Necessity has always and will be the mother of any invention. Ever since civilization began evolving, there has always been a constant exploration for alternate sources of energy to utilize it at its fullest ability and meet the ever growing demands. This exploration also does not shy away from going back to the nature which has always been the safer and cheaper option.

Light Emitting Diodes

Light Emitting Diodes or popularly known as LED lights is one of the invention that has been beneficial for every kind of residential, industrial and commercial lighting purposes. LEDs are semi-conductor light source that works by electrons which recombine with holes within the device emitting energy in the form of photons. The application of LED lights is wide and can be used as diverse as aviation, automotive, advertising, advanced communication technology and also other appliances such as television, DVDs and so on.

Benefits of Using LED Lights

They are a good source of energy to reduce the electricity consumption costs as low as 50-70%. This is quite advantageous in the case of businesses which involve high potential of lighting like industries and for commercial purposes like lights in parking areas, street lights and such like. The lighting is also cooler than the rest of the traditionally used lighting systems.

The LED Lighting Rebates

One of the major impediments to the application of led lights in industries and commercial purposes is due to the humungous cost of installing and the elongated time period of return on investment. Perhaps, due to the realization of the aforementioned benefits and also considering the drawbacks, there are many governments who are strategizing subsidies and LED lighting rebates to encourage and tap this source of energy.

With the introduction of two powerful schemes namely Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Scheme (VEET) and New South Wales Energy Saving Schemes (ESS), the government of Australia has encouraged the application of the alternate energy.

It is under the VEET scheme that the LED Lighting Melbourne companies are accredited with Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEEC) that helps them in offering benefits like discount to energy consumers. The certificates are obtained after a stringent scrutiny by the Essential Services commission and continual analysis even after obtaining it. With the recent update on the scheme which was introduced in the month of May 2013, the participants are now required to demonstrate that their LED lighting products meet the industry requirements.

The LED lighting rebates of the New South Wales has been strategized considering every requirement from industries, commercial and residential purposes. The rebates that are included are:

Low Income Household Rebate

.Family Energy Rebate
.Life Support Rebate
.Medical Energy Rebate

Keeping in view of the LED lighting rebates provided by the government, many LED lighting Melbourne companies offer various schemes for the energy customers. For instance, Renewable Energy Australia offers ongoing services which provides and maintains a 5-10 year warranty periods.

In summary, the application of LED lights can be cost effective by all means.
