LED Lighting Upgrades
Make the change to LED lighting for your home or business and reap the benefits. Not only are LED lights variable from cool white to warm and comfortable, but they can save you money on energy costs in your home or business. LED lights last much longer than regular or halogen bulbs and they are dimmable for extra savings.
Our LED lights have an average life of around 50,000 hours. That means you can keep them on 24/7 for about 6 years straight. LED lighting requires no warm-up time. Just turn on the light and enjoy the brightness without the annoying flicker from fluorescents.
As one of the most energy efficient lighting options available, the switch to LED lighting will save you money on your electricity bill. Since LED lights are more efficient, you get the same amount of light with roughly a quarter of the energy! You will see lower energy consumption on Day 1 of your switch.
From a business standpoint, LED lighting can also save you in other ways. They require less maintenance than other forms of lighting, and can lead to higher sales through better staging, and could improve safety and productivity in your office! Who knew that lighting could have such a big impact on daily life? Upgrading to LED lighting for your business is a simple transition that will pay for itself in no time! Significant energy savings, easy to maintain, strong, and sturdy.
LED upgrades are simple and more affordable than you may think.

Security Lighting
It’s a wise choice for homes and businesses to utilize security lighting with their other safety measures. Bright at night lighting in key areas inside and around a property’s perimeter has been shown to discourage intruders. From timed lights to bright motion-activated spotlights. We know how to install the right kind of security lighting, in the right places, to give your property maximum security.
Security lighting systems like Floodlights will illuminate larger areas for more security. Spotlights, on the other hand, can be used to emphasize and highlight architectural features, special plantings, water features, and more. The professional electricians at Roberts Electrical can install either one or both for your home or commercial space.
For the highest quality landscape & security lighting, trust the experts in electrical and lighting systems. Give Roberts Electrical a call today to set up your consultation to see what type of lighting is right for your home or business.

Under Cabinet Lighting
If you want to draw attention to a beautiful custom backsplash, then under cabinet lighting, is the way to do it. Sometimes we invest in particular elements in our kitchen that we truly love, but we cannot truly enjoy them until they are properly and adequately lit. Under cabinet lights add lighting not only to the countertop areas, but they also draw attention to your backsplash, which is a great way to draw the eye in.
Countertop areas underneath cabinets are every bit as important as general cabinet lighting. They serve both a decorative function as well as a practical purpose. Shadows underneath cabinets are both unattractive, and they can also make working with knives and other kitchen implements unsafe if visibility is obscured too much.
The energy-saving value of LED technology cannot be emphasized enough. Under cabinet LED lights are 90% more energy efficient than xenon equivalents, and the staggering lamp life of up to 50,000 bulb hours makes replacements very rare.

Without emergency lighting employees and customers could momentarily panic or get confused which could result in personal injury, property damage or worse.
Keeping customers and personnel safe is a big part of owning/managing a business. Roberts Electrical can assist in installing proper emergency lighting to help individuals navigate to a safe exit in a time of emergency.

Dimmer Installation
Dimmer switches are an economical way to use less energy and save bulb life. Saving energy and longer-lasting bulbs go hand in hand. Have the professionals at Roberts Electrical do the installation in your home or office to ensure safe installation and proper function.
At the same time you’re reducing energy use and extending bulb life, you’ll be doing your part to reduce the pollution produced by power plants. Longer bulb life also means you will be throwing fewer bulbs away over time. And less of everything in our landfills is better for everyone! What’s good for the earth’s health is also good for yours. Scientific studies suggest dimming lights in the evening has less negative effect on sleep cycles. Light-dimming also lowers “colour temperature,” replicating the effect of the setting sun.
Let Roberts Electrical’s professional electricians install your dimmers safely and economically today!
Ballast & Bulb Replacement
Are you tired of listening to the hum of your fluorescent lights? Would you like more efficient fluorescent lighting? Ballast and bulb replacement services provided by Roberts Electrical of Sudbury and surrounding areas can take care of that annoying noise of old ballasts by replacing them with newer and more efficient ballast technology and while we are at it, we can change out any burned out bulbs.
There are many different types of ballasts for fluorescent fixtures:
Ballasts made before 1979 are magnetic fluorescent ballasts that may contain PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls). The expected life of these ballasts was only 10–15 years. The probability of failure, fire and risk of health and environmental hazard are great if these ballasts are still in use. If your building was built prior to 1980 and the fluorescent fixtures date back to this time, call Roberts Electrical to inspect and perform ballast replacements.
Since 1988, energy efficient magnetic ballasts (10–12% greater efficiency than previous types) have been required by law to be used in new installations. These ballasts provided lower maintenance, cooler operating temperatures and had a longer life than predecessors had. However, the ballast consumes 10W of power with a lamp in the circuit and 4W without the lamp in place, making them less efficient than what is currently available.
Electronic ballasts work by using electronic components. This ballast type uses less power, operates at a cooler temperature, weighs less and provides a longer lamp life because it operates at a higher frequency.
A combination of electronic components and electromagnetic technology has allowed the production of hybrid ballasts. This type of ballast turns off the power to the cathode after lamp start, which reduces energy required by about 2.5W for each F40 lamp. Hybrids also have a long life span of approximatley 25 years, which greatly reduces maintenance costs. Hybrids are not designed for T8 lamps.
The newer types of electronic and electromagnetic ballasts are 12–30% more efficient than older types and have a longer life. Electronic ballasts eliminate the hum and flickering commonly experienced when using older types of ballasts.
Fluorescent lamps also have improved in efficiency over time. Using better electrodes and lamp coatings, now the lamps are able to produce an equal lumen output at far lower wattages than older lamp technology.
Florescent lighting is common in many businesses; the expense of maintenance – ballast and bulb replacement – can be quite costly over time. By retrofitting your existing fixtures with newer technology, what you save in maintenance costs could cover the cost of the retrofit installation.
