In response to this question, everyone immediately says off the cuff: LEDs consume less energy and are much more energy efficient.
That’s right, an LED lighting system installed with smart solutions can save up to 80-90 percent of your previous electricity bill. However, if you make the right choices, that’s not the only benefit and cost-effectiveness.
A few years ago, a journalist wrote in a motoring magazine that you should buy a vehicle with cheap parts. No, you should choose a car that won’t break down. The same is true for LED lighting systems. You have to choose one that will be delivered to the customer with the right materials, of a high quality, after precise design and manufacture, and after quality control to eliminate all defects.
The one-off, higher investment cost will be well worth it in just a few years. Designed to last forever, the world’s best LED strips can only guarantee this.
When purchasing LED lighting systems, you should pay close attention to the technical content and quality guaranteed by the manufacturer. The maximum degradation of the LED strips within a given period is of particular importance. After some calculations, it may soon become clear that the offer that is thought to be the most attractive is not nearly as attractive. Replacing or repairing LED luminaires that lose a significant percentage of their original brightness after a few years, or months in the worst case, or even go completely dark, can be very expensive and inconvenient. Not to mention the fact that during the works, the affected facilities may not be able to operate without disruption, resulting in a significant loss of revenue, adding to the already high unexpected costs.
Another important consideration is what maintenance is required for the luminaires installed? State-of-the-art fixtures are designed to be virtually maintenance-free once installed, with no extra time or financial burden for users. The question may immediately arise: how is this possible? Again, the answer lies in careful design and material quality. The engineers at Theus LED have created the latest generation of luminaires based on tens of thousands of luminaires and user feedback and experience. Proper surface treatment and flow testing have resulted in light sources that do not require frequent cleaning and dusting even under the harshest conditions.
All in all, energy efficiency alone is far from guaranteeing a return on investment.
You need to choose a system that will do its job reliably and faultlessly for a minimum of five to ten years.
