5 Advantages of LED HighBay Fixtures
January 03, 2019
Affordable
When LEDs were first introduced into the market, they were very expensive and not everyone could afford them. But things have since changed and LEDs are just as affordable as other lights. In addition, when you buy LEDs, you may get rebates which may lower their initial cost.
Improved Aesthetics
It is the wish of every business owner to make their premises look outstanding. Since LEDs emit beautiful, white light that shows the true colors of objects, they can improve the aesthetics of a commercial space. A space that is well-lit will also appeal to customers and make them feel safe.
Reduced Electricity Usage
LEDs need very little electricity to provide sufficient brightness. They can significantly decrease your electric bill as they use only a few watts to produce a lot of light (lumens). The same cannot be said for HID and fluorescent lighting systems which consume a lot of watts. When you pair LEDs with lighting controls, you can further lower energy costs.
Low Maintenance
The average lifespan of a LED bulb is 50,000 hours, which is more than 10 years. Fluorescent and HID lights do not have long lifespans and need to be replaced every now and then. Since highbay light fixtures are usually mounted at very high points, you’ll spend a tidy sum every time you replace bulbs. LEDs do away with costly maintenance with their durability.
Safe
LED lights are more safe than High Intensity Discharge lamps and fluorescent lights. Fluorescents contain mercury and have to be disposed of safely while HID lights emit a lot of heat and can’t be used in commercial spaces with food or textiles.
