Why go green?

You can save money and improve worker performance by upgrading your commercial lighting to LED, and the local power company will likely pay YOU to do it!

Here are 3 quick reasons to upgrade your commercial lighting to modern LED options:

#1 Save Money On Electricity Costs

Replacing outdated T12 and T8 fluorescent lighting to modern LED options can provide as much as 79% energy savings. And since LED lighting is more energy efficient, it burns less energy, produces less heat, requires less maintenance. This ultimately means that switching to LED lighting SAVES MONEY over traditional lighting options!

You can save thousands of dollars per year by upgrading your fluorescent office lighting to LED, and tens of thousands of dollars by upgrading your metal halide warehouse lighting to LED.

#2 Take Advantage Of Available Rebates & Incentives

The second reason to look into a commercial LED lighting upgrade is because your local power company will pay YOU to do it! It may sound counter-intuitive, but when you use less energy you actually help out the electricity company. The energy saved from a lighting upgrade is energy that your neighbor can use. Over time, and on a city-wide or province-wide scale, this energy savings (decrease in power demand) can prevent the need for a new power plant to be constructed.

So to encourage commercial customers to use less energy, power utilities across Canada have created various lighting rebate programs. These energy efficiency programs are unique to each market, but generally offer a rebate per new LED lighting unit installed or a rebate based on the total amount of energy savings delivered from an LED upgrade.

#3 Increase Worker Productivity

Aside from financial motivations, you might be surprised to learn that your choice of lighting can have a significant impact on the productivity of your company. Dim lighting can cause eye strain and headaches, while brighter, pure white LED lighting essentially mimics daylight and causes the human body to react like it would to natural sunlight.
In fact, improvements in productivity, a decrease in accidents, an increased level of mental performance, improvements in sleep quality, and an increase in morale have all been attributed to better & brighter lighting.
