LED Lighting — Demand Reduction Before Generation
LED lighting and energy efficiency upgrades nearly always pay back faster than buying a marginally better tariff. KMM treats LED as the demand-reduction lever that improves every downstream decision — solar sizing, battery sizing, procurement strategy and ROI. Rarely a standalone engagement; usually paired with the wider energy review.
⚖ For commercial sites with ageing fluorescent lighting, badly-controlled HVAC, or no metering granularity.
Should I do LED before solar?
Short answer. Yes, in most cases. Reducing your demand means you size the solar system, battery and grid connection against a smaller load — which is cheaper across the board. KMM nearly always works through the demand-reduction list (LED, controls, sub-metering) before recommending generation scale.
