Benefits to Installing LED's at Your Business
- LED's are about 80% more efficient than incandescent bulbs, and 50% more efficient than fluorescent bulbs.
- Very little heat energy is wasted. The lights do not overheat even after continuous use.
- LED's last about 10x longer than flourescent bulbs.
- They are non-toxic; no hazardous materials are used in production, allowing the bulbs to be disposed of traditionally. There is also no safety risk around young children or in the case of a breakage.
- Electricity bill savings can increase net operating income. If you are a commercial building owner, this will increase the value of your property.
- LED's can significantly reduce energy demand, making it easier to install renewable energy systems to further decrease your energy bills. If LEDs are installed prior to a solar installation, the demand for solar energy will be lower, decreasing the amount of required panels, and making it more financially manageable.
- Light emission is easily controllable, and can be adjusted to create an environment that is most desirable.
- The return on investment (ROI) for LED's can be long because of the high price of the bulbs, but Efficiency Vermont can reduce this time significantly by providing generous rebates for commercial installations.
