The primary benefit of LED lighting is the significant amount of energy it saves within a year, which in turn decreases your carbon footprint.

There are many reasons why companies are switching to LED lighting, with energy concerns and environmental factors being top of the list. The environmental benefits of LED lighting are outlined below.

Outdated lighting equates to a large percentage of a company’s electricity bill


Industrial and commercial buildings are starting to find that their lighting is beginning to become outdated and is now responsible for a very large percentage of onsite electricity usage and carbon emissions. Now there is new technology available in the form of LEDs, businesses can cut their energy consumption by nearly 80% just by updating their lighting systems.

It’s good for CSR


Many businesses are looking at and trying to achieve and exceed their CRC targets and demonstrate good CSR through initiatives and carbon reduction strategies. The supply chain need to all be meeting their customer demands for energy targets, or you might just see them wondering over to a new supplier who does.

Improved recycling and less waste


LED luminaires have a very long life span compared with traditional units, therefore the lamp do not need to be replaced as frequently, hence producing less waste. Being easier on the environment, businesses also are finding it easier to ensure compliance with even tighter environmental regulations (e.g. the WEEE initiative).

The money saved can be used on more energy saving strategies


By saving nearly 80% on energy bills and maintenance and with a quick ROI, the new found money can be invested into other energy saving strategies as part of a wider sustainability initiative or environmental strategy.

Energy saving systems qualify for loans


If the initial outlay seems out of your budget, do not be put off. By going “LED” there are many loans out there including the Siemens Carbon Trust loan. Also be on the lookout for local energy savings schemes, and the ECA allowance. You can make the repayments from the savings you receive from your energy bills!
