Industrial LED bulbs can have many advantages for businesses, from increased productivity to cutting costs, reducing carbon footprint and even improving health and safety.
With many businesses looking to implement savings wherever they can, managers will often look to reduce their bigger costs, and lighting is one of the largest. Using industrial LED bulbs can cut energy bills by up to 90%.
For the uninitiated, an industrial LED bulb– which stands for light emitting diode – has a longer lifespan and greater electrical efficiency than traditional incandescent lamps and fluorescent lighting. LED bulbs last longer than incandescent or fluorescent ones – up to 50,000 hours – and are more electrically efficient and require less maintenance. Industrial LED bulbs provide crisper, warmer and brighter light than low-energy bulbs, and they don’t have the harshness common in florescent bulbs, nor do they flicker or strobe.
Industrial LED bulbs can also be more environmentally friendly than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, something that is becoming increasingly important. Unlike fluorescent lights, LED bulbs do not contain mercury so don’t require special recycling or disposal procedures. This is highlighted by a reduced WEEE charge for LED lights.
There are even health and safety benefits to using LED bulbs in industrial settings. LED light bulbs are made from a solid array of LEDs housed in a plastic casing, rather than using glass. So, for industries where glass can cause huge amounts of down-time if it infiltrates production, this is an ideal solution. In addition, LED bulbs produce ‘cold’ light – i.e. they don’t give off heat – so the risk of burns and fire hazards is reduced. As a result installing LED lighting in an industrial setting can reduce insurance costs.
