For businesses, lighting eats up
15-30% of monthly electricity costs—and commercial LED panel lights vs. fluorescent bulbs are a battle of “short-term spend” vs. “long-term savings.” Let’s cut through the hype: How much
actual energy (and money) do LEDs save? And does JCLGL’s
LED panel collection deliver on efficiency?
A standard 2FTx2FT fluorescent troffer (like T8/T5) uses 32–40W but only hits 70–80 lumens per watt (lm/W). Worse: It loses ~20% brightness over time (so you’ll need to over-brighten to compensate).
That’s a 37.5% power cut for the same brightness!
Max lifespan? 10,000–15,000 hours (and that’s if you’re lucky—dimming or frequent on/off kills them faster). For a 10-hour/day office, they’ll die in ~4 years.
JCLGL’s panels boast 50,000+ hours (over 13 years at 10 hours/day). No frequent replacements = no:
- Labor costs to swap bulbs.
- Downtime (imagine shutting down an office to change 100+ lights!).
Fluorescent bulbs hate dimming—they flicker, lose efficiency, or even burn out. So most offices leave them at 100% brightness 24/7, wasting energy.
JCLGL’s LEDs? Dim them by 50% during off-peak hours, and you’ll:
- Slash energy use by up to 50% on top of baseline savings.
- Extend LED lifespan even more (dimming reduces heat stress).
Imagine a 500sqft office with 20 lights (2x2ft), running 10 hours/day, 365 days/year, at $0.15/kWh:
Electricity Cost
Cost Per Hour: $0.00
Cost Per Day: $0.00
Cost Per Month (30 days): $0.00
Cost Per Year: $0.00
kWh Per Day: 0.00
**Savings: $1,224 over 10 years**—and that’s before dimming! Add a 30% dimming schedule, and you’ll save an extra.
It’s not just about watts—JCLGL’s panels deliver:
-
Certified Safety: ETL/FCC/ROHS 认证 (no shortcuts on materials or wiring—critical for long-term efficiency).
For businesses, JCLGL’s LED panels aren’t just a “green choice”:
- Slash energy bills by 30–60% (with dimming).
- Avoid thousands in replacement costs.
- Boost employee comfort (no flickering, better dimming).
