Almost half aren\u2019t planning to switch to LED in next 12 months, despite upcoming halogen ban. British companies are failing to adequately prepare for the upcoming halogen light bulb ban in 2018, as 41 percent are choosing not to switch to the alternative LED lighting in the next 12 months. This is according to our new research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurdles when switching to LED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the research, conducted across 200 employees in the UK, many have revealed that their companies are still hesitant to switch to the more energy-efficient and long-term cost-effective option of LED lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest barriers to making the switch cited by participants include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s too expensive \u2013 24%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Concern over lighting temperature \u2013 18%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. They don\u2019t see the benefits of switching \u2013 12%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It\u2019s too much effort \u2013 12%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This highlights a lack of understanding of the benefits of LED lighting vs. conventional bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whilst LED lighting has historically been more expensive, technology advancements have made bulbs much more affordable. In addition, the long-term cost savings vastly outweigh the upfront costs. Companies need to start considering and installing alternate options to halogen bulbs before the ban comes into force,\u201c explains Holger Engelbrecht, our product manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cost savings are often underestimated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Of the companies that are currently using LED lighting (49 percent use LEDs in all office areas), 18 per cent of respondents believe they are saving 21-30 percent since switching from conventional lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of participants who are yet to use LEDs largely underestimate the savings that can be made, thinking that only 6-10 percent can be saved off their current bill. Some expect no savings at all. In fact, they consume 80 per cent less electricity than incandescent bulbs (Source: eon), drastically cutting electricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s important to get office lighting right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s widely known that lighting in the workplace can affect productivity, and is therefore extremely important to many employees. 64 percent say it is very important, across all age groups. As such, 89 percent of companies take action to ensure that lighting is suitable for their employees in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
