Switching to LED lighting is an easy win. The money-saving benefits are a direct result of LED energy efficiency. Traditional lighting loses almost 95% of its energy by producing heat; with LEDs this figure drops to just 5%.
LED lighting offers an excellent return on investment. Businesses can expect to recoup the costs of buying and installing energy efficient LEDs within the first few years, when the lights will pay for themselves.
The financial and energy savings are significant as they can last up to 25 times longer than traditional lamps. This means lower bills and lower maintenance and replacement costs.
