LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is the newest, and some of the most energy efficient lighting technology available today. Also known as SSL (Solid State Lighting), it comes in sizes that range from a single diode, to luminaires or fixtures rated in the hundreds of watts. If you're considering using LED's, it's very important to make sure you take a close look at the specifications, as all products are not created equal. Besides total fixture wattage and lumen output, one of the primary specs to consider is the efficacy of the light. Measured in lumens/watt, it is a measure of the efficiency of the fixture. There are a lot of products on the market, both domestic as well as imported that have low efficacy ratings that make them much less desirable from both an economic, as well as a lighting design point of view. CRI (Color Rendering Index) is another important measure of how faithfully the light compares to natural lighting. The higher the number the better.
Although the price of LED lighting has been going down, while the efficiency and quality have been going up, it still tends to be more expensive than conventional lighting technology. The real savings and ROI come from reduced energy usage and lower maintenance costs. We have the tools and can work with you to formulate an investment analysis to see if the project makes sense from an economic standpoint.
We specialize in premium quality, high-power, high efficiency lighting products.
