There was a time when the main thing you noticed about
pretty much any city centre anywhere was the fact that everywhere you looked,
you saw commercial neon lighting. Toronto, and most other cities, have come a
long way since then, and leaps in business lighting technology (particularly
LED lighting strips) have given business owners looking for unique lighting
options much more flexibility and greatly expanded the realm of possibilities.
From multicoloured exterior displays to tasteful interior accent lighting,
energy-efficient, flexible, safe and sleek LED strip lighting can transform any
business into a space that will turn first-time customers into repeat business
by creating a unique atmosphere they won’t find anywhere else.
Lighting for all
occasions
Depending on what line of business you’re in, your custom
commercial lighting needs will vary. A bar will need something different from a
fancy restaurant or a retail outlet or a physiotherapist’s clinic. Even within
one business, sometimes you need different things. Maybe you’re a sports bar
who wants to dim some lights for a big game without leaving everyone in the dark, or you’re the
owner of a clothing store and you’d really like to be able to change up the
colour of your accent lighting to either keep things fresh or to match seasonal
sales or the latest colour trend in your inventory. Whatever your needs,
programmable LED lighting is the way to go. With older business light systems,
you’d have to keep a selection of gels and filters handy but safe for when you
eventually wanted to cover your generic lights to try to have a different
effect produced. With newer LED systems, all it takes is the push of a button
and a virtually unlimited number of patterns and colours are instantly at your
disposal.
Safe And Efficient
There are loads of great reasons to switch to LED lighting
for your business, either for exterior or interior use. Not only do you get
virtually limitless flexibility in terms of colour, placement and patterns, but
you are also making a great choice for sustainability, energy-efficiency and
safety. Neon and Fluorescent lights are made with gases that can be risky under
the wrong conditions, and the fragile glass tubes they’re usually made from can
break and leave a dangerous mess behind. Incandescent lights waste a lot of the
power they use generating heat rather than light, which both racks up your
power bill and also means there are places you just can’t use them safely. A
tight, confined space, even around material that would otherwise be damaged (or
worse – be a fire hazard) around old fashioned lights are perfect spots to take
advantage of the low heat and small size of LED lights.
No matter what your business needs are, there’s no reason to
resort to go full-on old-school and install commercial neon lighting. Toronto
businesses of all types and sizes can benefit from the modern, efficient and
customizable options provided by LED lighting.
