By now you've heard all of the hype about LED bulbs and all the benefits of using LEDs over traditional incandescent or HPS bulbs. For individuals in private homes, switching to LED lighting will help save money and electric. It also is good for the environment. This is the basic understanding of LED products as we have come to know. If you are like me, you are in the process of switching to LED, but you are waiting for your old incandescent or CFL bulbs to burn out. You spent money for those and don’t want them to go to the landfill before they are expired.
Energy efficient LED tube lights.However, for business and industry, the urgency is now. Replacing traditional bulbs with LED lights is an urgent and immediate requirement. Don't put this off any longer because each day you are spending more money than you should. You are wasting electric. Places that have lights on for more than 8 hours a day are doing themselves a very strong disservice by continuing to operate their old HPS, florescent, or even incandescent light fixtures.
Think about making the switch now. The savings by switching to LED are immense and immediate. Each day you wait costs you more money. Some warehouses, department stores, municipalities and other areas that keep lights on more than 15 hours a day often report their payoff in ONLY ONE MONTH. If you are operating a grid of lights with multiple fixtures burning more than 5,000 watts of HPS, CFL (fluorescent) or Metal Halide, or incandescent, energy-savings of LED lighting will be remarkable.
The cost of upgrading the bulbs now and throwing out those old bulbs will pay off in such a short amount of time that it does not make sense to continue wasting electricity with traditional bulbs. The amount of time it takes to see a return on the investment in new bulbs varies based on the number of hours of light you're using.
Generally speaking, a facility with lights burning 24/7 will see a payoff within a few weeks. Once the lower electric bill pays for the cost of the LED bulbs and their installation, the ongoing savings in electric is momentous. Furthermore, the long lifespan of LED bulbs means you will not have to replace them for many years. Long Lasting LED's will last more than 50,000 hours, around 5.5 years if used 24 hours a day. This means that ONLY after 5.5 years of use you will start noticing a decrease on the brightness of the bulb.
The amount of daily hours of lighting use is the most important aspect to determine the payoff time and the ROI.
