LED Lights Make Sure Your Customers Stay Safe On Stairways

When it comes to your business, you want to ensure that everyone who visits your building will safely come and go: however, one of the most common places for injuries to occur is in stairwells and on other stairways. Keep both your customers and your employees safe by following correct guidelines when it comes to maintaining stairway areas. – Make sure to install hand rails on BOTH sides of the stairs. People will sometimes cross each other going up and down: you should take steps to make sure that both parties can have something to hold onto if need be. – Stairways are never a good place to store boxes or other items, even temporarily. It may be tempting to throw some items onto a stairwell landing for a few days, but doing so may result in injury to someone for which your company will be liable! For exterior stairs, refrain from placing potted plants or other decorative items on either the steps or the landing: they will most likely get tripped over. – Make sure that you have adequate lighting, especially in stairwells that have no natural light. Using low-wattage compact fluorescent lighting in these areas is cost-effective and low maintenance since such bulbs do not require regular changing. Even if your business does not operate during nighttime hours, always cover your bases by having lights over exterior stairs. – Keep exterior steps free from ice, snow, and standing water at all times. You’ll want to inspect them regularly to make sure they are free from broken or loose bricks, crumbling concrete, or any other structural damage that may present a tripping or falling hazard. – Should spills of any kind occur in stairwells, make sure to clean them up immediately instead of waiting to let the night custodian take care of such hazards. – Always install appropriate non-skid stair treads that will help to prevent slipping both indoors and outdoors. Professional suppliers carry a huge variety of treads for all working conditions and that can be customized for your individual needs. Treads come in a wide variety of colors to suit your decor, as well as varying degrees of traction that are appropriate for any amount of traffic. Glow in the dark stair nosings can help customers and employees to see steps in the event of a power failure or other emergency. Suppliers may even off you the option of coating your stairs with an anti-slip coating for added safety. Following these safety guidelines is just good common sense: and it will keep you, your customers, and your employees from suffering unnecessary injuries.

You may have read some of my other articles and the world of energy saving light bulbs. But the terms ‘halogen’, 'cfl’ and 'led’ may of confused you. I plan to solve that problem with this easy to understand article on the basic four types of light bulb.

First of all there are filament bulbs. Basically a current flows through a thin piece of wire causing it to heat and glow. It works by keeping the 'filament’, from which it gets its name, in a zero oxygen environment. This means the filament won’t burn out, or basically set on fire. But due to the design of this light bulb most of the electrical energy is transferred to heat not light and the light all comes from the small piece of wire it can really hurt your eyes. Also due to the heat they release they can be a safety hazard too.

Next up are halogen light bulbs. Not much better, they both work in the same way except halogens have the filament in a small capsule inside the outer 'shell’ of glass. Inside this capsule is a halogen gas which is inert so they won’t react and give off heat However even with these advances they are still not much better than filament bulbs but they will save you 030% in electricity! My advice is get these in any case instead of filaments due to the fact they have a low price and last longer than filament bulbs. In summary they are a much better value for money, but still not nearly as good as CFL’s or LED’s which I will move on to discuss.

The way a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) works is a current flows through a fluorescent gas, which lights up as the electricity flows through it, instead of simply a thin bit of wire getting hot. One huge advantage of a CFL is that since the light comes from all the gas, the light output is spread out and doesn’t hurt your eyes. It also gives a nice glowing effect but whether you want this or not depends on the interior lighting scheme you have and the effect you are trying to achieve. But there is a problem with lower quality CFLs as they tend to flicker when they are turned on but this doesn’t cover up the fact they are a lot better than halogens or filaments from an energy efficiency perspective saving around 80%. But LED’s (Light emitting diodes) are still certainly better because they save around 90% in electricity and consequently contribute positively to carbon reduction.

LEDs are still most certainly the best quality of light bulbs you can get and you may have seen them more often in TV’s and portable electronic devices in the past but now they are more main stream. This is because they use a tiny amount of energy compared to other light bulbs and last extremely long lengths of time, making these the best on the market. Don’t be put off by the higher price because the huge lifespan and low energy usage makes them easily the best value for money light bulb long term. Go for them whenever you can!

