Three bright reasons to invest in new lighting

Although the cost of incandescent bulbs is typically lower than LEDs, fleets typically find that they can retrofit their vehicles and trailers for less than $10 a light. And those LEDs offer both short- and long-term benefits over incandescent bulbs.

Here’s why:

1. They last longer. In general, LED bulbs made for heavy-duty trucks are built to last. That’s especially true for Road Choice® LED light solutions, which last up to 50 times longer than incandescent options on the market.

2. They use less energy. In your home, LED lights use less electricity, which helps you save money on your power bill. On trucks, they drain less power from the vehicle’s batteries, which means that more power is available for other uses. And because they draw less power, LED lights can also help extend battery life.

3. They can help you steer clear of “lights out” violations. While defective lighting should easily be identified during pre- and post-trip inspections, it’s not a fool-proof way to prevent light-related CSA violations and fines. In 2017, more than 177,000 CSA violations were issued for defective lighting, no lighting and no reflective devices. That number doesn’t even include headlights, brake lights or tail lights. With new lights, and especially longer-lasting LEDs, you’re less likely to get surprised and cited for a defective light.

Here’s one more benefit of investing in LED lighting – they project a brighter light, which can make vehicles more visible on the highway or jobsite. In addition, the wavelength at which LEDs produce light is within the melatonin suppression zone, which may help reduce drowsiness for drivers.
