Building maintenance can be a huge cost when running a business and lighting is a large part of that. Here are some tips to ensure you’re not only getting the most light for your buck (!) but also providing the safest lighting for your customers and/or employees and cost effective solution for your business. So here’s 6 reasons to improve the lights in your business.
6 reasons to improve your business lights
1) Increased lifespan of your lights
What a pain it is when your fluoro tubes start to flicker, or when that high ceiling high bay has died again. LEDs last over 2,000% longer (based on halogen to LED downlights), meaning you can spend less time and resources maintaining the lights in your offices/warehouse/car park etc.
Even better… no more flickering tubes!
LED tubes have a more consistent level of lighting quality so you can say bye-bye to that irritating flicker.
2) LEDs are bright immediately
Led lights are bright almost instantly. No more waiting for the lights to warm up before they reach full brightness like with older lights that can take up to 10 minutes to reach full brightness.
3) Reduced fire risk
LED lights run at much cooler temperatures and therefore reduce the risk of fire, or burnt employee’s fingers. For example, upgrading your downlights can decrease the temperature of your lights by over 80%!
Reduced temperatures mean less fire risk, and increased safety of employees.
4) Glass-free tubes are available
We’ve talked about our glass-free LED tubes before. They’re ideal for businesses in the food industry as they suit health and safety standards. If you don’t run a business in the food industry they may still be right for you as they provide an alternative to glass tubes. Get in touch to find out if plastic tubes could be right for your business.
5) A fraction of the cost
LED lighting technology has dramatically reduced the amount of energy needed to run your lights. In some cases, you can reduce your energy use by up to 85%! Not only does this save on lighting costs, but it helps with carbon abatement and under the VEET scheme helps Victoria reduce its carbon footprint.
6) An upgrade could be completely free!
Under the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET scheme) eligible businesses are available for completely free, or heavily subsidised lighting upgrades.
So, if the reasons above are not enough incentive for you to upgrade your lights, upgrading for free just might be!
