Businesses pay a large amount of money on overheads and running costs. 90% of the total amount of their running costs is due to energy bills, mainly electricity for lighting.

Traditional incandescent light bulbs are extremely inefficient at converting electricity into light. This is because the conversion to light process generates so much heat energy which is wasted. In fact, of the total amount of energy available, only around 10% Is actually converted to light and the remaining 90% is completely wasted as heat. Think of taking your money and burning 90% of it!

So the logical thing to do is upgrade your lighting system to something that doesn’t waste as much energy. LED lighting systems are the solution. LED lights convert electricity to light by a completely different method, where minimal heat is being generated and less energy wasted. In fact, LED lights convert almost 100% energy into light. Another benefit is that incandescent lights last for around I,000 hours, LED lights last between 50,000 and 100,000. So not only are you saving a huge amount on your energy bills, you will not need to replace the lights for a significantly longer time compared to traditional lighting systems.

So to summarize, LED lights are significantly more economical, significantly longer lasting, and there is minimal heat being generated so they are safer to handle. LED lights are better for the environment, as they reduce your carbon footprint as you aren’t wasting large amounts of electricity. The lighting itself is very versatile; it can be used indoors or outdoors.

Using LED light may also make you eligible for state or federal rebates and incentives or rebates from energy suppliers. LED lighting systems are also easily installed. Contact your electrician Palatine for more information, or to book an upgrade.
