Lighting Retrofits


Description

Experience the rapid advancements in lighting technology with Strongman Electrical. Gone are the days of limited choices like incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Today, businesses are embracing the brighter and more energy-efficient LED lights for both indoor and outdoor spaces. If you're considering upgrading your lighting, Strongman Electrical is here to guide you through the process.

While switching to LED lights offers numerous benefits, it's essential to understand that a simple bulb replacement may not always be sufficient. Some fixtures may not be compatible, requiring a lighting retrofit. Let's explore the advantages and disadvantages of investing in a lighting retrofit for your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Save Money: A lighting retrofit can lead to significant cost savings for your business. By upgrading your lighting, you not only reduce energy consumption but also lower your monthly bills. Estimates suggest that for every 25 light bulbs used over 25,000 hours, your business could save over $3,600. With most businesses having more than 25 light bulbs, the cost savings multiply based on the size of the building and the scope of the retrofit. Typically, you can expect to recoup your investment within two years, after which it's pure savings.

2. Enhanced Attractiveness: Upgraded lighting makes your business more appealing to customers. With better light quality, your building becomes a pleasant place to spend time, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both customers and staff. Moreover, improved visibility in dark settings ensures a brighter parking lot or garage at night, enhancing safety and customer experience.

3. Energy Efficiency: LED lights consume significantly less energy than traditional bulbs. The U.S. Department of Energy states that LEDs use 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs. By reducing your carbon footprint through upgraded lighting, you contribute to the fight against climate change.

4. Lower Maintenance Costs: A lighting retrofit offers long-term cost savings by reducing maintenance expenses. Unlike incandescent bulbs that last for around 1,200 hours, LED bulbs can last up to 50,000 hours or even longer. This means fewer replacements, less frequent bulb purchases, and reduced labor costs for maintenance personnel.

Despite the numerous benefits, the main challenge with a lighting retrofit is the upfront cost. The investment depends on the scale of your project, especially if your fixtures require replacement. While a simple bulb replacement may only cost a few thousand dollars, a larger property with extensive fixture upgrades could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
