If you’re a small business owner, you want to take advantage of every possible way to improve productivity and increase your bottom line. Every little bit makes a difference. And sometimes, small changes can have a dramatic effect. You may not expect that something as small as switching to LED lighting would make that much of a difference to your business. But it does.
Saving Money with LED Lighting
To begin with, you can save quite a bit of energy in the long run by investing in LED lights from the get-go. The average lifespan of an LED light is 50,000 hours. Even if you use the LED light continuously, you won’t need to change it for at least six years.
Imagine how many regular light bulbs you would go through in that time. And you’ll get an idea of how much money you’re going to save. Sure, you might have to spend a little more in the moment, but if you’re the type of business owner who looks five or ten years into the future, then you’ll see that LED is the best choice.
Increasing Productivity with LED Lighting
Another advantage of LED lighting is that it’s softer and more similar to natural daylight. When you work with regular incandescent or fluorescent lights, everything seems just a little bit harsh. And most regular workplaces don’t have large windows letting in the sunlight, no matter how pleasant this might be for employees. Therefore, you must provide electrical lighting for all areas if your employees are to be productive.
Using LEDs instead of incandescent or fluorescent lights will just be (literally!) a lot easier on the eyes for your employees. As it is, they’re probably staring at computer and phone screens all day long, which hurts the eyes. At the very least, you can arrange your office lighting to promote well-being and, ultimately, productivity. An employee who feels comfortable and happy is likely to work longer and put in their 100%. And this is eventually to your benefit as a business owner.
