Everything you want to know about LED lighting

What does LED stand for?

LED is short for light-emitting diode.

How long do LEDs last?

LEDs are notable for being extremely long-lasting products. Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL. Used 12 hours a day, a 50,000 bulb will last more than 11 years. Used 8 hours a day, it will last 17 years!

Where can LEDs be used?

They can be used almost anywhere. LED replacements are already available for bulb types such as A-shape, PAR reflectors, MR reflectors, decorative, undercabinet, and more. When used on dimmers, particularly dimming systems that support many bulbs, we suggest testing a few LEDs first to test compatibility.

-USHIO LEDs

What are the advantages of switching to LED?

The advantages of switching to LED are numerous. Here are just some of the benefits: LEDs use much less electricity than other bulbs, have extremely long rated lives, produce very little heat, do not emit UV or infrared, contain no mercury, are resistant to shock and vibration, and can operate effectively in extremely cold environments. For more information the advantages of LED, see LED: Is It Right For You?.

Why do LEDs cost more than other types of bulbs? Are they worth it?

LED is still a new technology, and the expense of producing quality product is still high. However, pricing has come down dramatically from just a few years ago and prices are expected to continue to drop. In terms of whether LEDs are worth the extra cost, it's helpful to look at the cost to operate a bulb in addition to the up-front cost. The energy savings realized in a switch to LED means that the extra up-front cost is often paid back rather quickly, and you'll wind up saving money over the life of the bulb. If you'd like to see this in action, check out our Energy Savings Calculator. Here is an example: for a residential customer who may have the light on for just 10 hours per week the payback is over 10 years. On the other hand, a retail or restaurant client who is burning lights for 90-100 hours per week will calculate their payback on a $70 LED PAR to be less than 18 months. Taking a look at your payback estimate should definitely be a consideration when deciding if LED is right for you.

Is there really any difference between a $10 LED and a $50 LED?

Yes. LEDs are very similar to consumer electronics and quality really matters. In order for an LED to function properly and provide an acceptable light output, all of the components must be built to last. It's always a good idea to buy from a manufacturer and retailer that you're confident will stand behind the product. If you'd like to learn more about the components and how cheaply-made LEDs stack up against top-quality product, check out A Tale of Two Bulbs.

Is an LED going to produce enough light to replace my current bulb?

For most applications, yes. Off-the-shelf LED products are now reliably replacing incandescent equivalents of up to 100 watts, and specialty products are available to replace even higher wattages. If you'd like to learn more about LED light output, take a look at this article on light output.

What's the quality of LED light?

If you buy quality product, the light quality is excellent. Color Rendering Index (CRI) is generally used to measure light quality on a scale from 1-100. Most LEDs have a CRI rating of at least 80, and many are rated 90 and above.

How green are LEDs?

LEDs are very green. For starters, they use much less electricity than many other lighting products. This means that less electricity has to be produced to operate them, and resulting in lower emissions from power plants, especially in areas where coal-fired plants are common. Unlike CFLs, they contain no mercury. Because of their long life, they also reduce solid waste: If you replace an incandescent bulb with an LED, you will prevent fifty 1,000 hour incandescent bulbs from being thrown away. Additionally, they produce very little heat and can reduce energy usage related to HVAC. The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that increased adoption of LEDs over the next 15 years would also reduce electricity demands from lighting by 62 percent, prevent 258 million metric tons of carbon emissions, and eliminate the need for 133 new power plants.

Can LEDs be used with dimmers?

Usually, yes. Many LEDs are specifically listed as being dimmable. Some dimming systems work with LEDs better than others, so it's best to test one or two before completely re-lamping a space.

For a variety of dimmers view our website: Electric Supplies Online Dimmers

Should LEDs be used in enclosed fixtures?

Not if they are completely enclosed. In order for an LED to function correctly, they must be in a non-enclosed fixture to allow for heat to dissipate from the heat sink. Otherwise, they can overheat and may fail early.

Are there rebates/incentives/tax credits available for switching to LED?