A Brief Look at the Advantages of Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Because of the high cost of electrical power, people everywhere are scrambling to find ways to lower their bills. One of the most effective ways to reduce your power bill is to reduce your energy consumption. While many people try to achieve this by monitoring their usage and reducing the amount that they use their electronics, in the digital age this can be a difficult thing to do. Often, people depend on their electronic devices for their livelihoods. Therefore it is not entirely practical for many people to lower their electric bills in this way.

For these people there are alternative approaches, however. Probably the most effective way to lower your energy consumption without altering your professional or personal habits is to use the most energy efficient products available. In the case of lighting, which accounts for a large percentage of anyone’s energy bills, one of the best ways to reduce your energy consumption is to use energy efficient LED lighting in your home and office.

There are many advantages to energy efficient LED lighting products as opposed to traditional lighting sources. For instance, LED lighting is not only far more energy efficient than traditional lighting, it is also far more effective. Car owners who have LED headlights understand just how effective LED lights can be. In automobiles LED lights have been found to be much brighter than traditional headlights which makes them the most cost effective source of lighting available today for car owners. Today there are many LED lighting products that are available for your use in your home, such as recessed home lighting. If you are looking for a way that you can reduce your electric bill, using energy efficient LED home lighting products is certainly a great way to get started.

More Commercial Buildings and Offices Now Using LED Light Bulbs

LED light bulbs have been in the spotlight these past months due to their energy efficiency, low carbon footprint and long lifespan. They’re quickly becoming a serious alternative for general purpose lighting for both indoor and outdoor use. While LEDs used to be found in the homes of the rich and famous and swanky hotel lobbies, they have now been accepted by mainstream society, albeit with some scepticism and reticence. In fact, a significant number of commercial buildings are now using LED light bulbs as a greener and safer alternative to incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Statistics from a case study from Virginia Commonwealth University even show that dozens of commercial buildings and establishments all over the United States are now specifically asking for LED lighting systems to serving as overhead lighting for offices and retail spaces.

It’s not really surprising to hear about such reports. Considering the fact that LEDs come with a plethora of benefits, it was really just a matter of time before the public understood their value. A high quality LED or solid-state lighting system presents a number of advantages over incandescent- and CFL-systems.

· LED light bulbs consume very little energy—a fraction of what incandescent bulbs need, and close to half of what compact fluorescent lamps use.

· LED systems have an extremely long lifespan, with some products capable of lasting more than 40,000 hours of continuous. Don’t be surprised to hear about LEDs only being changed after a decade of use. For commercial establishments, this saves resources normally spent on servicing and replacing bulbs.

· LED light bulbs contain no toxic substances such as mercury, which is found in small traces in all fluorescent lamps and bulbs. This makes LEDs safe for everyone, safe to the environment, and easy to dispose and recycle.

· Almost everyone knows that incandescent bulbs are inefficient—but the average person on the street probably doesn’t know why. Inside an incandescent light bulb is a metal filament, which is heated in order to produce light. This heating process can result in increased ambient temperatures, which can take a toll on cooling systems. Although LEDs also generate heat, they’re miles away from what incandescent bulbs produce.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s also worth noting that LED technology has still yet to be perfected, so only time can tell how far LED light bulbs will go in the future.

There are a number of different elements that have to be taken into account when lighting a room in order to get a functional and attractive result. One of the biggest challenges is working with a …

G9 Bulbs

Light Emitting Diode

Lights are evolving at an incredible rate, alongside our other technologies. As televisions get larger and cars more complex, lights are a product that are wished to shrink in size and increase in simplicity. For a long period of time, the halogen bulb was accepted as the norm, but this is, thankfully, no longer the case. The halogen bulb is guzzling of energy, is not particularly effective as a light and, also, when cracked can release an unappealing, and dangerous, liquid.

But, this is not the case with the light emitting diodes. No, the LED light is cost effective, environmentally friendly and effective as a light source. It is the future of lighting and it is now.

There are a multitude of different variations of light emitting diodes and each of these different variants possess different properties and are advised for incorporation and implementation into different structures, rooms and properties.

G9 bulbs are a wonderful alternative to G9 halogen capsules and are bright enough to altogether effectively replace 20 or 40 watt halogen bulbs and save upon 90% of electricity costs.
