Reasons to consider LED Lighting on your job.

It’s that time of year with shorter, darker days, but work on site must go on. To get the job done properly and safely, using the correct type of lighting is an important consideration.

There are various options out there including fluorescent and halogen solutions, and in both cases these are better than traditional incandescent lighting. They are usually cheaper to buy up front than LED lighting too. However, the many benefits of LED lighting over these more conventional choices, far outweigh the initial purchase cost and is why they’re such a popular choice.  

LED light bulbs produce light in a very different way to more conventional and halogen light bulbs, and with this comes many benefits.

  • Efficiency. LED lights can be 80-90% more efficient than halogen lights, meaning your daily running costs will be far lower.
  • Instant Light. LED lights provide instant light, so they don’t need to warm up like halogen lights need to.
  • Focused Light. They produce a more focused beam of light than alternatives, enabling light to be directed to specific areas.
  • Safety. LED lights are safer because they produce a significantly lower level of waste thermal radiation, and don’t generate the high levels of heat that halogen lights do – which could be hazardous onsite.
  • Reliability. LED lights operate reliably in cold temperatures, unlike fluorescent lamps where operation can be affected by this.
  • LED lighting is also more resistant to shock or vibration than other lights because they are built with robust components, making them extremely durable.
  • Long Life. LED lights last longer, up to 25 years! This makes them cost-effective, but also ideal for placing in hard to reach places which can subsequently reduce maintenance costs.
  • Environmentally Friendly. LED lights are ecologically friendly because they contain no toxic chemicals like other lights, they are 100% recyclable and much more energy efficient.
