LED Checkstand Lights: Efficiency & Savings

There are several reasons to consider LEDs for your store's signage, besides the cost and energy savings. Here's a rundown of what's special about LED (and, yes, some details on the aforementioned savings as well):

Energy Efficient More Energy Efficient
LEDs output more visible light per watt than other forms of lighting. And since they require less electricity to do so, you'll see a dramatic reduction in energy costs.

Longer Life Longer Life
LED bulbs can last up to 5 times longer than compact fluorescent bulbs, and 33 times longer than incandescent bulbs. While LEDs have a higher upfront cost, this longer life means you'll replace them less often, giving LED the edge when it comes to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

More Durable More Durable
Since LEDs don't use fragile components such as glass and filaments, they are able to withstand shock, vibration and extreme temperatures.

Environmentally Friendly Environmentally Friendly
LEDs are made from non toxic materials, and are also recyclable.

That said, what kind of savings can you really expect to see by switching your incandescent or fluorescent-based lighted fixtures to a Moon LED-based solution? See below:
