The Benefits of Using LED Lighting
Traditional lighting has evolved and now includes LED lighting as a superior alternative to traditional fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting is an outdated type of lighting that still requires ballast and contains hazardous chemicals such as mercury, whereas LED lighting utilizes semiconductor technology where the movement of electrons meets electron holes and produces light in the form of photons.
In addition, this process of producing light is done at specific wavelengths dependent upon the materials being used; thus allowing for precise color temperature control, from 2700K (warm white) through 6500K (daylight).
Smart Business Solutions Using LED Lighting
LED lighting allows businesses to simply and efficiently create improved work environments while also saving them money and positively affecting the environment. Our skilled team will assist you in finding the optimal lighting for your company.
Optimal Lighting for Every Location
Our team chooses ideal color temperatures for every area.
Retailers prefer warm 3000-3500K lighting in order to display their products effectively and create a pleasant atmosphere.
Industrial spaces and factories do best with bright 4000-5000K lighting in order to provide employees visibility, allow them to easily identify details, and increase safety.
Cost-Effective & Environment Friendly
When retailers switch to LED lighting they experience a decrease in energy consumption.
As a result, LED lighting is far brighter and higher quality, while using significantly less power than older lighting systems. The net effect of these improvements provides substantial cost-cutting benefits for businesses and complies with regulatory requirements such as the RoHS Directive by removing environmentally-harmful substances such as mercury.
Step Towards Sustainability
With increasing concerns regarding global warming, companies are actively seeking out practical ways to become more efficient.
One of the simplest and most impactful steps companies can take is replacing older lighting with newer LED lighting.
By utilising significantly less power than older lighting systems, companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while providing a well-lit environment throughout their facilities.
Definition and Benefits
There are several advantages associated with LED lighting:
- Lower Energy Consumption: LED lighting uses much less power than older forms of lighting, including fluorescent tubes, resulting in a significantly lower amount of lighting-related energy usage. Lower energy consumption results in reduced energy bills, and a smaller negative impact on the environment.
- Cost Savings: One of the greatest advantages of LED lighting is its ability to last longer than older forms of lighting, requiring fewer replacements and less maintenance, ultimately leading to greater cost savings for companies.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: In contrast to certain older forms of lighting, LED lighting does not contain toxic substances such as mercury or lead. As a result, LED lighting is safer for the environment and individuals.
- Improved Lighting Quality: LED lighting features improved colors, reduced glare, and is less taxing on the eyes. Improved lighting quality enhances the welcoming nature of a space and improves employee productivity.
- Intelligent Lighting Systems Further Enhance Energy Efficiency & Control: Intelligent lighting systems provide companies with customized solutions designed to maximize energy efficiency and provide increased control over lighting levels within their facilities.
Companies can achieve a more efficient and environmentally responsible workplace by installing LED lighting.

Example Savings
The Challenge:
A large factory (45,000 sq ft) running day and night had old metal halide lights. This caused:
High energy bills
Frequent fixing that stopped work
Poor lighting that hurt product quality
Our Solution:
We put in 187 new LED high-bay lights with special lenses and wireless controls. We did all the work over three weekends so the factory could keep running.
The Results:
Energy use dropped by 72% (proven by a year of bills)
£37,500 saved on energy each year
£8,900 less spent on fixing lights each year
The changes paid for themselves in just 14 months (helped by £12,500 in grants)
Workplace accidents went down by 23% compared to the year before
Product quality got better with 18% fewer mistakes found

LED Technology Benefits Business in terms of Energy Savings
There are many excellent reasons that businesses are rapidly converting to LED:
ROI
Our company’s LED lighting upgrades have produced a 65-78% reduction in energy usage; the average ROI time for our clients has been 2.3 years. We can use an example of a warehouse we installed LED lighting in; the building used to use 125,000kWh per year and after the upgrade it was using 32,500kWh, which would save approximately £9,300 each year and produce a payback of approximately 22 months.
Maintenance Needs
There is significantly less maintenance involved with commercial grade LEDs as they will last at least 50,000 hours versus only 10,000-20,000 hours on older fluorescent lights.
Comfort/ Productivity
A better work environment, including being able to control the light output, minimize flicker, and maintain consistent color representation – all of these factors are directly related to employee comfort and some research indicates a direct relationship between employee comfort and productivity.
Carbon Footprint
Commercial grade LED lighting can help you meet green initiatives and reduce your company’s carbon footprint, allowing you to achieve environmental goals and enhance your corporate image.
Grants & Incentives
Your company may be eligible to receive grants or incentives from government and/or utility companies to encourage energy savings.
It is easy to see why commercial grade LED lighting is a win-win for your bottom line and for the environment.

Key Design Elements to Optimise Your Commercial LED Lighting System
To develop an effective commercial LED lighting system that provides the greatest efficiency and lowest possible cost, you must consider many aspects during the planning stage.
Optimal lighting design can be greatly enhanced by intelligent lighting systems, which provide greater control over energy usage by using sophisticated technologies.
Lighting Levels & Uniformity
Achieving appropriate lighting levels and uniformity is critical to developing a commercial LED lighting system. Lighting levels required will vary based upon the specific use or task being performed within each area of the facility.
For instance, a warehouse will require higher lighting levels for safety and visibility than an office; however, the office may require balanced lighting to enhance productivity and minimize eye fatigue.
In addition to achieving adequate lighting levels, it is equally as important to achieve uniform lighting to prevent shadows and glare that could distract from tasks at hand and create discomfort. Achieving uniform lighting can be accomplished through an intelligent combination of LED light fixtures strategically positioned throughout the facility. Achieving uniform lighting can also result in significant reductions in lighting energy usage, resulting in lower energy costs and reduced carbon emissions.
By incorporating these design elements into your commercial LED lighting system, you will be able to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space, help you save money on energy costs and ultimately decrease your energy usage.
