How will you benefit from an LED upgrade?

Lighting can account for between 5 to 18% of total power consumption in a typical commercial marine vessel, depending on its size and how many hours per day the ship is operating. Most vessels constructed prior to 2007 do not have LED lighting installed and so can easily achieve substantial energy savings by upgrading to LED lighting, while simultaneously achieving reductions in carbon emissions (CO2 and NOx).

There are many reasons why you should convert to LED lighting. One reason is that your need for lamp changes will reduce, as the new LED lighting will typically have more than five times higher operating life compared to conventional lighting. Another reason is that energy consumption for your lighting will typically reduce by more than 50%. 

Too many buying decisions are made based on the capital costs of a lighting installation, ignoring the operating costs over the life of the installation. By considering the Total Cost of Ownership (initial investment, energy costs, lamp replacement and maintenance costs) you can more accurately estimate the payback period. In most cases, we are confident that the Total Cost of Ownership of our LED lighting solutions will be lower than a conventional lighting solution. [link to ‘investment analysis calculator’] 

Benefits of upgrading to LED: 

  • Reduced power consumption and carbon footprint. 
  • Longer lifetime reduces the need for lamp changes. 
  • Low, virtually maintenance-free lighting solution. 
  • Converting fluorescents to LED is fast and easy, taking no more time than a normal lamp change. 
  • Better lighting quality with an LED installation, which can be tailored to your precise needs and the environment. 
  • More reliable luminaires, even in harsh marine conditions.
