We at Adams Sign Service and Repair know your business is important to you, and we want to help you do what’s best for it. One of the most important things you can do to keep your business healthy is to find ways to reduce your operating costs, and one of the most effective ways to do that is to replace your old incandescent or fluorescent lights with LEDs. Commercial LED lighting is the most energy-efficient lighting option on the market, and our team has put together this article to help you get the best results from your LEDs.
- Use the Right Lights – Our first tip to get the best results from your commercial LED lighting is to use the right kind of lights in the right places. For example, use grid LED lights to provide general illumination for your space, then position task lights closer to your work areas to make sure your workers can see clearly when performing their duties.
- Use the Right Temperature – Another tip for using commercial LED lighting effectively is to choose the right light temperature. Many early LEDs produced a white light with a distinct blue hue, which felt colder than natural light from the sun. We encourage you to use LEDs programmed to a warmer light temperature to make your space feel more welcoming.
- Take Advantage of Automation – Our third tip for using commercial LED lighting is to connect your lights to a smart system to turn them on and off automatically. Some light fixtures, such as those illuminating your showroom, will need to remain on at all times during business hours, but the lights in less-used spaces, like the bathroom, can be connected to motion sensors to turn the lights off when the space is not occupied. This will save you even more money on your lighting.
