LED lighting technology provides benefits in addition to reduced power consumption as compared to an incandescent, fluorescent or halogen bulb, making your facility a part of the “Green Revolution.” It also assists firms in achieving their energy and sustainability corporate “green” goals. These benefits list as follows:

  • HVAC SAVINGS: LEDs do not use heat to create light and therefore emit very little heat. This lack of heat generation, which can range from several hundred to even a thousand degrees, can lead to significant air conditioning, refrigeration, and freezer savings enhancing your bottom line.
  • PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION/INDUSTRY ACCEPTABLE: LEDs, due to their energy savings and aesthetic benefits can help facilities achieve Energy Star and LEED certifications, which will in turn, improve the marketability of space for the end user. Many corporate firms are requiring that their facilities or offices meet certain minimum “green” goals, which LED lighting can certainly help in achieving.
  • LEGISLATIVE & ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS: The ever-increasing goals of state and federal legislative bodies to reduce their carbon footprint, eliminate the use of mercury and improve recyclability of lighting products, make LED lighting products a superior replacement to most common lighting sources.
  • CHALLENGING CLIMATES: LEDs function extremely well in cold environments and are resistant to vibration as they are “solid-state devices.”
  • IMPROVED COLORING: LEDs can be manufactured to generate varying colors and color temperatures. This can provide the opportunity to customize the lighting environment to the users specifications, while creating a more desirable and natural lighting environment with excellent color contrast. This flexibility will turn leading to a significantly improved environment, as well as improving the workplace or shopping environment. Improved LED lighting will also help with improving employee workplace productivity.
  • RE-STRIKE FAILURE: On-off cycles, or re-strikes, can significantly decrease the lifetime of traditional lighting sources. LEDs, however, are not subject to this problem, as a LED does not need to be continuously heated. In other words, turning LED lights on and off does not impact its longevity as it does with traditional lighting sources.
