THE BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING

There are a number of benefits of choosing LEDs. You may wish to choose from indoor LED downlights, security lights or garden lights - whatever your pick, we can complete the installation without a hitch. Explore some benefits of LEDs below.

LEDS LOOK GREAT

LED light installations create consistent, attractive illumination for your home. They work equally well for lighting a whole room as well as providing directional lighting. LED lights also allow for  flexible design choices.

Because they are energy efficient and cooler than traditional than halogen lights, our residential electricians can install LEDs in a wide range of locations and combinations to create unique lighting profiles.

SAVE MONEY WITH AN LED LIGHTING INSTALLATION

LEDs are famous for saving homeowners money, meaning they can pay for themselves over time. Incandescent light bulbs waste around 80% of the electricity they use by producing radiant heat. With LEDs, almost no heat is created. 80-90% of all electricity used goes directly into producing light. LED bulbs also last around 50 times longer than traditional bulbs, meaning your purchase will go a long way before you need to replace them.

Heating up those cold floor tiles is a practical and cost effective way of improving your quality of life and comfort. Energy efficient systems help to reduce your bills and allow you to soak up the feeling of being in a consistently warm home.

Underfloor heating is an efficient and cost-effective method of heating your home, originating from Scandinavian countries (which are certainly well-acquainted with the cold!) The system is steadily becoming more affordable in New Zealand, being noted as a great alternative to more traditional heating methods such as radiators or hot air heating systems. Underfloor heating works at a lower temperature and distributes heat more evenly, reducing in less wastage.

As underfloor heating systems are located at the base of a room, and the system distributed across the floor, heat will rise evenly to heat up the entire space, unlike a radiator which will quickly heat up the air immediately around it but may struggle to reach the other side of the room as the heat rises upwards and away. Standard radiators have to work harder, and at a higher temperature for the same effects to be felt.

Underfloor heating systems are hidden away from view, providing comfort without having to take up a large amount of space on your wall or protruding from the outside of your property. They are a great option for in bathrooms or kitchens as they work best with surfaces that are good thermal conductors such as stone or tile.

The systems that we use include a stylish touch screen programmable controller which includes options such as:

PROGRAMMING

• Choice of 7-day or 5/2-day programmable.
• 4-time and 4-temperature settings per day.
• Energy savings up to 30%.

DISPLAY

• Large 4.3-inch touch screen display.
• Blue light display for easier low-light viewing.
• Larger, easier to read character size.
• Extra-large touch keys for easy operation.
• Clean, uncluttered touch screen display provides easier navigation

When you have installed a brand-new, environmentally friendly, up-to-the-minute electrical system for your business premises, you obviously want it to work at the best of its ability.

By making sure that you have a dedicated maintenance programme that goes with it, you can minimise the potential for system faults or hazards, therefore minimising any potential downtime that your business may have to suffer.

At Northern Lights Lighting and Electrical, we believe it is essential to listen to our customers and to work alongside them to build a well thought out maintenance programme that suits their personal needs. Our professionals have worked hard to build long-lasting relationships with all of our commercial building owners and businesses in Auckland, working to achieve the goal of giving you peace of mind that your property or business is being well looked-after.

LED lighting is increasingly recognised as the best option for commercial lighting both in Auckland and around the world.

At Northern Lights, we specialise in LED installation for business and commercial applications throughout Auckland. We can customise a solution to meet your requirements and budget.

WHY ARE LEDS BETTER?

An LED lighting installation for your business will bring you superior results in performance, functionality, and economy. Here’s why:

• LED bulbs are very efficient, converting 80-90% of the electricity used directly into light. This creates significant efficiencies for your business, reducing your power-related overheads and your carbon emissions. You will also recover the cost of installation over time.
• An LED lighting installation will last much longer than other options. Even compared to longer lasting traditional floodlight options such as halogen or metal halide lights, LEDs come out on top – a 20 watt LED can do the same job as an 80-watt halide or halogen bulb for a much longer time.
• LED lights are safer because they don’t heat up like other bulbs, which can get hot enough to burn skin or even kindle fires.
• LEDs look better – they spread light more evenly and over a wider area and the quality of light doesn’t change as they age. This makes them useful for business signage.

LED SECURITY AND AREA LIGHTING

As commercial electricians in Auckland, we always recommend LED as the best option for security lights and area floodlights. These lights will need to be reliable and have long lives. LEDs can last up to 10 years or more and are highly durable.

LED HIGH BAY LIGHTS

LEDs make an attractive, long-lasting and flexible solution for high bay lighting in warehouses.

