If youโve had an LED retrofit completed, youโre already on the right track to reducing energy consumption in your office. LED lights use as much as 90% less energy than conventional lighting, and last up to five times longer. Even with your energy-efficient LED lighting, though, there are many more ways to improve yourย energy reduction. Try out some of these tips:
Install motion detectors
Turning off lights when theyโre not in use is one way to do things, but itโs easy for someone to forget when theyโre in a rush. Motion detectors that turn your lights off after a specific period with no movement in a room ensure that, no matter what happens, you wonโt come into the office the next morning and find that the light in the copy room has been left on again. Plus, you can still turn the lights off manually.
Install task lighting
Thereโs no need to turn on all the office lights if itโs only one or two desks in use. Due to their small size, bright (and dimmable) lighting, and the fact that they donโt generate heat, LED lights can be installed almost anywhere to provide more efficient lighting up close.
Dim lights to necessary levels:
You donโt need to keep your LED lights on the highest setting. Often, a lower setting is more than enough, especially when spring and summer arrive, if your office receives natural lighting. Dim your LEDs when theyโre too bright, and theyโll both last longer and save you more on your energy costs.
