LED Lighting for Public Utility Company Facilities

We are here to help! Call 856-427-9411

When it comes to energy efficiency, it’s tough to beat LEDs (light-emitting diodes).  LED lights produce around 1.5 times as much light as compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and around six times as much light as incandescent bulbs – while using the same amount of electricity.  Not only that, but modern LED lights are around 50% more efficient than they were in 2012.  When choosing lighting solutions for public utility company facilities, LED is the clear winner.

At Martek, we work with our clients’ needs to help them select the best lighting solutions for their goals.  Especially for public utility companies, it’s important to consider your facilities’ power draw and maximize energy efficiency, passing more on to your customers.  To set up a free consultation and discuss your lighting needs with our industry experts, contact Martek online today or give us a call at (856) 427-9411.

 

Lighting for Utility Company Buildings and Headquarters

Operations at a utility company range from boots-on-the-ground workers managing lines and connections to office, administrative, and billing staff.  Because of this, utility companies have extremely diverse lighting needs.

Ensuring that your plants and facilities are well-lit is a must.  LED lighting can provide wide coverage from very small lighting fixtures, which can push farther and brighter than halogen or fluorescent lighting.

In more office-like settings in administrative buildings, customer service departments, and billing departments, you want lighting solutions that help prevent worker fatigue and discomfort.  Avoiding the stereotypical indoor fluorescent lighting that office spaces have used for decades in favor of LED lighting can help prevent eye strain, enhance worker productivity, and ensure better lighting at a lower cost.

Utility companies are required to run, day or night, through storms and other disasters.  Emergency lighting tied to LED systems helps improve efficiency and light more of your facilities on backup power.  This can increase efficiency and response during power outages and help you keep utilities running for your customers.

 

Is LED Right for Utility Company Facilities?

The Department of Energy predicts that most lights will be LED by 2030.  As it stands, LEDs can produce over 100 lumens per watt of energy they expend, and it’s predicted that this should bump to 150 lumens per watt by 2020 – or even up to 200 lumens per watt by 2025.  Upgrading your facilities to LED lighting fixtures ensures that you’re ready for the future.

LED light bulbs and fixtures are sometimes more expensive than their fluorescent or halogen counterparts, but many of these bulbs and fixtures can entitle you to rebates and incentives that can drive the cost down.  On top of that, the savings from upgrading to LED lighting can have them pay for themselves. 

The ever-increasing efficiency of LED lighting means that you’ll be paying for only a fraction of the energy consumption that you would with your current lighting design.  These upgrades can return savings year after year.  In addition, motion-sensitive lighting and auto-shutoff fixtures can save you additional money by ensuring your facilities are only lit where you need them to be. 

Martek’s lighting experts understand what your facilities need and can work with you in planning your upgrade, selecting fixtures and equipment, and getting your LED remodel started.

 

Upgrade Utility Facilities to Efficient LED Lighting

Many people fear upgrading to LED because of older lighting they’ve seen.  Many cars and older LED fixtures appear too blue, and people may fear the overly-bright light that LED can sometimes shed.  In many cases, choosing the right LED fixtures, bulbs, and setups for your needs can eliminate these problems.  Many LEDs can be adjusted to different color temperatures or set to pure white, correcting any color issues.  Bulbs and fixtures also include different ways to project the LED light.  This can help you tone the light to the setting you want, so that you get the right quality of lighting exactly where you need it.

If you are building a utility company facility, headquarters, or other structure – or if you’re considering upgrades to an existing facility – talk to the LED lighting experts at Martek.  Our lighting suppliers work at the forefront of LED technology and have over 40 years of experience in the lighting industry.  Our lighting distribution and consultation services are available nationwide, and we help dozens of industries get the lighting solutions they need.  To talk to our experts about your LED needs at your public utilities facility, contact us online or call us today at (856) 427-9411.

    Our Clients are saying...
    “I take care of one of the major bridges between NJ and NY; the last thing I need to be worrying about is changing light bulbs.  Someone came to my site, assessed my application and quickly made a recommendation.  The product was delivered within that same business week and saved me thousands of dollars in maintenance costs!”
    “We are a distributor to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant chains and Martek was able to manufacturer the perfect LED to meet our specific dimming and color temperature needs.  They made the process extremely easy and have been a pleasure to work with.”
    “I have had a relationship with Martek for over 20 years.  As an electrical distributor, they are always available to help me in quoting the proper LED for my customers’ needs.  They ask the right questions and explain the differences in brands and give me the freedom to choose.”
    “Martek came to my site and did a complete lighting assessment of areas that could benefit from LEDs.  They were honest about which areas we should focus on and followed up with specific product recommendations.  We have replaced the old fluorescent bulbs with LEDs and not only is our facility brighter and we are saving money, but my maintenance team is no longer spending hours replacing bulbs every week.  Thank you Martek!”
    “We have hundreds of indicator bulbs within our electrical sub-station.  I called Martek and sent them a picture of the bulbs we were constantly replacing.  They were able to ship me the proper LED replacement that same day and now we have a product that lasts 100,000 hours instead of only 1,000 hours.”
    "We needed to have Safety Coated bulbs at our restaurant ASAP (in order to pass a health inspection), and Martek made that happen.  I highly recommend them for their Safety Coating services!"
