Why Make The Switch?

Reduced power consumption…

Switching to LED lighting heavily reduces overall power consumption, in comparison to common forms of lighting, such as metal halide, halogen and fluorescent. An example of this, is a standard High Bay metal halide globe, rated at 400W, compared to an LED High Bay, rated at 150W. The LED light not only provides a much higher quality light output, but also brings with it significantly reduced power consumption (250W per fitting).

Reduced operating costs…

Substantial cost savings go hand in hand with reduced power consumption, which is another huge plus of making the switch to LED. As an example, by replacing 100 x 400W metal halide High Bay lights, with 150W LED High Bays, a business running their lights 10 hours per day / 7 days a week, would save approximately $21,000.00 per annum, applying an industry average power rate of $0.25 kW/h.

Reduced ongoing maintenance costs…

A key driver for making the switch to LED lighting, is the reduced ongoing maintenance costs they bring with them. The lifespan of LED lights can be anywhere from 3 -10x time longer than other common light sources, and especially in commercial applications, with large quantities of light fittings, this a huge advantage. An example of this, is the comparison of LED tube lights to standard fluorescent lights, with their lifespan being approximately 5x longer. Reducing maintenance requirements also results in less disruption to business, bringing about even greater savings.

Environmentally friendly…

Reducing power consumption also reduces carbon emissions, by switching to LED the carbon footprint of any household or business can be significantly reduced, which is also a key benefit of making the switch to LED.

LED Lighting Technology

LED technology is a fast moving industry, and at Southern LED Solutions, we use only the most advanced LED chip

technology on the market in our products.

San’an, who produce the LED chips used in our downlights, tube lights, panel lights and shoplights as an example, are

regarded as a “Leading LED Enterprise” and invest heavily in R&D to continually provide the latest cutting edge

technology to the market.

Philips, regarded as a world leader in the phosphors industry, produce the LUXEON M LED chips used in our High Bay light fittings, which deliver high flux density with tight correlated colour temperature control. These LED’s are perfect forindoor and outdoor commercial and industrial applications, which are driven towards high efficiency and low cost.

Southern LED Solutions continually works closely with it’s manufacturer, to deliver and produce the highest quality products at the right price, ensuring clients achieve maximum benefit from switching to LED lighting.

We are also highly motivated to deliver products to the market which our clients desire. In order to do this, we constantly seek feedback from our clients regarding products they want to see available. By doing this, we not only build strong client relationships, but also ensure that the products we supply meet and exceed client expectations.

All our LED lighting products are SAA certified where applicable, and approved to be sold within Australia & New Zealand, along with the rest of the world. We also provide a minimum 3 year warranty on all of our products from time of purchase, and are always on hand to answer any of our clients general and technical queries.

Potential Cost Savings

www.southernledsolutions.com.au 7

Reducing overall power consumption, and subsequently reducing operating costs, is a key driver for switching to LED lighting. The below example outlines the potential costs savings over monthly and yearly periods in a commercial application, which could be achieved by replacing existing 400W metal halide High Bay light fittings, with Southern LED Solutions’ 150W LED High Bay light fittings.

This potential savings example is based on the lights themselves, and doesn’t take in to account additional savings which can be achieved as a result of switching to LED lighting, such as lower operating costs for air-conditioning. The electricity rate used is an approximate average based on our industry experience and previous projects.

Return on Investment (ROI)

www.southernledsolutions.com.au 8

At Southern LED Solutions we understand that LED lighting changeovers can be a significant investment, so it’s important to see how that investment will work for you financially. The below example outlines the potential return on investment (ROI) for a commercial LED lighting solution. In reality the ROI is likely to be lower, as the LED lighting installation will also reduce the running cost other equipment, such as air-conditioning, as previously mentioned. We believe that any return on investment below 4 years is excellent, and we aim to have our solutions providing an ROI around 2 - 3 years.

We can also estimate the cost of maintaining existing lighting installations over their

lifespan, as reducing maintenance costs is also a key driver for switching to LED, and an important factor to include in any return on investment scenario.

Cash flow is extremely important for every household and business, and at Southern LED Solutions we understand this. When it comes to converting to LED lighting, it can be a significant investment as previously mentioned. To support this fact, Southern LED Solutions work in conjunction with Barrel Finance & Logistics, to provide affordable payment plans which make the investment a more viable option. This option is aimed at ensuring our clients, start reaping the significant energy & savings benefits that come with LED lighting, sooner rather than later.

The advantages of the finance option we provide are:

• No assets required as security

• No financials required

Energy Audits

With power prices continuing to rise (Australian prices have doubled from 2004 - 2014), we believe that understanding your current electrical installation is important, so you know where your money is being spent and how you can subsequently cut costs.

At Southern LED Solutions we can carry out energy audits across any domestic, commercial or Industrial installation to show our clients their current energy consumption, and thus total cost of their existing electrical installation, so they can see where their money is being spent.

Power consumption can be measured across various individual circuit types (power and/or lighting) to give the most accurate breakdown of energy consumption.

The example to the right tracked power consumption for multiple lighting circuits over a 2 month sample period (1 month pre LED and 1 month Post LED), with varying types of LED fittings replacing existing Non-LED fittings.

A kW cost rate of $0.25 was applied, and the end result showed a projected annual savings of $19,205.55. For this particular installation the return on investment (ROI) was approximately 2.5 years.

FluoroCycle

www.southernledsolutions.com.au 12

Southern LED Solutions is extremely committed to protecting the environment throughout all the projects it’s involved in. We are listed advocates for the FluoroCycle scheme, and active in raising awareness about it’s environmental benefits.

We encourage all our clients to utilise the scheme, when carrying out LED changeovers that produce waste, such as fluoro tubes and metal halide lamps, which is a candidate for FluoroCycle disposal. As a company, we can take of all the details for arranging the disposal (including seeking quotations from registered scheme collectors) of mercury waste, on behalf of our clients, giving them peace of mind that they too are contributing to protecting our environment.

‘FluoroCycle is a voluntary product stewardship scheme that seeks to increase the national recycling rate of waste mercury-containing lamps. Lamp recycling can help reduce the amount of mercury sent to landfill. The scheme targets the commercial and industrial sectors where the bulk of waste lamps are generated.’

More detailed fact sheets regarding the scheme can be found by following the below link or clicking on the logos.
