Lighting is a fundamental part of any office workplace – so much so that it is often taken for granted – but if it is done badly, it can cause a range of ill health effects including headaches, eye strain, fatigue and postural problems. This is why using commercial LED lights can make a positive difference to employees and, in turn, a business’ bottom line.
When the lighting is poor in an office – such as when low-energy light bulbs give off weak and watery light – it means the eyes have to work harder to see properly, and this can cause eye strain and headaches. Dim lighting can also lead to drowsiness and a lack of focus – again neither is desirable in the workplace. It can also lead to greater absenteeism.
By the same token, when the lighting is too bright – such as with hard, fluorescent lighting – it can also cause problems, such as eye strain or migraine, and again productivity is adversely affected.
But commercial LED lighting is crisper, warmer and brighter than low-energy bulbs, but without the harshness common in fluorescent lighting. As a result, employees are healthier, happier and more productive – which, in turn, will have a positive impact on the bottom line.
Another advantage of commercial LED lights are that they are much cheaper to run than regular incandescent or energy-saving bulbs. Commercial LED lights lasts longer – up to 50,000 hours – are more electrically efficient and require less maintenance. LED lighting also doesn’t require time to warm up to full brightness. But arguably, most importantly, using LED lighting can be up to 90% cheaper on annual electricity bills – a huge saving that business owners cannot afford to overlook.
With the benefits to employees and the bottom line, the reasons for installing commercial LED lights are compelling.
