Utility rates just keep getting higher and higher. What’s worse yet is that in generating all this electricity needed to run a business, it 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, put serious thought into investing 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 cool benefits switching to LED lights can do for you:
More Efficient Use of Electricity
Compared to your average conventional light bulb, LED lights use as much as 50% to 90% less energy. 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 it produces light in a completely different way. Conventional bulbs generate heat, creating light as a byproduct. LED lights, on the other hand, use electricity directly to generate light, which results in a massive reduction in heat generated. This is especially with summer around the corner. Not only will you be saving money on your lighting, 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 as well. Not only do LED lights reduce how much electric energy you use, it can 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 make the switch to LED!
