LED Lamp Efficiency Set to Grow With New Standards
The DOE has released new efficiency standards for LED lamps, set to take effect in 2028. The target efficacy will be 120 lm/W, up from the current 45 lm/W. Manufacturers are already halfway there and will likely use new technologies to meet the higher standards.

From Theory to Application: Understanding and Implementing Color Temperature and CRI in Lighting Design
Maintaining proper lighting levels, color temperature, and Color Rendering Index (CRI) is crucial for various applications. Color temperature affects the ambiance, while CRI determines color accuracy. LEDs offer flexibility in color temperature, have a high CRI, produce less heat, and are energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps.

Understanding the Economics in LED Replacement Projects
A University of Michigan study found that while LED lighting options outperform fluorescents, factors like installation, upfront costs, and long-term savings vary. Retrofit decisions should balance energy savings, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.

What Really Goes into Manufacturing Hazardous Location Fixtures
Most electricians and contractors are familiar with the concept of
hazardous locations – areas where a fire or explosion could occur
through the presence of flammable vapors or gases, combustible dust or
easily ignitable fibers or flyings.

Lighting the Way to Better Health Outcomes
Keeping hospital balance sheets profitable is a challenging proposition
for healthcare organizations. That’s certainly one reason why so many
have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more
efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

The Intrinsic Value of Decorative Lighting in Commercial Spaces
Recently, my wife and I had the “pleasure” of visiting a relatively new
hospital complex. For almost a year, I watched the 5-story edifice being
built as I traveled up and down Highway 49 in Northwest Arkansas.