OFFICE TROFFER LIGHTING

An LED lighting installation is perfect for any office, providing even and long-lasting light for your team.

EXIT SIGNS

An exit signage is generally on 24 hours a day and is important in emergency situations. LED lighting ensures your exit signs are fully compliant, outlasting traditional, halogen and fluorescent emergency light fittings.

Security/Area lighting is an important factor to consider in keeping your property well lit and secure during dark hours. Alongside other security measures, having your premises well lit at night is an effective way to deter potential thieves, vandals or others who think your property is unprotected.

Security lighting also helps to promote your business at night, ensuring that passers-by notice your business at all hours of the day or night.

Considerations when looking to install security/area lighting on your property can include the cost of maintenance, the cost of running the lighting through the night and which lighting options will suit your business the best. The Northern Lights team are experienced and knowledgeable and we will work with you to find the best solution for your business. Take a look below for some example questions that can help you on your way to deciding what kind of security lighting would suit you, and help you to take the steps to formulating a superior implementation plan.

• Does the lighting need to be on all night?
• How accessible is the light for maintenance?
• How many hours can I expect from the lamp?

With so many different lighting options available in today’s modern and environmentally-conscious world, the cost of running overnight security lighting is now much more affordable than it used to be. Options such as LED floodlights should be considered, as they are becoming very affordable and are already highly-efficient, allowing you to earn back your investment soon after installation.

EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS THAT HAVE HELPED CLIENTS TO FORMULATE SUPERIOR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS BY FORCING CONSIDERATION INCLUDE:

• Does the lighting need to be on all night?
•  How accessible is the light for maintenance?
• How many hours can I expect from the lamp?

There are many different lighting options available in today’s modern and environmentally friendly, energy efficient world. Options such as LED floodlights should be considered, as they are becoming very affordable and have a fast ‘payback’ period.

LED lighting is increasingly recognised as the best option for commercial lighting both in Auckland and around the world.

Surveying the streets of Auckland, you will see various signs and light boxes that are associated with and advertise businesses on streets and public spaces throughout the city. Auckland’s commercial streets are a showcase of a wide array of styles of such light boxes, however a large proportion of these are let down by being poorly lit, non or only partially operational and in need of varying degrees of repair.

Northern Lights Lighting and Electrical understands the value of your signage or light box. We know how important it is to your business and recognise the impact it can have – the equivalent of having a permanent full time sales person always drawing customers’ attention to your place of work.

Whereas old, broken or faulty signage can create a negative impression in the minds of passersby, a fully working and repaired sign or light box has the opposite effect. It can be a valuable tool in catching the attention of new customers and providing advertising for your business. Our electricians can give your old light box a rewire, get it functioning to full capacity again and turn it into a full time salesman of sorts, promoting your business at all hours of day or night.

Northern Lights Lighting and Electrical can repair the electrical wiring previously used and replace any old fluorescent lighting with brand new, modern and long life fluorescent lighting – with up to 50,000 hours of lamp life. This means that you can get your hardworking inanimate salesman firing away at full capacity for longer than ever, while also ensuring that your signage is as maintenance free as possible.

As new LED lighting becomes more readily available (and cheaper) our quality electricians are also able to investigate alternative methods with yourself in order to achieve the most optimal manner of sign lighting and in turn getting the most from your signage or light box.

Seeing as signage is the public ‘face’ of your business and sends an outward message to the world, isn’t it vital to get it working effectively and generating the interest and/or sales your business deserves?

We all understand how important it is to keep your electrical appliances in a safe working order. We all want our colleagues, our friends and family to be safe and secure when handling any of our electrical items. But how can we ensure safety?

Testing and tagging services both show that the appliance/ item has been thoroughly vetted and checked, and tagged as approved – meaning it is safe to use.

At Northern Lights Lighting and Electrical, we use the Seaward Primetest 300 system. This not only tests the appliance in question but also produces a tag to identify that the appliance has been tested and approved as safe. This system also creates a database of electrical appliances held by the customer, related serial codes and dates of prior and future testing requirements so that your future safety requirements are also identified at that time while also providing complete peace of mind to our valued customers.

This information, which is provided to our customers, can be stored and used as a log or inventory of the electrical equipment held and therefore also adds value to our client’s financial account production as they are better prepared for identification of owned assets and more able to accurately judge the asset value while also ensuring that their equipment is correctly working and safe to use.

This information, which is provided to our customers, can be stored and used as a log or inventory of the electrical equipment held and therefore also adds value to our client’s financial account production as they are better prepared for identification of owned assets as well as being able to judge more accurately the asset value as well as ensuring they are working and safe to use.
