The benefits of LED lights are well-known. Still, some self-storage operators are hesitant to make the switch. Planning your light retrofit and understanding your options can help ease the decision and transition.

    There’s no disputing that LEDs outlast and outperform other types of lighting. They save energy and help your pocketbook, which increases the overall return on investment. Some experts estimate that LED lighting consumes 80 percent less energy. As lighting accounts for 20 percent to 30 percent of global electricity use, making the switch to LED makes economic sense.
