LED Lighting
LEDs improve the quality of your lighting and the overall well-being of your employees, visitors, students, and customers…while saving you money!
An Abundance of Savings and more…
LED lighting is a widely recognized way to quickly and inexpensively reduce the amount of electricity a building uses. Lighting can take up over 20% of a building’s electricity usage. Fluorescent and incandescent lights produce significant excess heat which also adds to your air conditioning costs. Additionally old fluorescent and incandescent lights require costly maintenance that is avoided with LED Lighting. Finally, LEDs improve the quality of your lighting and the overall well-being of your employees, visitors, students, and customers.
Energy Savings:
LED lights use at least 50% less energy than the fluorescent lights they are designed to replace and at least 70% less than the incandescent lights they are designed to replace. Using LED lights can save hundreds to thousands of dollars each month in electricity costs. It is important to note that fluorescent lights require a ballast to operate. The ballast wastes energy in the form of heat which is a result of the inefficiency of this technology. When we install LED lighting 99% of the time we are bypassing the ballast or replacing the entire fixture with an integrated LED light.
Maintenance Savings:
Fluorescent lights and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights require continuous maintenance and repairs. Some of these replacement parts are getting more expensive and getting harder to find. This is especially the case with older T12 fluorescent lights which are being phased out. Many warehouses and manufacturers will delay spending time and money associated with replacing these hard-to-reach lights until there are enough lights out to justify the cost to rent lifts and source the replacement parts. These delays lead to safety issues and possibly accidents or errors when fulfilling orders. LED lights last 5-15 times longer than the lighting they are designed to replace. Most LED bulbs and tubes are warrantied for 5 years and many fixtures are warranted for up to 10 years. Depending on the size of the building this can result in a savings of thousands of dollars per year in addition to the thousands of dollars saved on energy costs.
Costs:
LED lights do cost more than the traditional lighting they are designed to replace. However, considering the cost benefits listed above, they pay for themselves many times over. As a matter of fact, even without rebates and incentives, LED lights will pay for themselves in a few years. When you take into account utility rebates , tax benefits the payback is even quicker. Alternatively, you can take advantage of our Zero Down program that eliminates all the upfront costs for you. Utilizing this program means you are saving money every month day one.
Imagine instead of sending all this money to your utility company and maintenance company, you kept all that money and redirected it to your bottom line. How much money are you losing this way each and every month with your old lights? Let us do a free evaluation of your existing lighting company and show you how much money new LED lights can generate for you over the next 10 years or more.
Comfort and Aesthetics:
LED lights turn on instantly and to full brightness regardless of the temperature and age of the lights. Both high-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescent lights take time to turn on and reach full brightness when temperatures fall below a certain threshold. This is particularly an issue with outdoor lighting and non-conditioned indoor spaces. Also, the issue of lumen maintenance is a big problem with both of these technologies since they lose brightness within the first few months of operation (note that these lamps list initial lumens and nominal lumens on their packaging). LED lights will dim over time but the average lifetime of an LED light is 50,000 hours or more. They do not flicker, change color, or buzz as they age as HID and fluorescent lights do.
