Utility rates keep getting higher and higher. What’s worse yet is that generating all this electricity needed to run a business creates a very real environmental impact. It’s a problem that goes hand in hand – inefficient energy use is detrimental for both the planet and your bottom line. So if you’re weighing your options for the next investment you want for your business, consider investing seriously in energy-reducing lighting.
Whether you operate a distribution or manufacturing center, an office complex, or even a corner shop, switching to LED lights can massively reduce your energy use- and in more ways than one! Check out these incredible benefits switching to LED lights can do for you:
More Efficient Use of Electricity
LED lights use as much as 50% to 90% less energy than a conventional light bulb. You also don’t have to worry about warm-up time either – LED lights turn on instantly, to precisely the brightness setting you’ve selected.
Reduced Heat Generation
One of the reasons LED lights use so much less energy than conventional bulbs is that they produce light completely differently. Conventional bulbs generate heat, creating light as a byproduct. On the other hand, LED lights use electricity directly to generate light, which results in a massive reduction in heat generated. This is especially true with summer around the corner. Not only will you save money on your lighting, but your climate control system won’t have to work as hard in the already brutal Arizona summer.
Improved Worker Productivity
It’s a little-known fact, but the occasional flicker that fluorescent lighting gives off has a very draining effect on people. It’s one of the major causes of after-lunch fatigue in workers, and can be a real productivity killer. A softer blue-white LED light not only avoids this problem but is also proven to help lift spirits. Not only do LED lights reduce how much electric energy you use, but they can also help you and your staff save physical energy as well!
With summer and peak energy rates just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to switch to LED!
