LED Lighting Shows Global Appeal

Companies seeing the benefit of LED lighting is on the rise.  More and more local authorities in the UK are choosing to switch their street lighting over to the more cost effective LED lighting, and in the last few days it has been reported that American Airlines Center, which is known to be the premier sports and entertainment arena located in the Dallas area of the USA, has just changed their parking garage over to LED lighting.  This structure is massive and bigger than nearly all major multi-storey car parks in the UK, which further evidences just how committed companies are to coming on board as they realise the benefits.

Versatilely

One of the main reasons LED lighting offers such a great solution for public spaces, such as multi-storey carparks and street lighting, is the enhanced versatility over older style lighting solutions.  Whether you want the lights to be on at certain times and off at others, or whether you want them to be reactive to the passing members of public, the programmability is there.  This means there is no need to have anyone responsible for lighting, it can all be done automatically on timers.

Quality

LED lighting offers a better quality of light.  Keen to protect their visitors, it was important to the team at the American Airlines Centre that they improved the light quality.  Technology has moved on in the field of lighting and LED lighting is now considered the leading solution.  The light offered by LED bulbs is a much cleaner and whiter light.  It offers a much better level of direction, so can be set to target poor visibility areas to prevent accidents or indeed to provide heightened security by making sure there are no dark areas for potential thieves to lurk. Those responsible for public lighting will understand the responsibility of offering a safe experience to all members of society including those in vulnerable groups.

Cost

The cost of installing LED lighting is often not as bad as people feared.  Fitting it retrospectively as a replacement solution is generally really simple because of how versatile the product is, and once installed the actual savings on the cost to run are realised.  Running LED lighting is significantly cheaper than older style systems.  Firstly the bulbs use very little energy to maintain such a bright and clear light source.  Secondly the average life of a LED bulb is significantly longer than bulbs they have been used to.  This not only saves on replacement parts, but on man hours as there is no need to have maintenance crews on site so often.

Carbon Footprint

Another big pressure companies have is proving they are doing their best to run a business that is friendly to the environment.  LED lighting is really good for the carbon footprint of any business as there is no heat produced and wasted as there is with older style lighting, and because it uses so little energy to run it takes less electricity out of the national grid.

It is easy to see why so many businesses across the globe are switching to LED lighting where possible.  Making the switch is easy, so why not consider it for your business.
