If you have a large interior space that needs to be illuminated, troffer lighting can be an effective and efficient solution. However, there are some tips and considerations that can help business leaders to maximize the light production and reliability of their troffer light fixtures.

Upgrade To LED Lights

Traditional fluorescent lighting can be extremely inefficient. In addition to requiring fairly large amounts of electricity to function, these lights can also emit sizable amounts of heat. Upgrading to LED troffer lights can be an effective way of drastically lowering the amount of power that your system needs or heat that it produces without creating a dark or dim interior. Another benefit of these bulbs is that they will have much longer lifespans than traditional fluorescent or incandescent bulbs, which can reduce the labor and expense needed to change bulbs that have failed. Depending on the design of your current troffer lights, this upgrade may be as simple as buying LED bulbs that can fit your light fixtures.

Have Flickering Troffer Lights Repaired

Unfortunately, you may find that one or more of your troffer lights will develop a flickering problem. Often, this issue will start out manifesting itself when the light is first turned on, but this problem can continue to worsen until it completely fails. A faulty or loose connection is often the most likely culprit of this issue, as this connection problem can prevent the flow of power into the light. Repairing this problem may require part of the troffer light to be disassembled so that the wiring can be accessed. Due to the complexity of these repairs as well as the hazards of working with electrical wiring, a professional troffer light service provider should be hired to repair this damage.

Dust The Troffer On A Regular Basis

The interior of your business can be prone to accumulating large amounts of dust and dirt. Much of this dust can collect on the lighting fixtures. When a troffer light becomes coated in a thick layer of dust or dirt, it can cause the light to appear dim. In some instances, enough dust can accumulate to potentially interfere with the functioning of the light. Furthermore, this dust can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Prior to dusting the troffer light, it should be turned off and allowed to cool for several minutes. These lights can get extremely hot if they have been used for long periods of time, and taking a few moments to allow them to cool can reduce the risk of painful burns.
