A power surge can destroy $15,000 of modern lighting equipment in 0.03 seconds – faster than a camera flash. Yet 68% of business owners don’t realize their premium LED installations face this invisible danger daily.
Today’s advanced illumination setups use sensitive electronics controlling color temperatures, motion sensors, and energy flows. These components sit unprotected against voltage spikes from:
– Utility company grid switches
– Nearby construction equipment
– Even refrigerators cycling on/off
The aftermath goes beyond burnt-out bulbs. Failed lighting during peak hours costs retailers $142 per minute in lost sales*. Improper illumination also risks merchandise fading and creates trip hazards in aisles.
