Are you a small business owner looking to implement some cost-cutting measures? Using smart lighting and maintenance solutions is a great way to save on your electricity costs, as well as increase the energy efficiency of your business.
Check out these tips to cut lighting costs for your small business.
Save on Lighting Costs
Turn the Lights Off with Motion Sensor Switches
You’ve heard it since you were a kid. Turn the lights off when you leave a room! This is a simple and easy way to cut lighting costs. If energy isn’t being used, then you’re not paying for it. Motion sensor switches make this effortless by automatically turning lights off when no motion is detected in a room for a preset time. They’re an affordable, set-it-and-forget-it solution for eliminating wasted lighting energy.
Use Lights Sparingly
Try to get as much natural light into your space as possible. This way you can take advantage of sunlight during the day, which you don’t have to pay for! Consider installing skylights or light tubes to bring free daylight into interior rooms. Tinting windows can also help manage heat gain while still allowing ample daylight inside.

Upgrade to Energy Efficient LED Bulbs
Are you still using incandescent bulbs? Consider upgrading to a more energy efficient light source. LED bulbs last 25 times as long as incandescent bulbs and cost 75% less to operate. Now those are numbers that make sense for a small business. Always look for products with an Energy Star logo to ensure top efficiency.
Upgrading Fluorescent Tubes to LED
If you’re using fluorescent tubes in your space, you may want to upgrade to LED T8 tubes. These are more energy efficient than fluorescent T8 tubes with magnetic ballasts. LEDs also produce less heat, reducing cooling costs. Their diameter is the same, allowing them to fit in existing fluorescent fixtures for an easy upgrade.
Install Occupancy Sensors
Occupancy sensors trigger lights to turn on when someone enters the room and trigger them to turn off when they haven’t detected any movement in a room for a preset period of time. This lighting and maintenance solution is ideal because it means the lights will only be in use when you need them to be. Occupancy sensors are perfect for less frequently used areas like storage rooms, restrooms, and conference rooms.
Use Timers and Photocells for Exterior Lighting
Installing timers and photocells ensures your outdoor lights only operate when needed at night. Photocells detect ambient light levels to switch lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Timers allow you to specifically schedule when outdoor lights turn on and off. Using these controls eliminates wasted energy from lights being left on unnecessarily during the day.

Implement Task Lighting
Instead of relying on overhead lights to illuminate an entire room, use task lighting to provide focused light where it’s needed most for specific tasks and workspaces. This allows you to reduce overhead lighting levels and save energy. LED desk lamps are an efficient option for task lighting in offices and workstations.
New Exit Signs
Energy Star-certified exit signs are more efficient and can save you up to $10 per sign annually. Moreover, they cut greenhouse gas emissions by 500 pounds each year.
Modern Solutions for Enhanced Efficiency
Smart Lighting Systems
Consider integrating smart lighting systems that allow you to control your lighting remotely via smartphones or computers. These systems can be programmed to adjust lighting based on occupancy, time of day, or even natural light levels, ensuring optimal efficiency.
Renewable Energy Sources
Explore renewable energy options, such as solar panels, to power your lighting. Initial investments may be high, but the long-term savings and environmental benefits are substantial. Solar energy can drastically reduce or even eliminate your electricity bills.
