Commercial LED Business Lighting

Although LED lights represent a significant front end investment for businesses, the multitude of features, advantages, and benefits this technology contributes toward savings on power costs and green building energy efficiency cannot be understated. Because of recent estimates that 40% of all the world’s greenhouse gases are generated by inefficient buildings, investing in new technology now may not only represent a progressive step toward human progress, but it may also soon become a matter of compliance with new legislation that will no doubt seek to curb energy costs associated with lighting.

Considering these facts, let’s begin our analysis of LED commercial business lighting by looking at how this technology specifically helps earn points that can contribute toward earning a LEED construction or renovation certificate.

LEED CERTIFICATION
LED lights for businesses are extremely important to any organization seeking LEED certification. Even though no single product in and of itself can certify a building as “green,” LED business lighting fixtures offer tremendous advantages that earn points for LEED certification on four major levels: energy and atmosphere, sustainable sites, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and process design. General contractors, architects and builders, electrical contractors, and commercial site lighting designers can encourage business owners to invest now in LED lights, assuring them that in the long run the money they save will both recover the procurement costs of the purchase and help recession proof their business by reducing overhead and accumulating a budget surplus. Also, earning points toward a LEED lighting certification can also help recession proofs a budget by preparing a business in advance for the inevitable changes that will very soon sweep the entire lighting industry as global concerns over energy consumption and climate change mounts.

ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE (1-10 Points)
It has been determined that for every 1 million Kwh in energy we save in the world, 777 metric tons of carbon dioxide will be eliminated from Earth’s atmosphere. LED's can make significant progress toward this goal.

Because LED business lighting is so much more efficient than incandescent and HID lighting, it dissipates less heat into space. Cooler temperatures in turn take the strain off of the HVAC system and help lower cooling costs. Another advantage that LED business lights offer is a much more uniform and directional form of illumination than do traditional lights. Because of this, lower levels of light can be utilized to meet minimal lighting requirements, thus further driving power costs down.

SUSTAINABLE SITES (1 Point)
Light pollution is a major concern in a growing number of large and mid-sized cities that are experiencing increased urban sprawl and an influx of job seekers. RLLD Commercial Lighting equips businesses with full cutoff LED site and architectural area luminaires, including lighting case studies to earn light pollution credit.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (1 Point)
Indoor lights are always better when they are controllable and easy to set to desired levels. Because indoor LED business business ight fixtures are fully dimmable, they can earn the 1 point credit for lighting control provided they are connected to the correct type of controller.

INNOVATION AND DESIGN QUALITY (1-4 Points)
LED lighting represents a revolutionary source of technology that is environmentally friendly and extremely high performance. Any business that integrates LED light technology into its scope of operations can potentially earn credit toward certification on the basis of progressive thinking and proactive change.

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
LED light fixtures and lamps for business lighting save money not only on power costs, but also on disposal and maintenance costs. Because these luminaires can last for over 100,000 hours, replacements are very infrequent when compared to HID or, even worse, incandescent.

LEDs also offer the true pioneers in business the first truly viable light source through photovoltaic means. In the past, it simply was not possible to get enough solar power to light an incandescent light or HID lamp. However, since LEDs require minimum voltage compared to other lamp types, solar energy becomes a very real potential source of power that could truly change the world and end the energy crisis in the future.

Finally, because light bars in these luminaires contain no mercury, there is no toxic waste disposal fee, and many LED fixtures used to light business sites and interiors feature aluminum die cast build that is completely recyclable.
