Be it offices, residences or commercial spaces, light-emitting diode, popularly known as LED, is fast emerging as the preferred lighting solution, and rightly so. Extended lifespan and low energy consumption, that in turn leads to financial savings, are two of the most prominent reasons why LED is becoming increasingly popular.
However, don’t just blindly opt for LED just because everyone is doing so. Once you have decided to go the LED way, make sure you choose the right lighting partner. This will make all the difference. Your lighting partner will clearly understand your requirements and provide you customized solutions that will help you save both -- energy and money. This way, your transition to LED will not only be smooth, but also beneficial in the long run.
We tell you 5 things you must look for in your prospective LED provider:
1. Ability to provide holistic solutions: The LED provider you choose must be able to address all your lighting issues ranging from indoor to outdoor, including signage. Such a lighting partner will be able to provide you holistic, high-quality and standard solutions that are financially viable.
2. Approaches problems with innovative solutions: LED lamps and fixtures are not only cost-effective and environment-friendly, but are cosmetically appealing too. The right LED solutions can help you overcome problems posed by traditional lights and fixtures. Some LEDs score over traditional lights by offering you excellent color perception and reduced glare. This is where a suitable LED provider comes into the picture. To ensure that you derive maximum benefit out of LEDs, you must choose a lighting partner who offers you innovative, and at the same time, economical solutions.
3. Tried, tested and trusted: When it comes to selecting an LED provider, don’t simply go by exaggerated claims. Look for a lighting partner that thoroughly tests its LED products rather than relying on component manufacturers. Some trends, including color shift, light output depreciation and power consumption can only be measured through evaluation of the final product. Your LED provider should be willing to share its test data so that there is no room for doubt. Always remember to buy LED products that are tried, tested and trusted.
4. Has a nationwide network of distributors: So after a fair amount of research, you have decided on who will be your LED provider. But wait a minute, have you asked yourself these questions yet -- What if something stops working? Will there be regular maintenance checks? Will there be timely delivery of items? If you want all these questions to be answered in the affirmative, choose a lighting partner who has a wide network of distributors and also one who provides local support.
5. More than just product solutions: While quality of service and expertise are non-negotiable, your lighting partner should also be in a position to give you a clear idea of your future savings and how the changes will look like. Your LED partner should be able to help you reduce your payback period and continuously help you save additional energy.
Choosing an LED provider must be done keeping long-term benefits in mind and only then will you be able to make the most of your partnership. The right lighting partner will ask relevant questions, fully understand your needs and only then provide you solutions. So if you want to see things in a new light, literally, it’s up to you to make the right decision.
