Benefits of Upgrading Shop Lights With LED Lights Under VEET?


Victorian Government’s initiative to promote energy saving alongside benefiting the environment has come a long way since inception in 2009. The scheme has made energy efficiency more affordable with subsidized plans and allowed commercial establishments like mine to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase employment in industries supplying greener high bays and LED lights under VEET scheme, which is now VEU.

From a New Commercial LED User


I run a shoes and accessories brick and mortar outlet in the Shire of Money. I had been paying over a AUS$1000 in electricity bills before I came across a friend who acquainted me with the benefits and support the Victorian Government was providing for commercial establishments to reduce their carbon footprint and save on power bills with LED lights under VEET.
It was matter of time before I got in touch with a local installation company that conducted my shop survey and provided with a subsidized estimate of what the entire overhaul of the lights would cost (it included LED lights for both the indoors and the outdoors).

In a week’s time after my go head, an A grade electrician had changed all the lights of the shop with LEDs – the globes and bulbs were all gone.

Since, I have realized, the LED are cost effective and energy efficient alternative to tradition shop lighting. My bills have reduced by up to 60 percent (there is no change in consumption) and interestingly, the lights are now VEET approved and I’m a responsible citizen.

LED outdoor flood light was installed along with the bulbs indoors. The light is much brighter, has a wider throw area yet it offers substantial cost saving since it reduces energy usage. The LED flood light under VEET has a longer life span which I’m guessing would mean lesser need for maintenance and replacement.

I’m enjoying the benefits of having switched to LED lights under VEET, though it’s still too early on my part, but I would recommend everyone to make the switch and save on their bills.

Commercial LED Lighting: What Are The Benefits?


Property owners and managers put a lot of efforts and value in making their premises beautiful. No secret that creating a cool ambiance doesn’t come cheap. This is where commercial led lighting comes into play. Traditional lights (halogen and metal halides) put a huge load on power bills, which can be reduced by over 80% by simply switching to LED lights. The Victorian government is encouraging residential as well as commercial setups across the state to make the switch under the VEU rebate scheme and reduce energy costs by big margins.

Facilities covered under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program include:

  • Warehouses
  • Industries/Manufacturing units
  • Offices
  • Retail stores
  • Undercover car park
  • Aged care
  • Hotels and restaurants

When looking for commercial LED lighting upgrade, always look for options that reduce energy and maintenance costs while adding aesthetic value that increases productivity.

At TIMETOSAVE, we provide lighting solutions that help reduce energy costs and impact on the environment. We make this possible upgrading conventional, energy consuming lights to energy-efficient LED lights under the VEU government program.

Why?
Because keeping operation costs low is crucial for any business. When we say powering a commercial setup, it can be as big as thousands of dollars on energy bills. Hence, over 80% reduction in power bills is like bringing your energy costs from thousands to down a few hundred dollars.

Hence, the simple step in this direction is to work smart with the energy usage and turn it into savings by switching to energy-efficient LED lighting through the right energy partner.

Advantages of commercial LED lighting upgrade:

  • Energy efficiency
  • Extended life
  • Cold temperature operation
  • Durability
  • Instant on
  • Better controllability
  • No IR or UV emissions
  • Colour without compromise
At TIMETOSAVE, we give our customers the power to select the right type of lights by providing a variety of brands to choose from. For example, you want old high bays replaced with the LED ones, we have more 10 brands to choose from. We offer full flexibility to let you make your choice and energy solutions that are best for you.

Warehouse lights are known to be the most energy consuming lights as each high bay uses a 400W mercury vapour or metal halide bulb. We replace 400W bulb with a 90W, 100W, 120W or 150W bulb, depending on the lumen requirement of your business, meaning energy savings per bulb is as high as 25%.

LED Lighting Upgrade Australia: Make The Switch Today


Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has totally changed the global lighting market over the past decade. In Australia, a great number of home owners, non-profit and business organizations are currently choosing LED lighting options over different alternatives.

In some states, the government is even providing partial and complete financial support for LED upgrades to residential and commercial premises.  Victoria is a fair example of the same.
What a great initiative by the Australian government to reduce total energy consumption and minimize impact on the environment.  If you are aware, Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) is currently known as Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU).


The scheme is being propagated by the Australian government across the country by different names to reduce carbon footprint by 65% by 2030. With the help of best electrical contractors, the government is successful to promote energy efficient technology and practices to save environment in the country.

Why is it important to consider LED lighting upgrade?


Proficient, Harmless and easy on the environment

Embracing LED lighting solutions and capabilities can lead to substantial savings on energy costs and building a sustainable atmosphere. When compared to traditional halogen, fluorescent and incandescent options, LED lights consume 50-70% less energy, thereby resulting in substantial savings in terms of energy costs and carbon emission.


LEDs lights are water resistant which makes them a perfect fit for areas like food processing units where water is used. They perform well in extreme temperature conditions (-30 to 50 degrees Celsius), thus making them safe and suitable for cold storage as well as metal foundries.
LEDs contain no mercury and use less energy to produce the same light output as other light alternatives, which reduce their impact on the environment.
