Suppose you haven’t switched from traditional fluorescent lighting to LED lights in your office yet. In that case, you may want to consider it now to improve your health and the health of your employees.

LED lights give off a whiter light than traditional compact fluorescent bulbs- resulting in less strain on your eyes when trying to read or focus. This is a great benefit to reduce the strain your eyes undergo while staring at a computer monitor, spreadsheets, or measurements. LED provides you with a clearer view of what you are looking at. Compact Fluorescent bulbs cast objects in a yellow glow and light that is focused in one direction.

CFL light bulbs contain mercury - a highly toxic metal that poses serious health risks. In contrast, LED lights contain no such toxic chemicals or metals. Studies performed by the United States Department of Energy and scientists from Carnegie Mellon both found that LED lights are as efficient to manufacture as CFL lights, and LEDs will become even more efficient in the future. With a market that’s rewarding businesses for going green by offering incentives for energy-saving methods, LED lighting could benefit your business in more ways than one!
