Some high end fashion stores were the earliest adopters of LED lighting systems for jewellery and watch displays, LED lighting have not been widely adopted in the high street.
Most retail outlets need to recoupe fit-out costs in 2 years or less, because stores might be relocated, or refurbished with a new image after relatively short periods of operation.
This has meant that energy wasting Halogen lamps and track spotlights remain prevalent in High street retail stores, being cheap to buy and quick to install.
Until now... this is about to change as prices of manufacturing LEDs lower meaning that we can now offer LED AR111 retrofit lamps and LED track lights and LED spot lights at a lower cost and light outputs have increased to equal the ubiquitous 50 Watt Halogen lamp.
LED AR111 lamps use 12 Watts producing 650 lumens and 15 Watt LED track lights with 800 lumens designed and supplied by Exled can pay for themselves in energy savings and bulb costs alone, based on 10 hours use per day within 2 years. While some lighting suppliers are still charging premium prices for these items, they seem to be missing the economic reality of the need to short term cost recovery.
Factor in a 2 year guarantee and 5 year plus life expectancy and suddenly LED AR111 lamps and LED track lights make sound sense in a typical high street retail outlet.
