LEDucation – Why Upgrade to LED?
Here are a few compelling reasons to look twice at LED technology that is currently flooding into the marketplace, and our subconscious. Why is everyone so excited about LED? Read more for a quick LEDucation.
Save Money—Compared to traditional bulbs, LED certified lighting uses at least 75% less energy. Replacing ten incandescent bulbs with ten LED bulbs could save your restaurant nearly $300 annually in electricity costs.
Reduce Maintenance Costs—LED certified lighting products last 10–25 times longer than products using incandescent light bulbs. Fewer bulb replacements mean less maintenance and more time and money that can be spent on other items.
Better Design and Performance—The directional nature of LED lighting solutions allows for precise placement of light, helping to highlight important areas in your restaurant. LED light fixtures come in a variety of styles, sizes, and forms offering restaurants flexibility in their placement. Durability and enhanced cold-temperature performance make certified LED lighting perfect for outdoor or freezer use.
Reduce Energy Consumption—Lighting is a significant energy user, averaging 13% of the total energy breakdown of a restaurant, a great place to start an efficiency upgrade. LED light fixtures and bulbs, used in both front and back of house, save energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Traditional lighting not only consumes 75% more energy, but also wastes that extra energy as heat. Upgrading lighting systems with efficient light sources, fixtures, and controls can reduce lighting energy use, improve the visual environment, and impact the sizing needs of HVAC and electrical systems.
