The cost of living crisis isn't confined to homes, it is also affecting businesses across the UK.

It has never been more important for businesses to save money. Fortunately, there is a simple way for you to slash your annual energy bills by up to 70%.

Making the Switch to LEDs

Updating your business premises from halogen, incandescent or fluorescent lighting is one of the easiest ways you can save thousands of pounds, while also reaching your sustainability goals and improving the safety of your workplace.

LED lighting is more efficient than traditional lighting and can last up to 25x longer, meaning you save money on energy bills as well as the cost of replacing bulbs every year.

A warehouse can cost upwards of £20,000 per year just for lighting and this may increase even further as we move through 2023. To dramatically reduce this cost, LED lighting coupled with motion sensors and smart lighting systems is recommended.

How Much Can Your Business Save?

Let's take a look at the numbers.

Our customer came to us to reduce their immense annual energy bill. Their multi-storey car park featured dim, outdated, and wasteful lighting.

After a free survey, their lighting was replaced with state-of-the-art LED lighting fixtures and sensors covering the entire building. Not only did this lead to huge energy savings of almost £62,000 per year, but it also drastically improved the safety of their customers and staff.

The Safer Choice

Not only can it save your business money, but LED lighting is safer for the working environment than traditional lighting. Its much-improved light quality results in fewer accidents while also reducing the need for handheld lighting.

No business wants their staff to get injured at work, but poor lighting is a leading cause of injuries such as:

• Slips, trips, and falls

• Eye strain

• Fatigue

• Collisions

• Increased stress and anxiety

A report from Staples found 80% of in-office workers believe good lighting is important. Productivity and employee satisfaction are negatively impacted by poor, traditional lighting which can compromise the profitability of your business.

To reduce the risk of workplace injuries caused by poor lighting, employers need to ensure all work areas are well-lit and maintained. By switching to LEDs, this can be achieved with ease as they are up to 5 times brighter than halogen lighting and LEDs have a much longer lifespan.
