In commercial premises, lighting needs to be bright, effective, energy efficient and low maintenance. An LED lighting upgrade fulfils all of these requirements. EMC Electrical Group are LED upgrade specialists. Based in Bristol, we help businesses across the South West of England and South Wales achieve their aims through the provision of safe, reliable electrical services.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights produce light in a different way to traditional bulb types. Traditional incandescent bulb types produce light by passing electricity through a filament wire which becomes heated and begins to emit light as a byproduct. LED’s produce light by passing electricity through a small microchip (the light emitting diode) which then illuminates brightly. Minimal energy is lost to heat in this process which makes LED lighting a far more energy efficient model.
Commissioning EMC Electrical Group to carry out an LED Upgrade at your commercial premises will deliver a host of benefits.
These include:
Energy Efficiency: The main benefit of an LED upgrade is undoubtedly their superior energy efficiency. LED lighting uses only a fraction of the electricity used by traditional, incandescent bulb types. They are capable of producing a far higher output of lumens (brightness) for a significantly reduced amount of power. The average LED bulb uses 80-90 % less energy to produce the same level of lighting as it’s counterpart. When you consider that, dependent on business type, lighting can account for up 20-50% of a business's electricity bill that represents a significant saving.
Durability: Not only does an LED lighting upgrade present opportunities for savings on your energy bill, it can also make a dent in your maintenance budget too. LED bulbs are incredibly durable. They have a lifespan of between 25000 and 50000 hours compared to a 1000-hour lifespan for the average incandescent bulb. If your lights are on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even at the lower end of that scale you’ll have 3 years of continuous lighting from one bulb! This means you’ll be buying less bulbs and spending less time having those bulbs changed. This is particularly relevant to those in commercial premises with high bay lighting who have to call in specialist equipment to access the light fittings.
Environmentally Friendly: An LED upgrade has a range of environmental benefits, from the reduction in energy usage to the reduction in number of bulbs required over time. LED bulbs are less hazardous to the environment as they contain none of the harmful chemicals that traditional bulbs do. This makes them more easily recyclable and reduces the presence of potentially dangerous toxins in your workplace. An LED lighting upgrade will also help you to demonstrate your commitment to environmental responsibility to your customers.
User Friendly: An LED lighting upgrade at your commercial premises has benefits for your service users and employees too. LED lighting produces minimal heat, meaning less need for air conditioning or cooling systems. LED light bulbs have no discernible flicker, so they won’t cause the eyestrain common with working under older bulb styles. This makes them an ideal choice for office spaces and retail premises. Further to this, studies have shown that productivity is increased under LED lighting and that people report a boost in their mood. This is because LED lighting emits a similar light to daylight making it more pleasant to be around. Lastly, LED lighting emits little to no UV radiation making them safe for those who suffer with UV sensitivity.
