Commercial LED Lighting…Can You Afford NOT To Switch?

Commercial LED LightingCan You Afford NOT To Switch

We've heard every excuse in the book when it comes to retrofitting a space withLED lighting. "It's too expensive" is the most common reason we hear. Admittedly, most of these lights are more expensive than other technologies. But when you consider theelectricity usage,HVAC savings, replacement oflighting fixtures and savings on maintenance costs,LEDs provide the best way to light your building, especially for a commercial space.

Let's suppose you own a warehouse where the lights are on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Imagine that you could replace your 140-watt lighting fixtures (think about how high your ceilings are and what a pain it is to have to use that huge ladder or cherry picker) with afixture that uses less than half? Well, there's no need to imagine it, it already exists. And it's LED.

Not only can you replace the units with a brighter fixture that uses less energy, but also with lights that produce no heat and are easier on the eyes. There is none of the annoying fluorescent flicker you get from CFL lamps and you can dim the LED fixtures if need be, something you'll be hard pressed to do with a typical fluorescent T8 fixture.

In addition to getting a brighter, better, dimmable light, you can replace the units much less often. How much less often? It depends on your application, but generally a T8 fixture starts to dim (to the point you start to notice it) at about 8,000 hours. They'll burn out completely by 15,000 hours. Many manufacturers claim double that lifetime, but you know that's not what happens in the real world! That means that you'll have the pleasure of replacing ALL of the lamps in your building in less than a year. The LED replacement fixture will last you over 50,000 hours, which is approximately six years.

When all of the savings are added up, the choice is clear. You're going to save money on electricity, reducing the HVAC load, replacement of lamps and ballasts, and the man-hours to replace all of those parts. So I ask you, how can you NOT afford to go LED?
