For any business, the initial benefit of conducting LED lighting is the long-term cost savings. Yes, bulb-for-bulb, LED lighting does have a higher initial cost compared to incandescent lighting. However, over the course of an LED light’s lifespan, the real-life costs are a mere fifth of incandescent lighting.

Beyond the obvious cost savings aspect, there are three reasons why a business should consider upgrading their lighting to LED.

1. Typically, LED lighting does not require equipment upgrades or replacement. Most incandescent bulbs have a direct equivalent LED replacement. Changing the bulbs in your offices, signs, security lighting and accent lighting is fairly effortless and should not incorporate additional costs beyond that of the bulbs.
2. Incandescent bulbs have an expected lifespan of 2,000 hours compared to 50,000 hours for an LED. For a business, this longer lifespan equates to cost savings in the form of less required maintenance and reduced on-site storage of replacement bulbs. Additionally, lighting for signs and security will be more dependable. LED bulbs are also harder to break than incandescent and fluorescent lighting
3. From an aesthetic standpoint, LED lighting provides a business with an array of options. Because the bulbs last longer and are more dependable, signs will not flicker and interior lighting will provide a more comfortable and secure feeling for employees and customers. LED lighting also comes in a variety of colors that can be designed to accommodate company colors, to create ambiance, or to fit a specific need. Available colors cover the spectrum and can easily be controlled via preprogramming or by a mobile app.

Depending on your business’ needs, LED lighting is available in an array of styles and applications.
