Benefits of LED Lighting
Choosing the Right LED Lighting
Color Temperature
2700K (Warm White): Traditional warm glow similar to incandescent bulbs. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where you want a cozy atmosphere.
3000K (Soft White): Slightly brighter warm white. Popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and task lighting throughout the home.
4000K-5000K (Bright White to Daylight): Crisp, energizing light preferred for commercial spaces, garages, workshops, and retail environments. Enhances focus and visibility.
Lumens vs. Watts
Lumens measure brightness, while watts measure energy consumption. When switching to LED, focus on lumens to match your old bulb's brightness.
Common conversions:
- 60W incandescent = 800 lumens = 9W LED
- 75W incandescent = 1,100 lumens = 12W LED
- 100W incandescent = 1,600 lumens = 16W LED
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
CRI measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects compared to natural daylight. Higher is better.
CRI 80-85: Acceptable for general lighting, warehouses, and utility spaces.
CRI 90+: Excellent color accuracy for homes, retail displays, art galleries, and anywhere color matters.
Dimming Compatibility
Not all LED bulbs work with standard dimmers. Look for bulbs specifically labeled "dimmable" and pair them with LED-compatible dimmer switches. We can upgrade your existing dimmers during installation to ensure flicker-free operation.
Real-World Cost Savings
Residential Savings Example
A typical Aiken home with 30 frequently-used light bulbs can save approximately $150-$200 per year by switching from incandescent to LED lighting. Over the 20+ year lifespan of LED bulbs, that's $3,000-$4,000 in energy savings plus reduced replacement costs.
Factor in the reduced heat load on your air conditioning system, and your total savings increase even more during hot Aiken summers.
Commercial Savings Example
A 5,000 square foot commercial building with 100 fixtures operating 12 hours daily can save $500-$2,000 per year in electricity costs after LED conversion. Additionally, the extended LED lifespan eliminates frequent bulb replacements and maintenance labor costs.
Many utility companies offer rebates for commercial LED upgrades, further reducing your upfront investment. We can help you identify available incentive programs.
