We understand that juggling your priorities with budget constraints and pressure from employees, stakeholders, and the government is no easy task. Luckily, there’s a simple solution that will help you satisfy all parties and create a safer, more efficient, more productive, and more sustainable facility. The answer is a connected LED lighting system that will serve as a platform that you can use to distribute smart technology throughout your facility. We share the top 8 reasons why companies put LED lighting, technology advancements, and ultimately growth on hold.
1) It’s not in the budget.
You can install an LED lighting upgrade with almost zero upfront costs. Many business owners and facility managers think a retrofit is financially out of reach, but our unique financing program can change that. Enjoy immediate savings on monthly energy bills, while paying off the retrofit through these savings. Learn more here.
2) It’s not the right time.
It’s always better to be a leader in your industry rather than struggle to keep up with the competition. Fluorescent and metal halide lighting are outdated and inefficient technologies. For the past decade, LEDs have proven to be the only choice in the commercial environment. By switching to LEDs now, your company will gain a competitive edge. Thrive Electrify can assist you with a multi-phase plan that is future-proof, allowing you to add capabilities when you’re ready. As a dependable and knowledgeable partner, we can guide and support you through your transition to an efficient, connected warehouse.
3) Our lights are working fine for now.
It’s only a matter of time before your lights completely fail or your type of gas lighting will be banned in Canada (learn more here). Lighting manufacturers are quickly phasing out the production of older lighting technology and replacement ballasts and lamps are increasingly becoming more expensive and harder to find. Be proactive, not reactive.
4) We don’t need a smart lighting system.
We are experts in our industry and connected lighting should be the only lights that warehouse facilities install. The minimal additional cost for this type of lighting is worth it as it provides ultimate control, maximizes energy savings, and can be easily scaled as your business needs evolve. Connected lighting allows for the collection and analysis of data that was previously unavailable, including energy usage, space occupancy, and light levels. This valuable data can inform strategic decisions that benefit both operations and employees, leading to increased profitability.
5) We don’t want to lose productivity by stopping operations.
Most of our clients never have to shut down operations. Thrive Electrify electricians will work with your company to schedule the installation at a time that minimizes disruption to operations, such as on weekends or during downtime. The installation process can be quick and easy, and the benefits of LED lighting outweigh any short-term productivity loss.
6) We can’t cash flow this large of an investment.
Positive cash flow can be achieved from day one with the help of incentives, grants, and financing. In fact, you can get started on the project with no upfront costs and minimal to no money down if you opt for financing. With Thrive Electrify’s expertise, maximum energy savings can be achieved, freeing up funds for future projects. Typically, ROI can be achieved within 2 to 4 years.
7) Since all LEDs are identical, we only require a more affordable lighting package.
Not all LEDs are created equal. Quality light fixtures and ultimate control are absolutely essential for a successful lighting retrofit. While a high-quality system may come with a slightly higher upfront cost, it offers the greatest energy savings and long-term cost-effectiveness. At Thrive Electrify, we prioritize lifetime installations that can last for over 30 years, achieved through careful planning and the selection of reliable products that can be easily scaled as our clients grow. We’ve heard & seen countless stories where clients are driven by the initial price and unknowingly purchase low-quality lights, not realizing that they will ultimately cost much more in the long run. This means increased maintenance costs and or having to replace lights sometimes within 1 – 2 years. With our help, you can develop a plan to finance a higher investment and achieve significant energy savings in the long term.