In many cases, yes. In order to find out if you are eligible for a rebate or other incentive program, you can reference the Department of Energy's DSIRE site, or call a Bulbs.com Lighting Specialist.

Sprucing Up Your Bathroom

 

Let’s face it – even the oft-forgotten bathroom needs some sprucing up from time to time. We have some great ideas to add a dash of style, a hint of freshness and improve the overall look of the room with the right lighting.

To purchase Leviton Products Please visit Electric Supplies Online

Starting simple, some nice fresh flowers or a green plant will bring nature’s beauty inside and naturally freshen the bathroom. Cut some pretty flowers from your own garden for an expense-free way to add color every day.

Install a Humidity Sensor and Fan Control for a trouble-free way to reduce excess condensation, keeping the bathroom fresh. This device automatically detects excess humidity and activates the ventilation fan to effectively lessen condensation which helps reduce mold and mildew.  Plus, it helps save energy by automatically operating the fan only when needed to control excess humidity. Yes, no more fan running for hours because someone forgot to turn it off!

Update your style by changing wall hangings, pictures, throw rugs and shower curtains each season. You’ll be amazed how something so simple can add a little lift. And it doesn’t take much time to do.

If you are feeling really adventurous you may want to re-grout the tile. You just don’t realize how dingy that white grout has become until it’s all bright and shiny new! Plus, good grouting helps keep water from seeping behind tiles; another way to help prevent mold and mildew.

Replace you basic ON/OFF switch with a dimmer. You never appreciate how great it is to be able to adjust the light level until you actually can!  Just think about a nice relaxing bath in dimly lit room and then, poof, raise the lights for applying make-up or shaving. And, keeping lights set at mid-level for everyday use helps save energy. 

Last, but certainly not at all least, is a GFCI with guide lights. Safety is always number one on our list so if you don’t have a GFCI outlet in your bathroom upgrade today. Our GFCI Guide Light model has two LEDs, automatically providing a soft glow when the room is dark. Perfect for guests and nighttime visits.

Juno Hyperbolic LED Trims

With new Juno-brand Hyperbolic LED Trims, architects, specifiers, builders and contractors can now create a “Silent Ceiling™” effect – a step above a “quiet ceiling” – in residential and light commercial applications.

  To purchase Juno Hyperbolic LED Trims Please visit: Electric Supplies Online

DES PLAINES, Ill. — May 27, 2014 — Juno Lighting Group®, a leader in high-quality commercial and residential lighting solutions, announced the availability of its exclusive, patent pending Hyperbolic LED Trims for 5- and 6-inch Juno® LED luminaries. Previously only available with Juno Lighting GroupIndy™-brand luminaires for commercial use, with the new Juno-brand Hyperbolic LED Trims, architects, specifiers, builders and contractors can now create a “Silent Ceiling™” effect – a step above a “quiet ceiling” – in residential and light commercial applications.

Juno Hyperbolic LED Trims are ideal for creating low-brightness ceilings with virtually no glare while significantly increasing luminaire efficiency and efficacy by 35 percent when compared to conventional reflectors. To achieve this, Juno Hyperbolic LED Trims use a patent-pending technology to reduce the amount of light incident on the lower portion of the reflector, dramatically cutting aperture brightness.

Prompted by the demand for low glare, high efficiency LED luminaires, Juno Lighting Group engineers conducted extensive research and testing, and discovered that changing the overall shape of the reflector from cone to hyperbolic provides superior light distribution control for LED sources. This is because the hyperbolic shape takes advantage of the directional nature of LED light sources, spreading and directing light down toward the work plane.

The hyperbolic shape takes advantage of the directional nature of LED light sources, spreading and directing light down toward the work plane.

Juno-brand Hyperbolic trims are available for Juno-brand 4-, 5- and 6-inch 600, 900 and 1400 lumen residential/light commercial IC and TC rated downlights in a wide variety of finishes and are as simple to install as a standard trim.

The Juno 5-inch and 6-inch Hyperbolic LED Trims are currently available through Juno Lighting Group channel partners.
