Superior Energy Efficiency
When we say LED bulbs are more efficient, we mean it. LED lighting is up to 75% more efficient when compared to traditional bulbs. In other words, five traditional bulbs might be needed to achieve the same level of brightness as just one LED. Energy savings lead to cost savings–you could reduce your energy bill up to 70%!
Long Lifespan
In addition to being more efficient, you can count on LED bulbs to last. Typically, LED lighting lasts for up to 25,000+ hours. The 1,000 hour lifespan of traditional lighting simply can’t compare.
LEDs are also known for their durability, which contributes to their longer lifespan. Unlike traditional bulbs that are typically made with glass, LED bulbs are not made with glass, quartz, or filaments. Although they are still susceptible to direct impact, they are more resistant to breakage, vibrations, and other damage.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
With a longer lifespan, LED bulbs can minimize your maintenance costs by reducing the need to frequently purchase and replace traditional bulbs along with the associated labor costs. In a commercial setting, those costs can quickly add up.
Lower Heat Emission
LEDs waste very little energy as heat, which not only brings down your energy cost but also saves you money on climate-control and cooling. On the other hand, much of the energy used for traditional incandescent bulbs goes into heating the bulb to produce light. This can make the bulbs hot to the touch, making them less safe as well as less efficient.
The advanced and modern technology used in LEDs uses the majority of the energy provided to produce light instead–without needing to get hot to do so.
Environmental Benefits
Because of their longevity and energy efficiency, companies that use LED fixtures produce less waste because the bulbs don’t need to be replaced frequently. In addition, LED lights are not made with any toxic chemicals, like mercury, and they are also recyclable.
Enhanced Lighting Quality
LED bulbs are brighter, providing enhanced visibility and improving alertness and mood. They also offer superior color rendering, meaning they reveal the true colors of objects more accurately, which is especially ideal for displays, workspaces, and retail settings. Because LEDs offer flicker-free lighting, they can also improve focus and decrease headaches and migraines for your employees!
Smart Lighting Capabilities
While LEDs come in varying colors, some bulbs can be tuned to different hues or colors. Due to the advanced technology used by LED bulbs, they are dimmable and inherently compatible with such controls. They also offer smooth and seamless dimming, decreasing from 100 all the way to 10 percent light output. LED lights can also be paired with intelligent sensors, integrating with smart home systems, or even pairing wirelessly with other devices.
