Efficient Indoor LED Lighting Strategies When Lots of Space Requires Lots of Light

Whether you’re a contractor building a new property, a business or property manager, or a homeowner, the cost- and energy-efficient illumination of large spaces indoors can be a tricky proposition. In addition to the variety of lighting fixtures, styles, and applications, there are a handful of lighting technologies to choose between. Fortunately, regarding the best technology, the choice is simple.
LED lighting is far more efficient, less expensive to run, hardier, far longer lasting, and generally greener than all of the other existing lighting methods. And LED technology has advanced sufficiently as lighting options range from single LED tubes and bulbs to entire stand-alone lighting fixtures. As for which LED fixtures will work best for specific indoor lighting situations, hopefully the following suggestions can help shed some light on the matter.

Replacing Fluorescent Lighting

When first introduced, fluorescents offered a distinct efficiency and lifespan advantage over their predecessors. However, their light tends to be “cold,” fluorescents can take a while to warm up to full lighting, and they’re prone to flickering. By comparison, LED tube lighting is warmer, far more efficient, and lasts considerably longer. LED tubes and bulbs also light up instantly, don’t flicker, and use less energy to provide better light. Additionally, if the troffers are already in place, switching over to compatible LED tubes is an easy way to get much better light—and lots of it.

Shed or Outbuilding Lighting

There are a number of good options for producing a lot of light to cover a lot of space that’s used for utilitarian functions rather than entertaining. And for sheds and outbuildings, it’s likely that there’s not existing or sufficient lighting infrastructure (like fluorescent troffers) to which LED lights can be added. In these instances, shop lights are an efficient way to illuminate a work space, storage area, or otherwise light up an outbuilding. Additionally, LED shop lights are often linkable, providing the opportunity to spread a “daisy chain” of linked LED shop lights over a considerable area.

Bay Lighting

For shining a whole lot of light into a warehouse, workspace, or industrial setting, bay lights are hard to beat. Optimal for high-ceilinged workspaces, bay lights are high-output fixtures that produce thousands of lumens to ensure that a lot of real estate is provided with a great deal of bright, uniform lighting. LED bay lights, like every other type of LED light, are going to cost less to run, be sturdier to handle, and will last far longer than alternatives. For powerful bay lighting in a space where heavier bay light installation is impractical, consider finding a good LED UFO bay light.

Downlighting

For the illumination of large kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and any other sizable living space (barring a very industrial taste in interior design), bay lighting and daisy-chained shop lights are not going to be the best solution. Living space luminosity is far better served by the LED downlight. LED downlights are smaller, generally recessed fixtures that provide the terrific light and lifespan, as well as the energy and monetary savings, of the other LED lighting options mentioned here, but are usually installed in an unobtrusive recessed seating five or six inches across. They are a classy and technologically superior way to provide your home with the light it deserves.
