Accentuating Key Areas

For example, flexible LED strip lights can be installed as under cabinet lights or along shelves, creating a modern look while providing focused light exactly where you need it.

Energy Efficient Lighting Solutions

In an age where energy conservation is a central theme, choosing the right lighting is more than a matter of visibility. It’s also about picking solutions that are cost-effective and eco-friendly. A well-lit garage that doesn’t drain your energy bill is the way to go, and LEDs are the best option.

    60-Watt vs 100-Watt Light Bulbs: Brightness & Wattage

    With the widespread use of LED light bulbs, the replacement and upgrade of different light bulbs have also made the concept of “equivalent wattage” more and more discussed. When comparing 60-watt vs 100-watt bulb, the wattage and brightness are the factors that need to be figured out first. Wattage is used to measure the energy consumption while many people mistakenly believe it as a direct measure of the brightness. In fact, higher wattage bulbs don’t always mean brighter light. The brightness of a light bulb is measured in lumens. It should be noticed that different types of light bulbs usually emit light with different lumen ratings even at the same wattage. For example, LED lights can emit the same amount of light while consuming less energy (watt) than Halogen bulbs.​

    Cooper Lighting Solutions: Improving Efficiency in Lighting for Municipalities & Utilities

    Explore the efficiency benefits of connected network lighting control. Municipalities and the utilities that serve their residents are tasked with managing significant lighting-related costs for the installation, maintenance, and powering of streetlights and other infrastructure lighting. So, improving efficiencies in infrastructure lighting and operation may result in considerable savings. That’s where connected network lighting control comes in. The addition of network lighting controls allows for proactive management of lighting inventory and improved operation and maintenance of infrastructure lighting. Users have full view of system-level performance – including fault detection – right from their remote device. A CMS (Central Management System) dashboard lets users check, troubleshoot, and diagnose the operational status of every light fixture in the system, and it automatically provides fault detection and flags recommended maintenance which in turn streamlines workflow and ultimately results in fewer trips to the light pole.

  • A Short History of Safety Norms For LEDs

    What came first: the chicken or the egg? In technical files the answer is simple: first comes the product, then the standard. In 1993, when Nichia introduced the blue LED (based on GaN), the issue of photo biological safety was taken into consideration. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) decided to include LEDs in the laser product category and related norms (IEC 60825).
