“5 reasons LED lighting is safer than HPS for cold storage facilities”

This recently read lighting article seems a bit over the top. Is this supplier using scare tactics after all high pressure sodiums have been used in freezer stores for years? How can energy savings be quantified. What about the cost of LEDs versus other forms of lighting? Comments from all the lighting experts out there would be greatly appreciated.
