LED Bulbs - Emerging Energy Efficiency Solutions

 LED lamps have been in use for a very long time now, thanks to their energy efficient technology and longevity. They have largely been used as indicator lights fixed on sockets because of their faint glow and minimal power consumption. However, they have made a mark in the bulb industry for their energy efficiency technologies.

In the early stages of its invention, LED technology had restricted applications because of the limited illumination levels. Over the years, however, the technology has evolved dramatically, enabling the manufacture of high-powered LED lamps that produce light levels equal to incandescent light bulbs of various sizes. Not just that, these advancements have also allowed for diverse sizes of LED lamps, allowing for proportional similarity with traditional bulbs. Though they have made a successful debut in the energy-saving bulb market, their costs remain considerably high. However, their long-term performance and energy-conserving capacity outweigh the cost factor, also rendering a huge saving in electricity bills.

It is not surprising that LED bulbs are also becoming a sought-after option for commercial lighting because of their higher quality of illumination, better brightness, improved definition and lesser energy consumption when compared to their incandescent equivalents. They are also advantageous over energy-efficient CFL bulbs in terms of safety and environmental friendliness, and are considered the next generation lighting solutions as they provide environment-friendly illuminations and economical retrofitting solutions for existing buildings.

Get Your Facility Up to Date with LED Lighting Retrofits

Retrofitting a facility simply translates into adding something new to an existing setting. When it comes to lighting, LED lighting retrofits are the most common ones. 

Why? They replace traditional lighting technology across a wide spectrum of lighting applications and can be extremely useful in a variety of lighting applications used for interior lighting, exterior lighting, and small lighting in mechanical applications. 

The three significant reasons why facility owners are largely shifting to LED lighting retrofits are energy efficiency improvements, reduction in operating expenses, and improved lighting quality. However, it is important to understand that the LEDs work somewhat differently than the traditional lighting solutions, and thus, one needs to keep a few things in mind when considering getting a retrofit done. 

Who you turn to for getting the retrofit done matters too? Icopower ESCO, for instance, is known for providing reliable, high quality, high efficiency, and cost-effective lighting products. They use a combination of industry experience, manufacturing partnerships, and logistical capabilities, and design solution-oriented packages around each client's particular goals.

They have partnered with the world’s best manufacturers to deliver the very best in quality, installation and ongoing LED Lighting Retrofit services, and provide luminaires for both private and public infrastructure, namely: Street lights, building illumination (interior and exterior) and customization of the luminaries as per the client’s needs.

Other than LED lighting retrofits, Icopower ESCO can also be contacted for other services such as thermography services, installation and maintenance services, solar PV, voltage optimization systems, measurement & verification services, energy monitoring, energy audits, and more.
