The Benefits of Commercial LED Lighting

As companies seek ways of slashing and controlling energy consumption and costs, they are bound to consider the hardware used for lighting the working environment as well.  It is with quite good reasons too, because not only do lights consume lots of energy, they also generate heat, which necessitates the use of cooling systems like air conditioning.

These systems further consume energy and run the bills up further, to a certain degree only because of the lighting.

One very effective means of reducing this cost is by using Commercial LED Lighting (Light-Emitting Diodes) .   This semiconductor light source is one of the very latest in lighting technology and provides a great and efficient alternative to the traditional light sources.  The visual impact of the LED lighting is quite high, and it also last far longer than the traditional lighting sources.

When used in an office space, Commercial LED lights can present tremendous savings in terms of energy consumption.  They have already been used in several typically high energy consuming commercial conditions with tremendous effects, a few of such instances are:

• 75% power savings by LAX Gateway at Los Angeles International Airport, following the installation of a Commercial LED lighting system to replace the traditional metal halide system.
• Elimination of maintenance costs at the British Airways London Eye, after replacement of fluorescent light system with a new LED lighting system.

Apart from the cost saving advantage, LED lights are also very eco-friendly. Additionally, for a company, the following are clear benefits that accrue by virtue of an investment in an LED system:

1. The useful life of LED’s is estimated to be between 35,000 to 50,000 hours. This dwarfs that of fluorescent bulbs at 30,000 hours and incandescent bulbs at 1,000 to 2,000 hours.
2. Damage rate is far less because LEDs are made of solid state components thus largely immune to external shock unlike incandescent and fluorescent bulbs that break on impact.
3. Higher efficiency per watt generated. The lighting effects of the LEDs result in less energy consumption which translates to lower costs.
4. LEDs come in small and manageable sizes and do not have mercury content.
