The Advantages of Installing LED Lights in Your Warehouse
Lighting is like the unsung hero of any warehouse or commercial space, always there and always needed. It's essential to have a well-lit environment to keep operations running smoothly. If you're exploring ways to illuminate your warehouse in Aotearoa, one of the best things you can do is install ultra-efficient LED lights.
LED lights have skyrocketed in popularity due to their energy-efficient and cost-saving properties. But you might ask, "Are they the right fit for my warehouse?"
Let's dive into how these versatile lights can specifically benefit your warehouse.
Why You Should Choose LEDs For Your Warehouse
Warehouses are typically large, sprawling spaces requiring ample lighting throughout the entire building. Traditional lighting solutions such as fluorescent and incandescent lights may not be efficient or practical enough to keep these vast spaces lit.
On the other hand, ultra-efficient LED warehouse lighting, with a lighting design customised for your space and installed by skilled professionals, could be the ideal solution for you.
Here's why:
It’s Energy Efficient. Speak to any lighting expert, and they'll tout the superior energy efficiency of LEDs. Ultra-efficient LED bulbs consume up to 75% less energy than traditional ones. The savings on your energy bill alone make LED lighting an attractive choice.
When managing a warehouse or commercial space, making wise financial decisions is key. Switching to LEDs offers an efficient way to save money without sacrificing the quality of lighting or safety.
The cost savings from this switch typically pays off within about 1-5 years, with an average break-even point of around 3 years.
They have a Long Lifespan. LED lights are known for their impressively long lifespan, far outlasting traditional lights, up to 7 times longer for the lights we use. You can ensure they last for a very long time by having them installed by certified electricians who know what they’re doing.
The longer lifespan of LED lights means fewer replacements, leading to savings on the cost of new bulbs. Additionally, it spares you the time spent procuring and installing the replacement bulbs.
Remember that warehouses often have very high ceilings, so installing LED warehouse lighting isn’t as easy as reaching up and switching a bulb. An extended lifespan ensures you won't have to grapple with the inconvenience of replacing hard-to-reach lights or, even worse, stopping operations to install replacements.
They're Durable. Many people consider light bulbs fragile objects that can break at any bump, but LED lights are extremely durable and can withstand harsh environments. They’re also resistant to hotter and colder temperatures. They’re a great choice for warehouses, often exposed to dust, dirt and moisture. We have even installed Zone 21 "explosion-proof" lighting.
They're Bright. Warehouse lighting needs to shine brightly enough to illuminate vast areas. LEDs fit the bill perfectly due to their high brightness and ability to alter the colour temperature.
Working with an experienced company like Lighter Limited ensures your warehouse lighting is tailored to your needs. A well-thought-out lighting design can maximise the advantages of high-quality LEDs, ensuring no energy is wasted.
It's rather incredible that LED lights can be so bright and long-lasting, while being energy efficient at the same time.
They Improve Safety And Comfort. Warehouses are bustling, and poor lighting can lead to accidents and mishaps. Insufficient lighting also causes eye strain and fatigue, impacting your team's morale and productivity.
Shockingly, many warehouses fall short of standard lighting requirements, resulting in eye strain, accidents, and mistakes.
LED warehouse lighting enhances the safety and comfort of your space, ensuring excellent visibility. Clear sightlines reduce the risk of accidents, and tasks like distinguishing colours or reading small text become much easier.
Boosting safety and visibility not only benefits your dedicated team, it also enhances productivity, ensuring tasks are completed on time.
