This document discusses how switching to LED lighting can significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs for commercial businesses and facilities like hotels. It notes that commercial properties on average spend $2.29 per square foot annually on energy, with lighting accounting for 38% of electricity usage. LED bulbs last 50,000 hours on average compared to 1,000 hours for incandescent, and need replacing only once where conventional bulbs need replacing 50 times. This large reduction in replacement costs and labor can offset the higher upfront costs of LEDs and result in 20-50% savings on electric bills and tens of thousands in maintenance savings annually for large properties.
