The introduction of Led light sources has brought several benefits compared to that of traditional lamps. These new sources have characteristics of high efficiency and duration, allowing savings in terms of maintenance, replacement lamps and energy consumption. Leds can have multiple sizes, wattages and shapes to suit the most complex design and decorative requirements. The light emitted can be of different shades and color rendering and does not radiate heat and UV rays so it is more versatile and more healthy for human beings. 

 Six Steps Bring more Lighting Retrofits Benefit

Lighting accounts for about 20 percent of all commercial electricity consumption. A single building can have thousands of light fixtures, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year to operate. If you're considering a complete lighting retrofit for your business, these six steps will help you generate larger savings:

1. Replace Existing Lighting Fixtures.

The starting point for every lighting upgrade is replacing your old incandescent or metal halide lights with newer fluorescent or LED fixtures. However, if you stop there, you’ll be missing out on the potential for even bigger energy savings.

2. New Lighting Design, Layout & Specification.

Often, your old lighting layout isn’t ideal for new energy-efficient lighting technology. A lighting retrofit is the perfect time to consider adjusting your layout to improve your overall lighting quality and energy efficiency.

3. Lighting Control Automation.

Have you ever forgotten to turn the lights off when you left the area? This simple and common mistake ends up costing businesses billions every year. Because you're redesigning your facilities, you can easily integrate a new smart lighting control system to turn lights on when somebody enters the area and turns them off when everyone leaves.

4. Outdoor Lighting Retrofits.

Outdoor lighting is often overlooked, but it's important for a number of reasons. Adequate lighting is necessary to create a safe working environment, but it can also showcase signs, landscaping, and other outdoor fixtures. Newer outdoor light fixtures typically last longer, which can save your business significant money in maintenance costs.

5. Specialty Lighting Fixtures.

Offices, hallways, reception areas, and storage rooms often dominate lighting design. However, stairwells, cold storage rooms, wet rooms, and loading docks require specialized light fixtures. Specialty lights are designed to improve safety, and rugged designs allow them to continue running with little to no maintenance.

6. Energy Retrofit Rebates and Incentives.

Comparison,Replacement,Energy saving 

A lighting retrofit can be a hard sell in a struggling economy, but it won't be as expensive as you think. Although the initial price tag might be high, many state governments and utility companies provide financial rebates for companies to upgrade their facilities with energy efficient light fixtures. While rebates will vary from state to state, you should be able to save at least 10 percent off of the cost of a lighting retrofit. However, the biggest cost savings will come over time as you dramatically cut energy costs through increased efficiency. 

  Which means the consumed electricity by HTI LED light is about 10% of incandescent light bulb or 50% of CFL.

If your place is installed with all incandescent light bulbs, suppose you change all into HTI LED lights, now please take out your electricity bill, from the very next month, you only need to pay 10%.

And please pay attention to the streets in your city, if all the Metal Halide street lights are replaced by HTI LED street lights, your municipal government only pays 40% from the very next month, try to estimate how many street lights installed in your city, and try to imagine if the saved amount all invested for improving environment, how better your living could be?

Benefits of LED lights

> No UV or IR radiation.

> No Flicker or Noise.

> No Lead or Mercury

> Instant and bright light. 

> Energy efficiency – Most of HTI LED lights are with high energy efficiency above 88%. 

> Low or No maintenance. HTI LED lights are equipped with top grade chips and reliable drivers with excellent design for sounded heat dissipation, which ensures stable working in guaranteed period. 

> Long life – LED lights can last well in excess of 50,000 hours. Incandescent light bulbs typically last around 1,000 hours and fluorescents are good for roughly 6,000 hours. In comparison, LED lifespan is about 50 times of incandescent and 10 times of fluorescent. 

> Luminous Efficiency – Most of HTI LED lights are with high luminous efficiency above 80 Lm/W, and still we are seeking to achieve at higher level by using top grade Cree XP chips of 139 Lm/W.

Compare Lifespan and Lumen Performance between LED and other Lights

Obviously we see:

1. LED prevails any other light source in lifespan and lumen performance (> 50,000 hours at 70% performed).

2. Up to 100,000 hours (> 11 years continuous life) can be projected. 

Global Legislation Phase-out Incandescent Lamp
 Energy Independence And Security Act of 2007 phases out inefficient incandescent lamps starting in 2010 and with 100W in 2012 and 60W & 40W in 2014

· Phases out lamps between 40 and 150 watts within the two year time line

· Requires light bulb makers to improve the efficiency of incandescent bulbs by 25 percent.

· Phase II of this will start in 2020, which will effect all general purpose bulbs

Canada, European Union and other countries have enacted similar policies, examples of incandescent lamp bans:

· Brazil and Venezuela phase out started in 2005

· Switzerland, The Netherlands, Australia and Ireland began their phase out in 2009

· Philippines phased out by 2010

· Italy phase out began 2010

· India will phase out by 2012

· U.K. phases out by 2011

· Finland phases out as of 2011

· Argentina, Russia and Canada will phase out in 2012

· All members of the EU will phase out by 2012

China agreed to phase out incandescent production over the next 10 years

· China accounts for 75% to 90% of world light bulb manufacturing

Why Led lighting solution? 
Technology is changing lives at a pace never before witnessed in all of human history, and with it, the way we see the world. More than a hundred years ago the incandescent filament brought illumination to the night, multiplying human productivity at an exponential rate. Later, fluorescent light rose up as a power-saving alternative to the incandescent.
