The number of grocery stores and supermarkets that are enjoying the benefits of LED lighting keeps increasing all around the U.S. and the world. In this post, we are going to highlight the top benefits of LED lighting in a grocery store, including an explanation of why LED lighting is important for businesses.
It will not come as a surprise for some of you to learn that of the many factors to consider when running a grocery store, lighting is one of the few that the business owner can have control over all while bringing many benefits.
What is LED lighting and why is it important for businesses?
An LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces light using one or more light-emitting diodes. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it.
Why is it important for businesses?
Due to the lifespan of LED lamps. LED lamps have a lifespan many times longer than equivalent incandescent lamps, and are significantly more efficient than most fluorescent lamps. Some LED chips are able to emit up to 303 lumens per watt, compared to 60-100 lumens per watt for fluorescent lamps.
