New construction projects can be some of the most interesting when it comes to lighting plans and implementation of new technologies. With roughly 4 billion light bulbs in the US that need to be upgraded to LED today, planing new construction projects with LEDs saves time, money and energy from the very beginning. LEDs are no longer the “way of the future” and in fact they are so readily available that LED lighting in new construction is becoming the standard practice.

As LED products continue evolving, building efficiency codes continue to tightening, and planning LED lights in new construction projects save the headache of changing something already in place. Those reasons along with the reduced energy demand
and continued cost/maintenance savings are why more and more owners and general contractors are choosing LEDs.

HESCO is here to show you how we help solve the LED lighting challenge, before, during, and after construction.

Once the floor plan has been finalized a fixture list can be furnished and the project can move into the procurement phase where among other things, lights are purchased. If conventional lights are being used then it should be an easy to implement LEDs because there are only two real steps in this process. With conventional lights there is very little differentiation from brand to brand of halogen or fluorescent lights and since they burn out so rapidly that the initial procurement decision doesn’t have the projected long-term impact it could. On the opposite end of the spectrum LED manufacturers number in the hundreds and their products have wildly different capabilities ranging from light quality, reliability, dimmability, and so on.

HESCO specializes in this behind-the-scenes step that creates a valued partnership in new construction projects. Ensuring that there is the correct amount of lights in each space can make them a joy to spend time in, while mismatched lighting can make even the finest construction project look cheap. As professionals in choosing the best lights we take pride in implementing LED’s in a variety of environments to serve our customers unique needs.

If for some reason things don’t  look correct HESCO works with the construction team to make changes that ensure the vision for the project comes through bright and clear – while most lighting distributors and partners do not offer that in our experience.
