For commercial property owners, lighting accounts for up to 40% of total electricity consumption. Upgrading legacy fluorescent, halogen, or metal halide systems to high-efficiency LED is the fastest way to slash overhead costs.
The Wattage Comparison
LEDs produce the same amount of light (lumens) while consuming a fraction of the power.
| Legacy Fixture | LED Equivalent | Energy Savings |
|---|---|---|
| 50W Halogen Spot | 5W - 7W LED | 85% |
| 4x18W Fluorescent Troffer | 30W LED Panel | 60% |
| 400W Metal Halide High-Bay | 150W LED High-Bay | 62% |
Calculating ROI
Return on Investment (ROI) is calculated by taking the total cost of the LED upgrade (fixtures + installation) and dividing it by the monthly energy savings. For a warehouse operating 24/7, an LED upgrade often pays for itself in less than 12 months.
Beyond energy savings, LEDs last 50,000+ hours, drastically reducing maintenance costs. Contact our [Lighting Companies UAE](/lighting-companies-uae) team for a free energy audit.
