Energy-Efficient Commercial LED Lighting

If you’re a business owner who wants to decrease overhead, consider energy-efficient LED lighting. Making the switch can lighten your utility bill. For example, Target has saved millions of dollars (already) by installing energy-efficient lighting in their stores.

Many business owners don’t think about their lighting unless it stops working. But for several reasons you should consider an energy-efficient lighting upgrade right now.

Reason 1: Big energy savings

Most people see lighting as an unchangeable part of the electrical bill.

But you may use up to 71% more power than you have to. Up to 50% of the power you use goes to your lights, and there’s a good chance you’re still equipped with T12 fluorescent lamps, which burn more power than any modern option. If that’s the case, you may need to upgrade your lighting soon anyway, because the United States hasn’t manufactured or imported those lights since 2012.

Reason 2: Less maintenance cost

You can save significant maintenance costs by converting to energy-efficient LED lights. They last much longer than fluorescents, and they provide much more light, which means you’ll probably need fewer of them.

You also won’t have to keep as many spare bulbs on-site, which saves space as well as money.

Reason 3: Rebates

Finally, making the switch to energy-efficient LEDs can make you eligible for commercial energy efficiency rebates offered here in California.

Reason 4: LEDs make your products and space look better

LEDs are an especially good investment for retail stores. The light itself is of higher quality, which means it makes your goods and retail space look more appealing to the customer.  When your products look more attractive, you make more sales.

An easy decision for you, but only an experienced commercial electrician can make the transition easy

Energy-efficient lighting upgrades can be complex projects. To deliver maximum savings, the new lighting system must be custom designed to match the specifications of the building you’re working with. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Proper lighting system design can mean that you need to install fewer LEDs to get the job done, which can mean saving more money on the initial installation.
