Powering a commercial or industrial space on average can cost about $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which can be costly if you’re running a facility for 8 hours a day or longer. So when the light goes out, the only thing you need to replace is the light! With a 10-year lifespan and no ballast maintenance required, maintenance of your facility’s lighting is significantly reduced. LED lights integrate the drivers and LED chips into the tube itself. Ballasts also wear down and require replacing just like tubes. A ballast is what gives fluorescent lighting its power to luminesce. Imagine not having to change a single lightbulb for 10 years! Low MaintenanceĮnergy Focus LEDs are self-contained, meaning they don’t need a ballast to operate. We even back up our claims with a 10-year end-to-end warranty for most of our LED tubes and luminaires. Traditional fluorescent tubes may only last you 34,000 hours, however, Energy Focus LED lights were found to surpass 70,000 hours of testing. Energy Focus is here to give you some facts on how LED lighting can help the environment. By reducing electricity consumption we reduce our carbon footprint in the process.
