LED lighting is increasingly recognised as the best option for commercial lighting both in Auckland and around the world, and high bay LED lamps aren’t just common in warehouses, but in any facility or venue containing high ceilings and requiring illumination of 15 or more feet. Aside from warehouses, sports arenas, gymnasiums, loading docks and other industrial facilities are other popular venues for this style of lighting.

Northern Lights can give you many reasons why you should be installing high bay LED lighting, and the first is the energy savings to be made. Specifically, these lights use less power than other lighting styles, and it’s not uncommon for facilities to save as much as 80% on electric bills compared to lighting alternatives, potentially even more, if this lighting is combined with smart sensors.

However, Northern Lights say that cost savings is just one reason. High bay LED lights last up to 10 times longer than CFL and fluorescent lights, and when they are turned on, they don’t emit any heat. This isn’t just a safety advantage over other types of lights, but because they don’t generate heat, it also saves on cooling costs. In fact, it’s estimated that facilities can save up to 20% on utilities bills, as high bay LEDs will decrease the need for air conditioning.

They are also very durable, to the point where they’re pretty much damage-proof, and essentially maintenance free. LED is also easier on the eyes. Turn on a fluorescent light and it’s bound to flicker, but turn on a high bay LED lamp, and you’ll get the light you want immediately. It is also a fact that high bay LED lighting distributes light better than others, and there is lesser light distortion and minimal static buildup.

One of the main sticking points to installing high bay LEDs in the likes of warehouses is their higher up-front costs. But when you factor in things like energy savings and their lifespan, high bay LED lighting is clearly worth the investment, so to find out more about high bay LED lighting and Northern Lights’ other electrical services, please visit the website at http://www.northernlights.co.nz .
