You may be aware of how LED lighting technology has been revolutionising the lighting industry for years now, however you may not be aware of the newer, even more efficient LED technology that is available today.

It is important to note that not all LED lights are created equal. The efficiency of LED lighting is measured in lumens per watt, which refers to the amount of light output per unit of energy consumed. Older models may have 80 or 100 lumens per watt, while newer models can achieve up to 180 lumens per watt. This means that newer models are significantly more energy-efficient, and replacing older lights can result in substantial energy savings – sound familiar?

For example, let’s say you have a high bay light that runs at 150 watts and has an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. By replacing this with a modern LED unit that has an efficiency of 180 lumens per watt you can get the same amount of light but for 55.5% of the energy. You would save 66.6 Watts per hour of operation.

The savings in this true life example would be £184 a year

This may not sound like much, but when you consider that the light may be in operation 24 hours a day, six days a week, the savings in this true life example would be £184 a year if you are paying 37 pence a Kilowatt hour. This provides payback in less than 12 months in most cases, including the installation. Amazing.

This is just one example of the huge savings that can be achieved by replacing your older lights with newer, more efficient models and get your money back in under a year. In addition to the cost savings, newer LED lights also have a longer lifespan and produce less heat, which can help to reduce cooling costs in some applications. They are also more environmentally friendly, as they consume less energy, are modular and can be repaired and thus produce less waste.

In conclusion, if you have already switched to LED lighting, well done, but do stop to consider that you may have had your investment repaid many times by now it is certainly worth upgrading to newer, more efficient LED models.
