While most businesses have made the move to interior LED lighting solutions, not all have considered the benefits of transitioning current outdoor lighting to LED landscape lighting.
What businesses need to realize is that delaying the transition from current landscape lighting options to the LED fixtures and bulbs is actually costing money. Converting to LED landscape lighting will allow a business to see several advantages, all which are well worth considering for any size of commercial property.
Energy Efficiency
A business moving to energy efficient lighting is serving two very different purposes. The one more immediately relevant to the business is that it helps to drop the cost of operation or the lights, which can be substantial in medium to large sized commercial properties.
There is a second consideration as well that savvy business owners and companies are considering. Consumers today are looking for businesses that are reducing their carbon footprint. Installing or converting to LED landscape lighting is a clearly visible sign to these consumers that being a steward of the environment is important to your business.
These bulbs also last up to 25 times longer than high-pressure sodium vapor or mercury vapor lights. This means less maintenance and replacement costs as well as lower waste levels.
Reduce Light Pollution
Light pollution is always a concern in neighborhoods or even in industrial parks and business areas. By using LED lights that can be positioned or selected to only shine the light down to the ground and not up or out from the light, this pollution is virtually eliminated.
Without the diffusing and spreading of the light in all directions, it is also easier to focus the light on walkways, driveways, parking areas and being buildings or signage. Not only does this create an ideal look, but it also adds to the safety and security of your building at the same time.
