Are your LEDs flickering? It may reduce productivity, lower energy efficiency, and create safety risks. Fixing older fluorescent or incandescent bulbs was often straightforward. But when it comes to LED lights, the causes of flicker are not always immediately apparent. In this article, let’s explore why LED lights flicker and the practical solutions to keep your lighting stable and reliable. Read on!
Cyclone Lighting is pleased to announce its Lupa and Valenza luminaires have each received a Product Innovation Award (PIA) from Architectural Products magazine. The PIA program was created to celebrate the ground-breaking products, systems, and materials that help architects achieve new levels of creativity or performance in their design. Each entry is reviewed by an esteemed panel of practising architects; manufacturers of products and systems are awarded based on attributes, qualities, functionality, or performance beyond industry standards.
Lobbies are multifunctional spaces where practical, and aesthetic aspects of the design come together to create both a functional and welcoming environment. A lobby is typically the first impression visitors have of a building and sets the tone for the experience they will have in the space. When designing a lobby, consider how lighting will be designed for visual comfort, integration of daylight, all while setting the desired mood and addressing emergency lighting requirements.
As lighting technology continues to evolve, selectable CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) has quickly become one of the most valuable features for contractors, distributors, and end users. Once limited to a fixed colour temperature, such as a standard 4000K, LED luminaires can now deliver multiple colour temperatures within a single fixture. This flexibility not only streamlines inventory and simplifies decision-making but also ensures optimal lighting performance for a wide range of applications.
Ever struggled to see clearly while prepping in the kitchen, working at your desk, or tackling a project? The right task lighting can make all the difference. At EB Horsman, they offer a range of Liteline solutions designed to provide focused, energy-efficient illumination wherever precision matters. Task lighting delivers focused illumination to areas where clarity and detail are essential. Unlike ambient lighting, which brightens an entire space, or accent lighting, which highlights décor, task lighting is designed for specific activities—from cooking and cleaning to reading, crafting, or working at a bench. Proper task lighting enhances productivity, reduces eye strain, and improves overall comfort. Choosing the right fixtures, positioning them effectively, and integrating them with ambient and accent layers ensures your space is both functional and inviting.

When selecting your lighting fixtures, performance, efficiency, and longevity are often top priorities. But there’s another critical factor that’s sometimes overlooked — impact resistance, measured by an IK rating. Whether your lighting is installed in a rugged industrial facility or an exposed outdoor environment, understanding IK ratings ensures your fixtures can handle the job safely and reliably.
