When it comes to business, going green isn’t just about energy conservation, it’s also about lowering operational costs. One of the easiest ways to lower your energy bill is to replace your old, inefficient lighting with LEDs. Coupled with lighting rebate programs, an LED retrofit can be a worthwhile investment.

The Benefits of an LED Recessed Lighting Retrofit

Up to 90 percent of the energy that’s pumped into fluorescent or incandescent lights escapes as heat. This means you’re essentially throwing your hard-earned money in the trash. Not to mention, they’re also terrible for the environment. By investing in LED lighting, your lighting infrastructure will use less energy, require less maintenance, and provide higher-quality illumination. That’s not all; here are some additional benefits that come with LED lighting.

Environmental Impact

Fluorescent lights are known to contain small amounts of mercury and other toxic substances. If the bulbs are broken or burned, these harmful substances can be released into the environment. This means everything from soil to bodies of water can become contaminated if these substances are let loose. Since LED lighting is estimated to last 25 times longer than traditional lighting, LEDs are able to cut down on the fluorescent light bulb waste entering landfills.     

Saving Money

If you want to save energy and money, LED lighting technologies can help you achieve that goal. LEDs are known to use 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. This isn’t the only way they save you money, however. LEDs are built to last much longer than traditional lights, meaning you’ll spend less on replacements.

LED Lighting Rebates

Rebates and incentives are available for commercial facilities that choose to install energy-efficient lighting throughout their buildings. This includes buildings that are newly constructed and older buildings undergoing renovation. These rebate and incentive programs can help offset the cost of making lighting upgrades.    

Adaptability

Thanks to their small nature and dimming capabilities, LEDs are highly adaptable and can be used in a variety of ways. The different uses run the gamut, from circuit board lighting to traffic lights. LEDs are even used to illuminate professional sports stadiums. The number of potential applications is only limited to your imagination.
