Light emitting diodes, better known as LEDs are all the rage in interior design, mainly thanks to their low cost, but they can also help businesses to increase profits.
Over the full lifetime of an LED bulb, the amount of electricity that it will use will be around 75 per cent less energy than a traditional, incandescent light bulb, the least efficient light source.
This means you can leave them on longer without running up bills, or simply save money on your electricity costs by using LEDs as direct replacements.
Energy efficiency has another key benefit too: LEDs can be used in areas where ordinary bulbs may run too hot. Water resistant lighting can be recessed into floors in washroom areas, while ceiling lights generate less heat and are therefore safer.
Energy saving lighting is an inexpensive upgrade that could yield significant savings for many years to come. For modern office blocks, or luxury apartments, the LED light is fast becoming an essential consideration. Providing you invest in quality equipment, you can upgrade a whole building rapidly, and budget for replacements every 5 to 10 years.
Red Rock Facilities Management – Red Rock FM – have published some good advice on their website. If your facility has yet to upgrade to LED technology, it’s time to seriously consider switching your old bulbs. Even the most efficient non-LED bulbs can’t hold a candle to LEDs – if you’ll pardon the pun.
