LED technology is ideally suited for those who wish to reduce their carbon footprint and lower the cost of common area electricity bills.
There are many places such as underground parking areas and foyers where normal fluorescent tubes are left on 24 hours a day. LED tubes can save up to 60% of these costs. If you have 200 tubes in your complex, that’s a potential saving of $62,000 over the working life of the LED tubes.
LED’s do not blow or simply stop working. They gradually decrease in brightness as they pass their working life span. This allows you to arrange new bulbs before you are out of light altogether. This feature is great for maintaining the safety of stairwells and car parks. Labour costs are also reduced as LED’s last longer and need to be changed less frequently.
In the foreseeable future the cost of electricity is expected to increase dramatically. You can prevent your building from this increasing expense by installing energy efficient technology like LED’s. An increasing number of buildings world-wide are making the switch. Find out how you can too!
Why LED lighting is a smart choice:
• Energy efficiency - LED’s use very little energy, often up to 75% less than the “energy saving” compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s).
• Reduce energy consumption - LED’s help to reduce the strain on your air conditioning systems as they produce very little heat.
• Help the environment – Support renewable energy efforts and prevent further global warming by using less electricity.
• Safe - LED’s are mercury free and emit no Ultraviolet radiation (UV) (Compact fluorescent lamps are highly toxic if broken and should be disposed of as a hazardous waste.)
• Greatly reduced labour installation costs - LED’s long life saves you time and the cost of having to change bulbs, particularly in the hard to reach places.
• Longer life spans, lasting beyond 50,000 hours
• Versatility in design and function
• Avoid future electricity price increases
• Massive savings on energy bills
LED lighting can be integrated into your building using retro-fitted LED lights or installing new LED fixtures. LED lights are available in every size and type of globe you may currently have in your building. If you do require LED fixtures various fixtures are available and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
