New Jersey homeowners and business owners have seen their monthly electric bills skyrocket over the last several years. For this reason, there has never been a better time to upgrade from traditional lighting to LED lighting because the latter lasts longer and consumes less energy. The result is a significant decrease in those monthly electric bills.
Below are the top five benefits of upgrading to LED lighting for New Jersey homes and businesses.
1) Consumes Up to 90% Less Energy
Did you know that traditional halogen and incandescent lighting consume between 70% to 90% more energy than LED lighting? So, if you were to upgrade your home or business to include LED lighting, your property’s lighting would consume up to 90% less energy than it did before. Imagine the cost savings associated with that on your monthly electric bill.
2) Lasts Up to 50 Times Longer
LED light bulbs have up to 25 times longer lifespan than halogen bulbs and up to 50 times longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs. Depending on how often you turn on your lights each day, your property’s LED light bulbs could potentially last for years before you need to replace them. Not only does this save you the aggravation of frequently replacing your bulbs, but you will also save money on bulb replacements as well.
3) Reduce the Strain on Your Air Conditioning Unit
Another notable benefit of LED lighting is that it emits less heat than incandescent and halogen lighting. You will feel the difference during the hot summers because you’ll no longer need to run your air conditioner as long and hard as you did before. Since there will be hardly any heat emitting from the LED lights, your air conditioning system won’t need to work as hard to maintain cool temperatures in your home or business. That will also save you money on your monthly electric bill.
4) Financial Incentives and Rewards
The New Jersey Clean Energy Program is a government-sponsored incentive program that rewards homeowners and business owners with cash rebates if they install LED fixtures on their properties. The rebates are basically a partial reimbursement on the purchase and installation costs of the LED fixtures. It is part of the state’s agenda to encourage residents and businesses to undertake sustainable energy practices.
5) Brighter Lights
LED light bulbs are about 5 to 7 times brighter than halogen and incandescent light bulbs. Some LED lighting systems even offer brightness control, so you can decide how bright or dim you want your lighting to be on your property. That is something you cannot do with traditional lighting systems.
