LED Lighting Lowers Operating Costs with an Eco-Friendly Solution
The cost of energy, energy security, and global warming have become primary topics driving the national agenda. While businesses and house holds attempt to curb their energy costs and limit their contributions to GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, they have to accomplish these goals while remaining profitable enterprises. Business owners are now challenged to implement sustainable initiatives that also lower their operating costs.
Of almost equal cost and perhaps greater "pain" than the energy bill, is the constant maintenance all traditional lighting requires. Depending on usage, LED lighting systems last over 5 times as long as fluorescent. Unlike residential installations where changing a light bulb is relatively easy, the cost of changing a bulb in many commercial building is substantial. Maintenance costs can soar into the $1000's for lamps in hard to reach places that require lifts and multi-person teams. Savings and productivity improvements from reduced maintenance have a positive impact on operating costs and profits. You probably already know that conserving the environment is a worthy cause - but is it a realistic one? Absolutely. We wholeheartedly believe your business can make a difference, and we're here to help you do it.
LED lighting is driving a wave of innovation that is bringing major improvements in efficiency, performance, and longevity to the 100 year old world of electric lighting. Large potential savings in energy consumption and significant reduction in green house gas emission can be achieved by deploying LED lighting systems. The LED technological revolution in lighting is just beginning. Undoubtedly, companies will switch to LED lighting systems the near future. LED Lighting is a fit-and-forget-lighting solution that is essentially there for as long as you are.
The great advantages of LED indoor lighting can be broken down into 5 major categories:
- Energy Efficiency
- Functionality/Applications
- Environmental Impact
- Lifetime use
- Affordability
EFFICIENCY OF LED LIGHTING: Light Efficiency of our new high powered LED light replacement globes can not be beaten. They are 5 times more efficient than heat producing, power sucking halogen globes & last 5 to 10 times longer then compact florescent globes.
ECO FRIENDLY LIGHTING: No hazardous substances are used in our LED lights (like mercury or lead products) This will make disposing of old LED globes friendly to the environment. NO dangerous chemicals end up in our landfills & atmosphere. BUY LED GLOBES to slow the manufacturing of fluorescent globes & promote a greener environment.
LIGHTING RUNS EXTREMELY COOL: LED globes run at a much lower temperature around (40-60"C) and generates very little unwanted heat. Halogens globes run hot enough to cause a fire and often do. You will not feel any unwanted heat when standing under a LED globe. Your energy saving may be doubled in air-conditioned environment, where each watt of halogen light can add another watt or more to the power needed for the air-conditioning.
REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS: Just by switching to LED lights, you will decrease carbon dioxide emissions from electric lighting use by up to 90%. LEDs are more efficient than compact fluorescent bulbs, currently the standard for greener lighting.
LED LIFETIME: Operational life of current white LED lamps is 50,000 hours +. This is 6 years of continuous operation, or 12 years of 50% operation or well over 20 years if lights are on for 6 hour per night. The long operational life of a LED lamp is a stark contrast to the average life of a florescent bulb, which is approximately 8000 hours. If the lighting device needs to be embedded into a very inaccessible place, using LEDs would virtually eliminate the need for routine bulb replacement. If you need an electrician to change your blown globes this will be eliminated as well.
COST: There is no comparison between the costs of LED lights vs. traditional florescent options. With florescent bulbs, the true cost of the bulb is the cost of replacement bulbs, labor expense and time needed to replace them. These are significant factors, especially where there are a large number of installed bulbs. For office and high rise buildings, maintenance costs, electrician call out fees and ongoing replacement costs can be enormous. These issues can all be virtually eliminated using LED lighting options.
INSTANT LIGHT: Florescent lights are dim when first turned on, and get brighter as they warm up, depending on the temperature and the age of the lamp. They can take a long time to warm up. If it is cold enough they will not warm up at all. LED lights always start at full brightness.
DURABILITY: LED light bulbs are less sensitive to shock, vibration, and the extreme temperature changes that can quickly ruin a fragile halogen bulb. Fluorescent bulbs wear out much faster if they are frequently turned on and off. LED bulbs are not affected by frequent on-off switching.
COLOUR AND LED'S: Colored LED lights, there is simply no comparison. All of the light output from LED bulbs can be a specific colour. With other light sources, much of the light produced consists of unwanted colours that are filtered out. This wastes energy. LED lights produce pure colour (monochromatic light) that requires no filtering.
LED SOLUTIONS: LED lighting is being billed as THE BEST long-term solution for your home, office, warehouse and outdoor lighting needs. Its environmental benefits and energy efficiency translates to financial savings for you and a cleaner environment for everyone.
