Any room, area, facility, or outdoors space you need to illuminate should be done so with quality lighting. The benefits of quality lights far surpass going cheap on your lighting fixtures just to save a few dollars. The importance of quality such as metal halide have a rather short lifespan compared to it’s competing technology, LED. LED gymnasium lights, and just LED lighting in general, prove to have a much longer lifespan. This lifespan can be 2-3 and sometimes even 4 times longer than other light sources such as metal halide.

This can allow for less frequent purchasing of new lights to replace old and burnt out ones, which will allow you to better realize a better ROI by investing in LED over metal halide or other similar technologies. This also indirectly reduces your maintenance costs by lowering the amount of time you have to pay someone to switch out burnt out bulbs. This can allow you to reduce your maintenance costs related to your lighting for gym areas by 2-3 times, which will just add on to the benefits that LED can bring to your facility.

While saving money through lighting efficiency, longer life spans, and less maintenance costs is great; it shouldn’t be achieved while decreasing the quality of light produced in your facility by your lighting system. Luckily, LED products allow for proper lighting in a wide range of applications, even your gymnasium. This allows you to create exceptionally safe areas that will keep visitors aware of all there surroundings.

Did you know that LED lights that are efficient called the DLC (DesignLights Consortium). This is an organization that qualifies commercial lighting products based on it’s quality and efficiency. There are both standard and premium qualifications, and premium typically yields higher rebates and thus higher ROI over standard qualified products. Although both are still good and are always recommended for any industrial lighting purchase because being qualified is better than not at all. Without being qualified, we recommend you stay far away from any light that isn’t DLC qualified for various reasons including it not being verified to be a “good” product.

If it isn’t clear by now, the answer is obvious. LED can, will, and should be bringing your gymnasium area all of the benefits that the technology offers.

From efficient, to quality and rebates; there is almost no reason why you should choose other gym lighting technologies over LED gym lights.

More importantly regarding safety of all visitors; LEDs will ensure your areas are properly illuminated with a wealthy amount of light, and won’t be under lit. Also since LEDs will never buzz nor flicker, you will never face that annoying issue that other technologies will do, not even near the end of it’s lifespan. And as you know, buzzing or flickering lights can cause annoyance and less focus, which is never good for a gymnasium environment.

Conclusion

There you have it, what quality LED lights can and will do for your gym. LEDs are also a great option for all of your other lighting needs, such as school rooms, hallways, write in to one of our professionals for some answers.
