LEDs hit the lighting world by storm, and there are several good reasons for that. Not only are they energy-efficient and produce less heat, but they’re also customizable. Everything from dimness to color and direction can be programmed into LEDs. However, while that makes LEDs a smart bet for new hospital constructions, it was a different story for retrofits. Here are three reasons why your administration should make switching to LEDs a priority:
1. The current infrastructure will support future bulbs.
Early adoption of technology is often a risky endeavor. Switching to the last data storage medium or buying the latest devices can be expensive or an investment in a fleeting trend. But LEDs are here to stay, and their current support systems are built to last. Whether you want to start retrofitting your hospital in sections or overhaul the entire property, switching to LEDs is a safe bet.
2. Dimmable, programmable bulbs help people perform their jobs more efficiently.
LEDs in hospitals offer not only the general benefits found in other commercial settings, but also specific advantages. They also have specific benefits for your employees and your patients. You can automatically program LEDs to simulate daylight with bright white light, making employees on the night shift more alert. You can also add dimmable bulbs to waiting rooms and patient rooms. Even color-changing bulbs are being studied for their positive impacts on people’s healing rates.
3. Save on variable expenses.
Hospitals are expensive to operate. You must keep the lights on 24/7, and even a single hospital room has numerous specific lighting requirements. However, LED bulbs can reduce electrical costs. Because they have long lifespans, you also save on replacement bulbs, or diodes, over the years.
