A commercial lighting upgrade can work wonders for your business by improving electrical efficiency, saving money and helping the environment.
As many businesses choose to become energy efficient and more environmentally friendly, there has never been a better time to take a look at your workplace and check out some of your options for a commercial lighting upgrade considering some governments are also offering rebates on certain jobs.
After starting with an inspection of your current lighting system, power supply and cabling, a professional electrical inspection can identify any issues that may need to be addressed while giving you the peace of mind to move forward with a commercial lighting upgrade.
Lighting upgrades save you money
Depending on the size of your workplace, whether it’s an office space or retail store or even larger, a commercial lighting upgrade will save you thousands of dollars into the future by installing energy efficient and environmentally friendly LED fittings and globes. Traditional lighting methods draw large amounts of power while LED lighting can save you 80 per cent on commercial lighting costs while lasting around 50,000-100,000 hours. All of this adds up over time and while the initial outlay for LED lighting can seem more expensive it saves much more on electricity costs in the long run because the globes don’t require as much power to light up and last longer.
Going green for the environment
While energy efficiency and saving money are big drivers for a commercial lighting upgrade, there are environmental benefits also. LED lighting helps to reduce your business’s carbon footprint because of the energy saved in producing the lighting. Dangerous chemical elements used in older lighting systems such as mercury are hazardous wastes that need to be disposed of properly. LED lighting contains trace elements and are not considered dangerous to people.
LED lighting options
New technologies have driven the electrical sector to create multiple lighting options for businesses and fittings can be anything from basic to a complex system designed to light a large area. A commercial lighting upgrade can give you the flexibility of a range of sizes and shapes as well as different colours and styles of lighting. You may want a simple lighting approach for a regular office while a customer facing foyer or shopfront could have signage or lighting designed to stand out and draw attention to the business.
