The long-term benefits of LED technology have been recognised across numerous industries striving to achieve much needed financial savings. The growing trend of adopting LED technology has been noted by group editor for Surveyor magazine, Adrian Tatum, who has noticed a trend within the highways and transport sector as well as numerous other industries.
“LED technology has been recognised across many sectors as being far more efficient on a long-term basis. The cost of energy prices has also increased so numerous sectors are looking at different ways in which financial savings can be made,” said Mr Tatum.
“To try and tackle that, LED is being introduced across numerous sectors, the initial investment on funding LED is large but across 10-15 years is much lower,” he added.
Being more efficient is a key message being echoed across numerous industries, with the long-term benefits of introducing energy saving lighting solutions, like LED technology into projects clearly outweighing the initial cost.

The growing need to make significant financial savings has also been witnessed throughout numerous councils, a recent survey has revealed.
The survey was conducted by the shadow secretary of state for communities and local government and analysed responses from a total of 122 councils. Results revealed a significant number of councils were either switching their street lights off completely as a means to save money, or dimming them, or both.
A staggering 35 councils disclosed that they had been switching their lights off completely to save money, with 72 dimming their street lighting and 26 doing both. The introduction of LED technology into street lighting is also something being discussed amongst councils.
“They need to become more efficient therefore that’s why they’re obviously looking at introducing LED into street lighting, there are successful projects ongoing at the moment,” added Mr Tatum.
