Assurance Electrical Services discusses HID vs. LED parking lot lights at your Prescott business

Assurance Electrical Services can install LED parking lot lights at your Prescott business to improve safety and reduce energy costs
In the past, high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures have been the institution for lighting outside parking areas. More recently, LED have emerged and have become highly developed and efficient for parking lot illumination. LED stands for "light emitting diode." A diode is a component with two terminals which conduct electricity only in one direction. The diode emits a bright light around the small bulb. Assurance Electrical Services compares HID vs. LED parking lot lights at your Prescott business.

Product costs
  • LED fixtures require a greater initial investment than HID Lighting. The question then becomes: Are there any financial benefits to going with LED lighting?

Life span
  • LED fixtures can typically last 50,000 hours or more. This is approximately three times longer than HID bulbs. 
  • While LED fixtures require a greater initial investment, they make up the cost difference in lifespan.

Maintenance costs
  • The only maintenance LED fixtures require is periodic cleaning. 
  • HID fixtures require periodic maintenance since they contain multiple components that need regular inspection and replacement.

Energy costs
  • LED fixtures consume up to 80 percent less power than HID fixtures.
  • Although LED fixtures require a greater initial investment, they more than compensate for this because of the difference in energy savings.
  • LED parking lot lights save a huge amount of money in monthly electric costs.
  • The energy consumption of LED parking lot illumination is less than half of what HID fixtures consume.

Assurance Electrical Services hopes this comparison of HID vs. LED parking lot lighting at your Prescott business gives you some food for thought.
