers, etc.

7. Less heat, more light

As traditional lighting and lamps lose near enough 95% of their energy as heat, LEDs only waste 5%. This means traditional lighting can put more demands and higher use on air-conditioning and other ventilation systems. The energy savings from LED have both direct and indirect impacts.

8. LED Lighting – Powerful Flexible Design

Quality LED lighting can be combined in any shape to produce highly efficient lighting. Their flexibility means individual LEDs can be dimmed in a dynamic control of light, colour and light distribution. Systems can achieve lighting effects that are effective both for the eye as well as for the emotions, mood and mind.

It is so effective that LED mood illumination is now used in aeroplanes, classrooms and so many more situations where the mental and emotional wellbeing of individuals can be better supported.

9. LED works in Extremely Cold and Hot temperatures

Due to design and structure LED lighting works both in cold outdoor or freezer room temperatures without issue and hot restaurant and foundry conditions.

10. Focused and Directable LED light usage

LED lighting is and can be designed to focus and direct light to specific locations without the need if an external reflector. This delivers a higher level of application when compared to traditional lighting, and it’s effectiveness delivers more light efficiently to any desired location.

11. LED can be turned on/off many times without issue

With LED lighting they brighten up immediately without delay and can be switched on and off frequently without affecting the lifetime or light emission of the units. With traditional lighting it may take several seconds to reach full brightness and frequent switching on and off significantly reduces their life expectancy.
