Interior LED

Obviously organisations need buildings, which need to be lit, of course – but most of all they need stimulated, healthy and committed employees and as such, getting the best out of your workforce means giving them a quality and comfortable environment that aids their concentration and gives them daylight indoors.

Smart Energy’s portfolio of energy efficient LED lighting products are suited for a variety of internal and external environments, including precision manufacturing, food production and high-risk environments, where it is imperative that light output, light quality and uniformity are high quality – so as to aid precision working  and safety.

These are 5 reasons why our clients switch to LED Lighting:

1. Higher Return on Investment

Common misconceptions of retrofitting are the perceived costly expenditures. However, this couldn’t be farther from the truth! According to The Department of Energy, LED lights consume 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Due to the decrease in energy consumption your facility is guaranteed lower utility bills and overhead expenses. Your capital investment will quickly be met and provide higher returns in the long run.

2. Less Maintenance

Lighting maintenance is time consuming and takes staff members away from more important facility tasks. Another area of concern when replacing light bulbs is employee safety. The risk of falling is ever present when a repairman climbs a ladder to service your facility lights. Since LEDs last 25 times longer than traditional lights, bulbs will require fewer maintenance repairs, allow employees to focus on other to-dos, and minimize safety hazards.

3. Improved Sales

If you are considering an LED retrofit for your B2C business, such as a car dealership, LED lighting can give you a boost in sales. According to the National Lighting Bureau, improved lighting can enhance displays and give customers the extra push they need to purchase. Lighting color can also have an interesting impact on sales. For example, warm colors in your facility can create a feeling of familiarity, which can help to foster employee and customer relationships.

4. Enhanced Productivity

Your employees are the backbone of your business. Their workplace environment, productivity, and overall happiness can be greatly impacted by your facility lighting. To improve employee productivity, consider the impact of proper lighting. Well-lit workstations can reduce the likelihood of errors and safety issues. For example, workers who have better lighting, experience a lower risk of dropping and mishandling an object or work tool.

5. Reduced Environmental Impact

Compared to traditional bulbs, LED lights have a lower impact on the environment. Since LED lights last longer, they reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills. The Organic Consumers Association reported that fluorescent lamps disposed of in U.S. landfills create enough mercury waste to pollute almost every body of water in North America. Switching to LEDs will eliminate your post consumer waste and lower harmful mercury deposits.

Whether your facility is a warehouse, commercial building, or auto dealership, you could benefit from an LED retrofit. From lower maintenance to enhanced productivity, LED’s are an option for any company wanting to save. However, the advantages a lighting retrofit would provide your business are not limited to the benefits previously listed. To truly experience the full impact reach out to your lighting provider to examine your facility’s unique needs.
