7 Great Benefits of LED Lighting in Your Workplace
LED lighting comes with a multitude of helpful benefits, especially in a professional environment, when quality, budget, and flexibility are key features. Here are 7 useful benefits of installing LED light panels into your place of work:
1. Longer Life
Long life expectancy has to be the number one benefit of LED lighting. LED bulbs and diodes have an outstanding operational life expectancy. LED’s are different to standard lights as they don’t burn out and stop working instantly – instead, the lighting diodes emit lower levels over a long period, becoming gradually less bright, and giving you the chance to order replacements in time.
2. Great Energy Efficiency
LEDs are currently the most efficient way of illuminating your workplace. LEDs have an estimated energy efficiency of 80%-90% when compared to traditional lighting and conventional light bulbs. This means that about 80% of the energy is converted to light, whereas traditional incandescent light bulbs operate at 20% energy efficiency with a huge 80% of energy being lost as heat. This long operational life is even more important for large-scale operations such as in large factories, head-office and retail stores.
3. Durable in tough condition
LED light panels are extremely durable and built with strong components that can withstand even the toughest conditions. LED lights are resistant to shock and external impacts, making them great outdoor lighting systems for construction or manufacturing sites.
4. Operational in cold or hot environments
LED are ideal for operation under cold outdoor temperature settings, even in freezer rooms and cold storage areas, whereas fluorescent lamps may be significantly affected by the cold. LED lighting also operates well in hot settings, such as restaurant kitchens.
5. Very low UV Emissions
LED illumination produces close to no UV emissions, making it highly suitable for goods and materials that are sensitive to heat and for illumination of UV sensitive objects or materials, which would be helpful in museums, art galleries, and retail stores.
6. Ecologically Friendly
LED lights are free of toxic chemicals, whereas most conventional fluorescent lighting bulbs contain harmful materials like mercury, which are dangerous for the environment.
LED lights contain no toxic materials and are 100% recyclable, and will help you to reduce your carbon footprint by up to a third. A big step towards a greener future for your business!
7. Instant Lighting
LED lights brighten up immediately when switched on, which has great advantages for businesses where instant lighting is key. LEDs can also be switched off and on frequently and without affecting the LED’s lifetime or light emission – however, traditional lighting can take several seconds to reach full brightness, and frequent on/off switching does drastically reduce operational life span.
