The durability of LED lighting

Everyone contributes to the future of our planet and it is therefore important that you as a company are concerned with sustainability. The LED lighting is a simple but effective step towards a more sustainable company. What's up with that? And what exactly is the difference compared to conventional lighting?

To recycle

The use of LED lighting has several advantages. You save energy, the lighting lasts longer and LED lighting is a lot friendlier to the environment. LED lamps are non-toxic and can also be recycled. What's up with that?

LED lighting mainly consists of electronic components such as printed circuit boards, diodes (LED stands for Light Emitting Diode) and semiconductors. They do not contain any chemicals and therefore do not go into the GFT container like traditional lamps. They must be returned to the environment for small electrical appliances so that they can be recycled.

Difference incandescent and LED lamp

An LED lamp provides light because electricity flows through the two electrodes of the diode. Light is created by the movements of the electrons in the semiconductor material.
A light bulb does its job because a filament is heated in a glass bulb. When the light bulb is connected to a voltage source, the filament becomes so strong that the light illuminates. 

Although incandescent bulbs are inexpensive to purchase, they waste a lot of energy and last only a thousand hours. As a result, you must therefore regularly purchase new lamps, which means that you ultimately lose a lot of money. For comparison: an LED lamp lasts an average of 50,000 hours or more.

Save a lot of energy costs with LED lighting in the industrial hall

To maintain a strong position in the market as an industrial company, every form of cost-saving counts.  Lighting often represents around 80 percent of the energy bill, so it is desirable to make the lighting as cost-efficient as possible.  Partly for this reason, it is more than worth considering LED lighting. There are various reasons why an industrial company would do well to opt for LED lighting.  LED lighting has a longer lifespan, so you have to replace it less often.  That means less inconvenience and loss of production.  Another advantage is that the payback time is relatively short.  In industrial halls, the light burns longer (often also at night) so you can assume that the investment in energy-efficient LED lighting will be recovered within approximately eighteen months. That is not all.  LED products often provide more and better light than traditional lighting.  They are equipped with diffusers and therefore less dazzling....

LIGHTING UP AN EXHIBITION STAND: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE IT!

Image
If you are at a trade show with your company, you would like to attract as many visitors as possible to your stand.  Not an easy task, as trade fair visitors decide in a few seconds whether they will visit your stand or not.  However, with good lighting, you have a better chance. You want to stand out at a trade show.  After all, it is about people coming into contact with your product and/or company.  Lighting is an element that should not be underestimated.  With only the lighting that comes standard with the stands, you will really attract fewer visitors.  Good lighting has a number of important effects: you stand out more, it gives the impression that you have something to offer and you will, according to research, appear more confident with visitors to the fair.  That can ultimately also lead to more leads and direct sales. With lighting, you can steer visitors to what you want to focus on and the look you want.  What kind of atm...
