LED technology has been around for many years, but it is only in the last decade that has started to be been seen as an obvious choice. The development of LED has now come so far that today we can adapt it according to different needs and applications. LED is much more energy efficient than its predecessors and by upgrading to modern LED lighting with smart control, a plant's energy consumption can be reduced by up to 80%! According to new EU directives fluorescent T5- och T8 tubes and compact fluorescent tubes will be phased out during 2023. After 24 September 2023, it is still permitted to sell remaining stocks and make use of existing  installations with these, but it is a good idea to already now review alternatives for a more economical, energy-smart and qualitative solution.

Energy efficient and environmentally smart

Thanks to its high energy efficiency and long service life, LED is a much more economical and environmentally friendly choice than standard light sources, even though LEDs are more expensive to purchase. With a lifespan of up to four times longer than standard light sources, you reduce the need for purchasing and maintenance, while getting a more energy-efficient solution. With Aura Opti LED, you can directly replace your old fluorescent lamps with LEDs in existing luminaires. If your lighting is more than 10 years old, however, it pays to replace the entire installation because older luminaires consume so much more energy that it is neither economically nor environmentally sustainable to keep the luminaires. The environmental impact of lighting is 90% of its energy consumption, while production, transport and recycling are only 10%. Thus, it is more environmentally friendly and cheaper to throw the old one in for recycling and instead install a new one.

Good lighting for well-being and comfort

Upgrading to LED also contributes to improved and safer work environments. Poor lighting in offices, schools and workplaces places high demands on our eyes and quickly gives rise to poor posture, headache, tense neck and back, tired eyes and difficulty concentrating. With well-planned lighting, the eyes do not have to strain as much and the energy level and well-being among employees will instead get a real boost.
