3 Tips to Help You Upgrade Your Business Lighting

Lighting is critical for your business’ success. Office lighting provides illumination for your employees to complete their daily tasks. Warehouse illumination does the same. In all business situations, lighting is absolutely essential. However, not all light fixtures are created equal, and if yours are outdated, they could be delivering less than optimal light levels while costing you a great deal in electricity. Working with an electrician will help ensure that you can upgrade your lighting. What should you know about business lighting upgrades, though?

Natural Lighting: Unless your business operates at night when the sun has set, natural lighting should be used to augment your business lighting. Skylights, light tubes and windows allow natural sunlight to penetrate your building, warehouse or retail facility, offering affordable illumination that also brings other benefits. For instance, exposure to sunlight increases employee morale and productivity. However, having a natural light source is not feasible in many buildings, so BIOS Human Lighting has come up with lighting solutions that also increase employee productivity, in addition to improving their mental, physical and emotional well-being.

Light Levels: Check the light levels within your facility during multiple periods of the day. Are the levels sufficient for your employees to complete their duties without eyestrain? Are light levels enough to clearly illuminate all areas of your warehouse, including narrow aisles? If there are any areas where light levels are insufficient, additional lighting should be installed.

LED Technology: Finally, realise that modern technology has moved on, particularly when it comes to business lighting. An experienced electrician can help you understand the options available to you, including LED lighting. These lights can last for decades and can operate for a fraction of the cost of metal halide or conventional fluorescent bulbs, saving your business a significant amount of money over time while ensuring that you have adequate lighting for day to day operations.

When it comes time to handle lighting needs within your business, you should contact your local electrician such as Hilton Electrical. One of their licensed electricians would be happy to provide an in-person inspection of your premises, and then advise on the best route to take for upgrading your lighting based on usage needs, the amount of natural light available, and the available technology.
