Light-emitting diode (LED) is right now the most energy-efficient lighting technology available for use in commercial and business purposes, and it is only natural that it is also one of the most rapidly-developing technologies. LED is a kind of solid-state lighting where a semiconductor ...
In the lighting industry, right now there are two words that are dominating many of the illumination choices contractors and building owners are making right now -- energy efficiency.
After all, the more efficient a light is the longer it will last and the less energy it will need to ...
Ins & Outs of LED Drivers
As we discussed our earlier article about how LED lighting works, the needs of this type of illumination are a bit unique when compared to your conventional incandescent lighting, and even fluorescent lighting.
Although LED lighting has many great benefits ...
With so much emphasis being placed today on the environment, there's no surprise that building owners and contractors – and even home owners – are turning to the most “green” products they can find.
In the case of lighting, right now that is LED lighting as its ...
Dimming LED Lamps
One of the advantages of LED lights is that depending on how they are configured, they can be dimmed. However, even LED lamps that say they designed to dim sometimes do not work with certain dimmers, resulting in some challenges.
Overall, it's always important to make ...
LED Light Applications
Since 1961 when two engineers from Texas Instruments -- Gary Pittman and Robert Biard -- discovered what we know today as the modern LED light, things changed for the better in the lighting industry. Now there was a safe, resilient, long-lasting lighting option for both ...
What to Do When LED Lamps & Drivers Fail
Although for the most part LED lamps have proven themselves to be extremely resilient and long-lasting – both in terms of their light life and structure – that doesn't mean that an LED lamp will never fail.
If something happened ...
