For over 35 years, 4-Star Electric has been helping Calgary and area businesses and commercial spaces grow and become more efficient with their lighting choices. And in today’s blog we’ll be going over the popularity of LED lighting, and how it’s quickly phasing out older, dimmer and less efficient choices both inside and out.
Why LED?
LED lights are popular all over the world, including right here at home because of their enhanced energy efficiency, long lifespan and application versatility.
LED lighting can come in variety of different types, including:
- Ceiling tube lights
- Wall lights
- Outdoor-rated strips
- And even rope lights
Basically, no matter your commercial lighting needs, there’s an LED solution.
In addition to its efficiency benefits, LED lighting is mainly used in commercial settings because of its ability to help create safer working conditions. It casts a broad spectrum of light to effectively highlight potential hazards, and its longevity means you don’t have to worry about a stairwell going dim in times of emergency.
What About The Cost?
There’s a common misconception that LED lighting is more expensive. While it’s true that it’s more costly upfront, the energy savings month over month more than recoup your initial investment. Plus most LED lighting applications can last up to 50,000 hours! That’s like a decade of not replacing bulbs, meaning you can easily work installation into your operational budget.
Is LED Lighting Dimmable?
There’s another common misconception that LED lighting is bright white and only suitable for boardrooms or warehouses. Nowadays there are a ton of dimmable options suitable for a wide variety of applications including spas and restaurants, where things should be a little bit softer.
