Benefits of LED Lighting
LED lighting offers numerous benefits for factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities. One of the most significant advantages is energy efficiency, with LED lights using up to 90% less energy than traditional lighting solutions. This can lead to substantial cost savings on energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Additionally, LED lights have a longer lifespan, typically lasting up to 50,000 hours or more, compared to traditional lighting solutions which can last around 3,000 to 10,000 hours. This means fewer replacements and reduced maintenance costs. LED lighting also provides improved light quality, with higher colour temperatures and better colour rendering, making it ideal for tasks that require high levels of concentration and attention to detail.
COMMERCIAL LED LIGHTING
Save money and cut down on your company’s carbon emissions by upgrading to the latest LED lighting technology.
RJ Electricians can design and install an entire lighting overhaul using energy-efficient alternatives to traditional lightbulbs.
Upgrade your existing lighting fixtures with energy-efficient ones that will save you money and provide better light than older models.
A better quality and quantity of lighting distribution will result in your premises looking cleaner, brighter and more inviting. Studies have shown that using LED lights has a positive effect on energy levels, mood, and productivity.
We will work carefully and efficiently so that your lighting looks brilliant and dynamic.
LED vs traditional lighting
LED lighting has many advantages over traditional fluorescent lighting:
- Most of the energy in an LED is converted into light, with only a small percentage (5%) lost as heat.
- They contain no dangerous substances, no toxic elements, no broken glass, no mercury, and no harmful gases.
- They emit 68 percent less CO2 than a traditional incandescent lightbulb over a typical 10 hour day.
- Compared to regular lightbulbs, top-of-the-line LED bulbs can last up to 50,000 hours, which is far longer than regular bulbs.
- Compared to a traditional lighting system, an LED lighting system costs around 10 times less to operate annually.
- LED lights offer glare-free lighting and provide the closest alternative to natural daylight. They can help improve focus by reducing eyestrain.
- Instant on no warm-up time
- Directional light for control
- Less heat, less cooling costs
Energy savings
Our energy-efficient LED upgrades save 50-75% energy compared to traditional lighting. In a large factory, that’s thousands of pounds a year off your bills.
HOW MUCH COULD MY COMPANY SAVE IF WE UPGRADE TO LED LIGHTING?
The switch to LED lighting can result in substantial energy and cost savings. Our comparison table shows how even a single light replacement can save over £12 per year, while a large factory replacing 500 lights could save £4,200 annually on energy costs alone.
| Lighting Type | Wattage | Daily Usage (hours) | Annual Energy Consumption (kWh) | Annual Energy Cost (£) | Annual Savings (£) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Light Comparison (Based on 365 days operation) | |||||
| Fluorescent T8 4-foot | 32 | 12 | 140.16 | 28.03 | - |
| LED T8 4-foot Equivalent | 18 | 12 | 78.84 | 15.77 | 12.26 |

Assumptions:
- Energy cost: £0.20 per kWh (average UK business rate)
- Calculations don't include potential additional savings from reduced cooling costs or maintenance
- Large factory example assumes lights are off during weekends and holidays
Additional Benefits:
- LED lights typically last 2-4 times longer than fluorescent tubes, further reducing replacement costs
- LED lighting can improve light quality and distribution, potentially increasing productivity
- LEDs contain no mercury, making disposal easier and more environmentally friendly
As demonstrated, the savings potential for LED upgrades is significant, especially for large industrial spaces. These figures don’t even account for additional benefits such as reduced maintenance costs, improved light quality, and potential increases in productivity.

LED Warehouse Lighting Solutions
LED warehouse lighting solutions are designed to provide high-quality lighting for warehouses and industrial facilities. These solutions typically include high-bay LED lights, which are designed to provide high levels of light output and are often used in warehouses with high ceilings. LED warehouse lighting solutions can also include LED strip lights, which are ideal for lighting narrow aisles and corridors.
Additionally, LED warehouse lighting solutions can be designed to include lighting controls, such as occupancy sensors and timers, which can help to further reduce energy consumption.

No downtime
We know how important it is to keep production running during upgrades. Our team work flexible hours, often outside of business hours or weekends, to minimise disruption.
Better Lighting Performance
LED factory lighting isn’t just about energy savings – it’s about a brighter, more productive workspace. Factory LED lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing workplace productivity and safety.
Visibility and colour rendering
Our LED solutions have higher colour rendering index (CRI) ratings, 80+ CRI, so colours are more vivid and lifelike. This is critical for quality control and reducing eye strain. LED fixtures also produce more light output than traditional lighting, so more efficient and effective illumination.
Even light in big spaces
LED lighting provides even illumination across vast factory floors, eliminating dark spots and shadowy areas. This uniform distribution enhances safety and improves overall working conditions.
Affordable upgrades
Investing in LED warehouse lighting is a wise financial decision that will pay off over time. An LED lighting upgrade will reduce operational costs and improve working conditions and will save you money and be more efficient.
Initial cost vs long-term savings
The initial cost of LEDs may be more than traditional lighting. However, compared to old fluorescent lighting, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment:
- Reduced energy bills from day one
- Lower maintenance and replacement costs
- Increased productivity and reduced errors
- Increased property value
Grants and incentives
RJ Electrical Contractors can help you with the UK government grants and incentives for energy-saving upgrades, which can offset a large part of the cost.
Safety is critical in industrial environments, and our LED lighting solutions are designed with this in mind.
LED lighting upgrades can provide significant financial incentives and return on investment (ROI). By reducing energy consumption, LED lighting upgrades can lead to substantial cost savings on energy bills.
Additionally, LED lighting upgrades can also provide tax incentives, such as the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme (For more information click here), which allows businesses to claim 100% tax relief on the cost of LED lighting upgrades. The ROI on LED lighting upgrades can be significant, with some businesses achieving payback periods of just a few months.
UK workplace lighting regulations
All our installations meet the latest UK workplace lighting regulations:
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Click here for more information)

Remote monitoring and management
Our control systems allow remote monitoring and adjustment of your lighting so you can see real-time data on energy usage and system performance.
Workplace Efficiency
LED lighting isn’t just about light. It’s about creating an environment that boosts productivity and wellbeing. Factory LED lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity and employee well-being by significantly reducing energy consumption and providing advanced lighting solutions.
Employee well-being and productivity
Good lighting can reduce eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, improve concentration and reduce errors. Many of our clients report increased employee satisfaction and reduced absenteeism after LED upgrades.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL LIGHTING SPECIALIST
Choosing the right LED lighting solution for your factory or warehouse can be a complex task. It’s essential to consider factors such as the type of lighting required, the level of light output needed, and the desired colour temperature. Additionally, it’s crucial to consider the energy efficiency of the lighting solution and the potential for energy savings.
It’s also essential to consider the lifespan of the lighting solution and the maintenance costs associated with it. By considering these factors, businesses can choose the right LED lighting solution for their needs and achieve significant energy savings and cost reductions.
