Now more than ever, businesses need to work smarter to ensure they are reducing costs where they can, to avoid passing on unwanted rate rises to customers. One easy solution OEX recommends is switching to LED lighting as it can be an extremely cost-effective and a power-efficient solution. While many operators use halide or halogen lights, there are more costs and downtime involved in their use.
LEDs are far more efficient than halogen bulbs. While halogens generate a large amount of heat, the amount of heat created with LEDs is far smaller, helping save energy. LEDs tend to last much longer and are a more energy-efficient and less maintenance-intensive technology.
Metal halides have long warm-up periods and a shorter lifespan. LEDs also emit a light that is whiter and brighter than most halogen options and provide up to 50,000 hours of life.

If operated for 60 hours per week, this equates to up to 16 years maintenance-free life for a single purchase. The OEX 200W High Bay Workshop Light is a simple plug-in replacement for 240V halogen or halide high bay lights. It delivers energy-efficient, crisp white LED lighting to the workshop while reducing energy consumption and lowering your electricity bill. The OEX High Bay light is a no-maintenance lighting solution.
There is no need to replace globes or spare parts, and the robust die-cast aluminium housing is sealed to a weatherproof IP65 rating. OEX High Bay lights provide a massive light output of 28,700 lumens, enough to illuminate a workshop or warehouse up to 15m high. Because they are much brighter than halide lights, less lights are required to fill a workshop space.
The OEX lights plug in to a standard 240V mains socket and come with an IP65 weatherproof rating – water-resistant and suitable for outdoor use with full protection against dust ingress.
They offer a bright white 5,700K colour temperature, and come in a die-cast aluminium body for heat dissipation. They are also backed by a five-year warranty.
The complete OEX range is well stocked in both NAPA Auto Parts and Repco stores, so accessibility to the energy efficient range is convenient and local.
