Finding the Right Energy Efficient Commercial Office Lighting

As a business owner, you are obligated to provide your employees and customers with a comfortable and productive place to work. This is why it is important to carefully choose the lights under which they work.

If you incorporate the wrong commercial office lighting into your business it can have a detrimental effect. If you have installed lighting in the past, you already know that every project is different, and general illumination advice can only go so far.

Today it’s not enough to just have good illumination for your commercial building. Savvy property and business owners are recognizing the need to install effective lighting that is also energy efficient.

You will still need to consult with a professional illumination expert concerning the finer specifics of your businesses commercial office lighting project.

Then you can decide if you want to follow their general tips to choose and install the lighting yourself, or if you will need to hire an electrical contractor to install the illumination fixtures for you.

In the past, working in an office was often very tiring for employees, customers and business owners themselves, even before doing any work. People in waiting rooms have experienced eye strain and fatigue just from sitting underneath older generation indoor fluorescent lights.

This resulted from the poor power control of older magnetic ballasts in these antiquated commercial office lighting fixtures that were incorporated into a businesses illumination scheme. It would often produce a barely audible humming sound as well as a discernible flickering often causing headaches and undetermined annoyances.

Additionally, the bulbs in those fixtures had a mixture of gases and metals which cast a slightly yellowish glow, which leads to eyestrain. Can you image how much worse it is for your employees and guests, who also have the added stress of their work with which to deal?

If your lights are older than seven years, you will need to install a new energy efficient commercial office lighting control system for the betterment of your employees, customers and yourself.

The Different Benefits Of Using Low Energy Bulbs for Exterior & Interior Lights

Industries and consumers are now heeding the call for the wider use of energy-efficient equipments and devices, and many are now using eco-friendly low energy bulbs for their exterior and interior lighting needs.

These days, the most common energy saving lighting devices are compact fluorescent lamps which are also referred to as CFL’s. These lighting types have been touted to be among the best and most affordable low energy bulbs for homes and offices.  Ask about the superior efficiency of LED and Induction lighting for the highest amount of energy savings.

The standard light bulbs consume large amounts of energy because these turn energy into heat rather than light. CFL’s on the other hand work in the same manner as their early fluorescent cousins, wherein the electric current makes its way through gas in a tube and its tube coating glows brightly.

In addition, the latest array of low-energy light bulbs manufactured and sold today are no longer really big ones, as these are usually slightly smaller than their standard lighting equivalents. These low energy lighting equipments also come with attractive designs and classic shapes.
