Through life costing. What does this mean for LED’s given the drive in the retail to constantly reduce costs?

Yes well cost is the significant driver for lighting in most retail environments but I prefer to use the term value, cost to me is not just about the initial capital outlet, it is actually the cost of running that fixture through its lifetime. So we should always bear in mind when we make our purchasing decisions, what amount of energy does that solution use throughout its active lifetime and how often we have to maintain that solution. It’s only when you compare those together with the sustainability elements at the back end of that we can then make an informed choice. It really isn't just about capital outlay.

What do you think to this ?
