For business owners, updating your commercial lighting is a smart investment, even if you need an electrician to renovate your wiring and fixtures. Older fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs cost you money compared to LED bulbs, and LEDs have several other advantages as well. Here's what you need to know about commercial LED installation and how it can help your business.

Why Choose LEDs?

1. Better Brightness & Color

If you've spent much time under harsh, flickering fluorescent lighting, you know it can completely change the mood in a room or building. LED lights come in a wide range of colors, including some color-changing bulbs, and most also have adjustable brightness. This will help your business look more attractive, reduce eye strain, and improve employee morale.

2. Lower Electricity Costs

Compared to incandescent bulbs, the right LEDs can use up to 80% less electricity. Across a whole building and a year of use, this can mean thousands of dollars in energy savings. Not only does this offset the cost of the bulbs themselves, but it can also help you make your company more environmentally friendly, which is good for your image.

3. Easier Maintenance

While they're saving you money on commercial lighting, LED bulbs also last longer, up to 50,000 hours in some cases. This means you won't need to replace them as often, saving you money on new bulbs and on maintenance staff. You're less likely to have to deal with a burnt-out bulb during work hours, and your staff will be able to focus on more important needs.
