Clear answer
Clear answer, explained.
LEDs use less power and last much longer, meaning fewer replacements and lower labour costs. Payback is fastest in facilities with long operating hours—such as warehouses, retail stores, and offices—where lighting is used daily for extended periods. Incentives or rebates can further shorten the payback period by reducing upfront costs.
Key points
What this means in practice.
- Typical payback: 1–3 years
- Faster payback in high-usage environments
- Energy savings of 50–80% vs fluorescent lighting
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
- Incentives can improve
- ROI Long-term savings continue after payback
When this applies
Best-fit environments.
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Retail spaces and shopping centres
- Warehouses and industrial facilities
- Buildings with older fluorescent lighting systems
