LED Lighting Retrofits
Maryland Home & Business Owners Rely on Weisman Electric Company
From traditional incandescent light bulbs to halogen lamps and fluorescent lighting, home and business owners have more lighting options than ever before. One of the latest types of lighting to revolutionize the industry are light-emitting diodes (LED lighting). LED light fixtures are versatile and are now found in applications spanning all sectors, including warehouses, showrooms, and offices to homes and streets, parking garages, and outdoor lighting. Have you made the switch to LED lighting yet? Weisman Electric’s certified electricians would be happy to show you the way with LED lighting retrofits in Annapolis, MD and the surrounding areas. Read on to discover the reasons why so many of your friends and neighbors have already made the switch and haven’t looked back since upgrading their lighting solutions.
LED Bulbs Are More Energy-Efficient Than Other Types
LED bulbs draw less energy than fluorescent and halogen lighting, making them a practical, energy-efficient choice. They only require 5% of their generated energy to heat, converting the rest of their energy to light. Needing less energy to heat makes them more efficient in conjunction with your air conditioning system. Because they’re far less likely to overheat than other types of lighting, they’re also often a safer choice, especially if you manage a manufacturing plant or restaurant kitchen that already gets fairly hot on its own. Studies have shown LED lights may be up to 80% more energy-efficient than others, meaning you should enjoy savings in your monthly utility bills almost immediately after making the switch. Not many investments pay themselves off as quickly!
BUILT TO LAST: THE DURABILITY OF LED LIGHTING FIXTURES
LED lights don’t contain filaments or glass, making them more durable than incandescent light bulbs. They’re ideal for outdoor lighting applications because they’re designed to brave the elements. LEDs used to be costly compared to other more readily available lighting options. However, LED lights have come a long way in terms of their manufacturing and design, making them more affordable for the average consumer today.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY: LED LIGHTING REDUCES TOXIC WASTE
Unlike fluorescents, LEDs don’t have mercury inside them, meaning you can do your part to help reduce the amount of toxic waste in our landfills when you opt for this type of lighting. LED lights also last a lot longer than other types of lighting, meaning less transportation, packaging, and disposal wastes when you make the switch. Feel good about your new lighting source, knowing you’re doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint on the environment!
LED LIGHTS CAN BURN ANYWHERE FROM 50,000 TO 200,000 HOURS
Nothing lasts forever, but LED lights enjoy a significantly longer lifespan than other lighting solutions. On average, LEDs should last about 25 times longer than incandescent or halogen lighting. Some LED bulbs may last up to 200,000 hours. When you rely on Weisman Electric to install your LED landscape lighting, you can expect it to last at least 50,000 hours.
MAINTENANCE-FREE LED LIGHTING FOR LESS FREQUENT REPAIRS
LED lighting is maintenance-free, making it ideal for just about any application. Many homeowners are using LED lights to enhance everything from their porch and backyard patio lighting to innovative under-cabinet lighting in their kitchens. You won’t have to worry about frequent electrical repairs when you make the switch to LED lighting, and Weisman Electric would be happy to help you explore your options!
