Benefits of LED Lighting

Brits are replacing their old fluorescent lights with trendy LED lighting as it offers them the following benefits;

Greater Energy Efficiency

LED lights are revolutionary as they minimize energy consumption for consumers. They convert 70% of the energy into light and reduce the energy lost in heat form. It makes them a better energy-saving option.

Long lifespan

LED lights have a longer lifespan as compared to ordinary lights. They generate less heat and are made up of durable materials preventing the early burn out of them. .

Sustainable Conventional Compact

fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs are hazardous to the environment as they produce excess heat contributing to CO2 emission in the atmosphere. LED lights produce less heat and consume less energy giving us major environmental benefits. .

Low Maintenance Cost

LED lights are low-maintenance as they can survive shocks and vibrations, unlike filaments of ordinary lights which are prone to easy damage.LED lights don’t have any such fragile parts, making it a long-term solution which requires less frequent replacement.

Jackson Electrical were able to repair my electric shower; initially they thought the whole unit might need replacing but after checking the model informed me that just a part would need replacing which saved us a fair amount of money. Took a while to get the specific part so we couldn't use the shower for just over a week, but given current Covid/Brexit supply chain issues I can't fault them for this. Once the part came through the repair took less than 30 mins and now our shower works perfectly!

Have been using Jackson's Electrical Services for many years, and will use them again in the near future. Excellent standard of work every time. They have recently fitted security lighting to the front and rear of our property, and also provided power to a shed in the garden. Other work has included the fitting of electric showers.
