Lighting is an integral part to any building and are often on for extended periods of time; an LED retrofit is a great way to upgrade your facilities' lighting and simultaneously reduce operating costs.

Here are just a few benefits to making the change to LED lighting.

1. Energy Saving

Not only are their materials less toxic to you and the environment, they are far more energy efficient; using up to 80% less energy compared to incandescent and fluorescent lights.

2. Long Lifespan

A typical incandescent bulb lasts around 1000 hours and a fluorescent can last around 15000 hours. LEDs beat both of these by a large margin with a lifespan of around 50000 hours.

3. Operation and Maintenance Costs

While LED lights cost more upfront, the savings you reap from both the above benefits will easily offset that cost. You won't have to spend as much on energy bills in addition to not having to replace the lights as often. These savings can easily rack up over the years and you can start to see changes immediately after the retrofit.

4. Versatility

Many modern LED lighting fixtures offers adjustable CCT to allow you to change colour with a simple switch. LEDs are also far more flexible in terms of size; there are larger fixtures such as high bays and panel lights, but also smaller light bulbs and even flexible strip lights.

These are just some ways a LED retrofit can benefit you. While the upfront cost of it may be daunting, you can save so much more in the long-term. Especially if you take advantage of current government approved rebate programs.
