Installing LED lighting can save your business money whatever your organisation – it also helps with the environment, making energy saving sense as well.
When Essex County Council converted some 19,000 all-night streetlights to LED, the authority invested £9.2 million into the ambitious re-lighting programme. Furthermore, to show the government’s commitment to energy and cost saving LED lighting, £4.3 million was funded by an interested-free government loan. And the payback was enormous. It is estimated Essex council will save £600,000 over 10 years, with a return on investment of 115%. Furthermore, estimated electricity consumption will be 63% less as a direct result of the LED conversion programme.
So you see, whatever your operation, LED lighting does save your business money.
The Essex project is a good illustration of how companies like us, LED Commercial Lighting, are changing the way public and private sector organisations are lighting up their operations. As Ofgem predicts that electricity bills will increase by more than 60% this year, LED lighting can cut industrial and business costs while significantly improving working conditions at industrial plants – for example, LED lighting is far brighter than most normal bulbs, lighting up the workplace so there are no grey areas. In industrial settings, LED lighting can be dimmed down to 0.1% of full brightness with an equivalent 1:1 power saving. So lighting up the workstation which will also then save your business money.
Additionally, growth in this type of lighting is now set to soar as architects, industrial builders, installers and fitters all cross over to LED lighting. There are also a plethora of other lighting controls, including automated scheduling and occupancy sensors, which can save up to a huge 60% of warehouse or plant’s lighting energy.
Another use often overlooked by commercial and industrial operations is the creative uses of LED lighting technology. Suddenly, darkened spaces come alive with different design elements inside and outside the building, adjusting the atmosphere at the click of a switch. Indeed, different lighting formats can significantly change the aspects of rooms, indoor and outdoor industrial space and workstations.
