Retrofitting to LED Lights

For most companies and business owners, the question isn't if they should retrofit to LED lighting but rather when does it make financial sense for them to switch over to the new energy-efficient, money-saving lighting technology?

While the cost per bulb of LED's is more than other bulbs, the long-term costs of bulbs, replacements and overall maintenance factors out to be less because of an LED's lifespan and far fewer watts used. Compare CFL's vs. Halogen vs. Fluorescent vs. Incandescent vs. LED

The benefits of switching from halogen or fluorescent bulbs has been well-documented by several organizations simply by comparing the Light-Emitting Diode (LED) to less efficient predecessors. Learn more about LED technology! Learn more about LED technology!

One major question centers around what most people experienced when they retrofitted their home lights to CFLs, which is what is the real lifespan of these bulbs. With CFLs, consumers were promised a longer-lasting light bulb that was better for the environment than traditional incandescent bulbs. What consumers got, however, were CFLs that were blowing out much quicker than promised and contained toxic chemicals including mercury. Save money by switching to LED street lights.

• LEDs do not contain any toxic chemicals.
• LEDs are made to be turned on and off.
• LEDs are well-suited for outdoor environments with extreme cold or extreme heat conditions.
• LEDs can be controlled with software on the user’s computer or smartphone. Besides being controlled, detailed information about each LEDs’ watt-usage and performance can be analyzed by the user.
• Fully dimmable.

The data is clear. The benefits are irrefutable. If you are interested in making a cost-effective and beneficial investment in your company that will allow you to spend less on energy and replacement bulbs, shop at HomElectrical Electric Supply.
