The transition to LED lighting is rapidly becoming essential for brands, manufacturers, and suppliers, driven by market dynamics, sustainability efforts, and regulatory changes. As lighting accounts for 17% of electricity consumption in U.S. commercial buildings, the energy efficiency of LEDs—using 90% less energy than traditional incandescent lights—is both economically and environmentally advantageous. However, this shift introduces challenges in color perception, as LEDs have unique spectral properties that can alter how products are viewed under different lighting conditions. To successfully adapt, companies must standardize lighting across workflows, upgrade testing booths to include LED options, and ensure that color measurement devices align with the new lighting standards. By proactively addressing these challenges, manufacturers can avoid costly mismatches and enhance visual consistency in their products, turning the transition to LED into a competitive edge rather than a setback.
