Your Choice of Lighting for Safety and Efficiency Outdoors-Light-Emitting Diodes

Our friends at Deco Lighting spend much of their time educating partners like GET, LLC about how we should advise our customers and potential customers about the use of specific lighting products for their respective facilities.  For us, outdoor lighting has been one area we get plenty of inquiries on and finding the right product that is safe and above all efficient-a growing trend were finding with property owners and facilities managers alike.  This week, Deco Lighting shared the following on this specific issue:

"Outdoor lighting is key in guaranteeing the safety of your facility. Not only does a well-lit outdoor area ensure that employees and guests are able to come and go during the night hours without concern, it also acts as a deterrent to would-be thieves and criminals. It’s hard to sneak into a building if that building offers no shadows in which to vanish — dark areas are perfect places for break-ins and other criminal activities.

The problem with outdoor lighting, of course, is that it represents and enormous energy cost. Running outdoor lights all night, every night can quickly raise your electric bill into the stratosphere. And performing maintenance on lights every few months certainly comes with costs of its own. That’s why outdoor light-emitting diode (LED) lighting has become such an in-demand alternative for organizations that still want beautiful outdoor lights but also want more efficiency and lower energy costs.

LED lighting solutions have been shown to provide higher quality light with a dramatic reduction in energy burned. While traditional lights burn into heat a great deal of the energy they pull, LEDs use almost all of the energy they pull for light generation. LEDs also have a longer lifespan than traditional lights and can be installed in much more interesting ways due to not being so reliant on decades-old fixture shapes and designs.

Replacing your existing outdoor lights with outdoor LED lighting will result in a dramatic reduction in energy used, lower maintenance costs (LEDs last longer than traditional lighting solutions), and more control over how you light the area. The light created is also purer and cleaner; say goodbye to harsh yellow tones fired off by aging lighting systems. You’ll find outdoor LED lighting solutions to fit all purposes, from lighting a small garden to keeping a loading dock secure.

There are two big benefits to LED lighting in general: It’s more efficient and flexible. Outdoor LED lighting solutions are no different in this regard from their indoor counterparts."

Benefits of LED Lighting

This point has not been missed by readers of this blog.  GET, LLC, with some help from our friends at Independence LED Lighting and Deco Lighting, has said time and time again that LED lighting  is the next big thing when it comes to keeping your home and office illuminated.

Why?  

Our friends, specifically at Deco Lighting, offer that LED lights create warm, beautiful tones and last far longer than traditional lighting solutions. Additionally, the technology provides one of the most energy-efficient lighting options for homes and businesses.

If you’re new to the world of LED lighting, here’s a quick primer of some of the biggest advantages they offer.

LED bulbs have an incredible lifespan when compared to the traditional light bulb. LEDs have expected operating times of up to 50,000 hours. In other words, leaving your LED lights on for eight hours a day, seven days a week, would give you roughly 10 years of use before you’d need to seek a replacement. Additionally, flipping LED lights on and off has no effect on the lifespan of the bulb.

One of the most powerful benefits of LED lights is the fact that they can be used to light almost any shape and provide immense flexibility of design. Deco Lighting says that because individual lights can be joined together but still controlled on their own, LED lighting provides you with the ability to fine-tune lighting to perfectly match any given space.

LED lighting is far more efficient than their incandescent and fluorescent counterparts, lighting specific areas more effectively and relying on less energy to do so. Additionally, they waste a much smaller amount of energy in the form of heat, are not vulnerable to breakage (LEDs contain no glass), and draw very little power – making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications.

Overall, LED lights provide you with a flexible, efficient, and long-lasting lighting application. LED lighting is better than traditional lighting solutions in almost every possible way, not to mention the fact that the light they give off is cleaner and causes less heat. If you need a new lighting solution, LED lighting is going to be the best way to go long-term.
