by Rebecca Walker — September 27, 2010—With growing concerns about energy use, building professionals say efficient lighting has become a business priority and that increasingly they are turning to LEDs as a solution, a new survey found.
In the inaugural lighting survey conducted for Osram Sylvania, 81 percent of the 350 building and lighting professionals queried said they are more focused on energy efficiency. Seventy-three percent said they are already using or plan to use LED lighting in their commercial facilities.
Also, 76 percent said they consider it more important to have lighting that saves money over time, even if it costs more to purchase and install, according to the survey results.
The Osram Sylvania study indicates that while price is not dismissed, product benefits are now being given strong consideration when lighting changes are contemplated.
The full survey results are available from Osram Sylvania, at the Web site.
