Upgrading your home, business, or retail environment from halogen or fluorescent lighting to LED lighting is one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency and lighting performance. At Display Lighting, we specialise in modern LED strip lights, neon flex, and profile systems that deliver exceptional brightness, flexibility, and style for every space.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
One of the biggest advantages of LED lighting is its energy efficiency. Traditional halogen and fluorescent fittings consume large amounts of power, often five to ten times more than LEDs. By contrast, quality LED strip lights typically use just 7-10 watts per metre while producing the same or better illumination.
LEDs can cut your lighting energy use by up to 75%, meaning lower electricity bills without sacrificing quality. Over time, those savings add up, especially in spaces that need lighting for long hours, like retail stores, hospitality areas, and display cabinets.
Long Lifespan, Less Maintenance
LED technology is designed for endurance. While older bulbs often need replacing after just 2,000 hours, premium LED products can last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours or more. That’s years of consistent performance with little to no maintenance.
At Display Lighting, our LED strip and neon flex systems are built with high-quality diodes and materials to ensure reliability even in demanding environments. This longevity not only saves time but also reduces waste and replacement costs over the long term.
Better Lighting Quality and More Options
Modern LED lighting offers efficiency and delivers design freedom. You can choose from warm, neutral, or cool colour temperatures, create accent lighting with RGB and RGBW options, or use neon flex for seamless, continuous illumination.
For retail or hospitality spaces, the right colour temperature enhances ambience and highlights key products. In homes, LED strips and profiles can be used under cabinetry, along stairways, or in feature ceilings to add modern character and brightness.
Display Lighting’s range includes LED profiles that diffuse light evenly and prevent glare, giving any space a clean, professional finish.
Reduced Heat and Improved Safety
Older halogen systems produce significant heat, which can raise room temperatures and pose safety risks. LEDs, on the other hand, stay cool to the touch, despite hours of use. This makes them ideal for enclosed areas such as cabinets, displays, and refrigeration units.
Display Lighting’s Ecofresh LED Bars, for instance, are specially designed for chilled or temperature-sensitive applications, offering both safety and efficiency.
Environmental Benefits
Switching to LED lighting isn’t just cost-effective, but it’s environmentally responsible. LEDs contain no toxic materials like mercury or tungsten and have a much smaller carbon footprint due to their lower energy consumption.
By replacing halogen or fluorescent lighting with LED strip lights or neon flex, you’ll reduce your power use and contribute to a more sustainable future. Across New Zealand and internationally, traditional inefficient lighting is being phased out in favour of LEDs for precisely these reasons.
Making the Change is Easy
Converting to LED lighting is simpler than you might think. Many spaces can be upgraded without major rewiring. Just replace old fittings or integrate new linear LED systems into your existing design.
If you’re not sure where to start, our Display Lighting team can help with product recommendations, layout advice, and design planning. We’ll match your space with the right profile type, light temperature, and control system to ensure perfect results.
