Many of you are probably considering LED troffer light fixtures are replacing fluorescent fixtures because you're going to put it in an office ceiling that is either existing or one that’s going to be built. Offices everywhere continue to use this style of drop ceiling grid and will far into the future. It’s your chance to get something that is going to improve visual comfort and better serve your business or home lighting needs. For most type of fluorescent lights, they can be replaced with roughly half the wattage of an LED flat panel light fixture and still maintain light levels. This is just a general rule of thumb although each situation could be different and it depends a lot on the office space that it’s in and what’s being done underneath the light.

One of the primary considerations for making any change is energy savings and how much you can save in real dollars having a good payback for your investment. There’s never been a better time to consider going to something that’s more energy-efficient as drop ceiling flat panel LED fixtures because there are so many choices that will accomplish that energy reduction while getting something that looks a little bit better. That’s why we call these lighting retrofits or fixture replacement, a lighting upgrade. Because it is an upgrade to getting the best possible lighting for the least amount of wattage is what the game is all about. If you can accomplish that, you win. If you’re unsure as to how much money you can save, we have a simple lighting payback spreadsheet that you can download from the left-hand column of our website. It gives you everything you need to compare an existing lighting system to one of our more efficient LED’s. All you have to do is input your current data for the fluorescent troffers you may have now, comparing them to the new system with less wattage draw. Not only do we have results for raw energy savings but it will also calculate the payback, the time it takes to recoup your investment through energy savings. There’s also a figure that you can use for maintenance savings; all this put together can get you a swift payback. Another benefit is the long life of typically 50,000 hours or more, which accounts for maintenance reduction. And if your electric utility has incentive programs for people upgrading their lighting with something more energy-efficient, you can see that go down even further. The return on investment in most lighting solutions is substantial these days, and it’s something to consider to reduce the cost of running your business or office.

Now that we talked about energy efficiency, it’s time to talk about proper lighting. We often say that if you save all the energy in the world, but the lighting job turns out to be poorly done, you haven’t saved anything. Whatever you saved in energy you may lose in productivity or sales if it’s a retail situation. So it’s important to get this done right the first time. We want you to have good lighting while you’re saving a lot of energy. That’s the primary goal, and that’s what it’s all about. If you’re unsure about how many light fixtures you’ll need to get a good lighting job done, you can give us some of the information about the room or rooms you’re trying to light, and we can do a sample layout that will provide you with the necessary lighting for your situation. It’s an excellent way to make sure that what you’re doing is going to fit the task that you’re doing underneath the light as well as the general effect that it will have on the space. But will need some of those details from you which have to do with the dimensions of the room, how high the ceiling is, and what you’ll be doing. All these things make a difference as to getting the right kind of light. If you’re going for a lighting upgrade that has utility incentives, you have one shot to get it right. But fear not, it can be done getting you the best possible lighting effect for any application.

Another consideration that people need to take into account when changing over to very bright LED lights is color temperature. Sometimes people think it’s not that important then they will say that you can give me whatever you feel is best, but we don’t like to do that. It’s an individual choice whether you want something that’s going to have a warmer color appearance or something that’s going to be a cooler color. And a personal preference can reflect on how well office functions. You want to make sure that people are pleased with the color of light if you don’t have that you’ll get people grumbling and may be using it as an excuse for not getting things done. Typically the warm white color which is something around 3000K, cool white is about 4100K and daylight is 5000K. Most people that use these in a home might be looking at something that would be the warmer color temperature because it works so well with different kinds of earth tones you may have in a house. A lot of businesses though prefer the 5000K daylight color because it’s so good with black and white contrast, reading and visual acuity. These are all things that will help people be more productive, and that will assist in making that happen.
