Even though a lot of people are aware of the benefits of LED lighting, some of them still 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:
- 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 that you’re going to be able to find. And if you can’t have daylight in each and every classroom or in your library or cafeteria, you can at least get LEDs. This will prevent your students’ eyes from hurting unnecessarily and will also improve concentration.
- Safety: Unlike incandescent or fluorescent lights, LED lights aren’t likely to burn out quickly. In fact, the life of an LED light bulb is about 50,000 hours which translates to 11 years if you burn it for about 12 hours a day. So you can be sure that your campus will be well-lit and safe for all your students if you replace all the outdoor lights with LEDs.
- Energy Efficiency: At first, you might balk at the price of replacing all your lights with LEDs. But keep in mind that LEDs are far more energy efficient than your regular lightbulb. So your energy bills will be less. Plus, you won’t have to keep replacing 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?
