Why upgrade to LED lighting?

EMC Electrical Group have put together this useful guide to explain the benefits of a lighting upgrade, and why LED lighting is the best option for you.

Benefits of LED Lighting

LED lighting is a cost effective, highly efficient style of lighting that produces light by passing electrical current through a semiconductor. Unlike older lighting styles which rely on heating a filament, they operate without wasting energy as heat. This makes them far more energy efficient. In fact, they are up to 90% more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs. That represents quite a saving on your energy consumption – and the electricity bill at your Bristol premises!

Not only do they save you money on your energy bills, an upgrade to LED lighting will also save you money on maintenance costs. LED bulbs last a lot longer than a traditional lightbulb, providing up to 50,000 hours of reliable light. That’s around 5 and a half years of 24 hour a day lighting. This is particularly useful in commercial environments where light fixtures are hard to access or where accessing them disrupts normal activities. You’ll be buying less bulbs and spending less on having them replaced too.

They are also a greener option for lighting. We’ve already discussed the fact that they save energy and have an impressive lifespan, but they also contain no hazardous materials. Many older styles of lightbulbs contain mercury, making them harder to dispose of safely. LEDs are mercury free and can be recycled much more easily, with no risk of contamination to the environment.

Who can benefit from a LED lighting upgrade?

An LED lighting upgrade can make a huge difference to the energy efficiency and quality of lighting at many different premises in Bristol. LED lighting is far more customisable than previous lighting types being easily directable without the need for diffusers and reflectors. They are also available in a wide variety of lighting styles and colour choices, allowing you to create a bespoke lightscape for your premises.
