Although many people are aware of the benefits of LED lighting, some remain resistant to the idea of replacing all their lights with LEDs. If you’re running a large organization such as a university, replacing all your lights can seem like a daunting task, not to mention an expensive one. However, there are many benefits to having LED lights in a university, such as the following:
1. Concentration
Believe it or not, LED lights can actually help in improving students’ concentration. This is because LED light mimics natural light. It’s the closest thing to daylight you’re likely to find. And if you can’t have daylight in every classroom, library, or cafeteria, you can at least get LEDs. This will prevent your students’ eyes from hurting unnecessarily and will also improve concentration.
2. Safety
Unlike incandescent or fluorescent lights, LED lights aren’t likely to burn out quickly. The lifespan of an LED light bulb is approximately 50,000 hours, which translates to around 11 years if used for about 12 hours a day. You can be assured that your campus will be well-lit and safe for all your students if you replace all the outdoor lights with LEDs.
3. Energy Efficiency
At first, you might balk at the price of replacing all your lights with LEDs. However, keep in mind that LEDs are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional light bulbs. As a result, your energy bills will be lower. Additionally, you won’t have to replace bulbs regularly, as you would with incandescents or fluorescents. This also leads to savings for you. Running a university, although an admirable task, is not necessarily an inexpensive one. So why not save money where you can?
