Light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures are becoming the lighting solution of choice for many businesses. These safe, eco-friendly emitters are replacing conventional lamps and evolving to fulfill emerging needs. To cut energy costs and promote greener operations, forward-thinking companies are converting and retrofitting showrooms, storefronts, offices, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and parking garages with LED bulbs, tubes, downlights, spotlights, strip lights, and more.
Commercial LED Lighting Solutions
LEDs provide versatile and energy-efficient lighting solutions for many indoor and outdoor commercial applications. Properly selected and installed LED lighting is an ideal fit for industrial, warehouse, and retail environments. Architects and designers can tailor LED solutions to provide functional, attractive, and ergonomic ambient, task, and accent lighting in a variety of settings.
LED Lighting Benefits
When used in commercial settings, LED lighting offers many advantages.
Emits Better-Quality Light
LED emitters can produce better-quality light than many conventional lamps. Broad-spectrum LEDs render colors with high accuracy to increase visual appeal and acuity in processing plants, restaurants, department stores, and hotels. Directional emitters can be arranged to produce bright, uniform, glare-free light that can reduce fatigue and make working conditions safer in warehouses, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities.
Provides Light Immediately
LED light fixtures power on immediately. While fluorescent and metal halide lighting can take several minutes to fully warm up, LED lighting can provide maximum light output as soon as it is switched on.
Offers a Variety of Fixture Types
LED fixtures can provide focused, bright, dimmable lighting for most commercial applications. Many commonly installed legacy sockets and fixtures can easily be retrofitted with LED lamps. There are plenty of recessed, canned, high-bay, low-bay, and drop-ceiling LED fixture options on the market, and popular lamp types such as MR16s, MR11s, T4s, and T8s are easy to source.
Offers Motion-Controlled Operation
Motion sensor-controlled LED lighting that operates only when a room is occupied can lower electricity costs. The lights turn on when the sensors detect movement and turn off if no movement is detected after a certain period of time.
Features Dimmable Emitters
When LED fixtures are pulse width modulated, they run more efficiently and use less energy. Pulse width modulation also reduces wear on the emitter, which can increase the lifespan of your fixtures and save costs at scale over time.
Produces Less Heat
LED fixtures use 95% of the energy they consume to produce light while converting only 5% of the energy to heat. Conventional lighting, including incandescent bulbs, wastes energy by producing more heat than light.
Provides Longevity
Many commercial LED lighting fixtures can last 25,000 to 60,000 hours, while the lifespan of traditional fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent lighting can be ten to twenty times shorter. This longevity translates into lower maintenance and replacement costs and fewer disruptions to daily activities.
Promotes Sustainable Operations
LED fixtures are robust, environmentally sound lighting solutions that are engineered to be a safer and less toxic alternative to conventional lighting. Most LED fixtures are low-maintenance, self-contained units that don’t need special handling, while fluorescent and mercury-vapor lamps contain hazardous materials that cannot be disposed of in a landfill or sent to a recycling station.
Saves Resources
LED lighting is a sustainable choice that helps businesses increase efficiency, save on energy spending, and reduce their carbon footprint. Replacing fluorescent tube lighting with LED fixtures can cut energy use by over 60% while lowering CO2 emissions. Best of all, LED lighting can pay for itself in just a few years.
