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.

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.

Protective Coatings Bring Multiple Benefits to LEDs
Tube lamps have been a go-to for decades and, while the latest LED
fixtures often incorporate integrated lighting elements – in other
words, no separate lamps – millions of troffer fixtures initially
designed for fluorescent technology are still in service around the
globe.

Shedding Some Light on Full-Spectrum LEDs
As someone who’s tracked LED lighting since its early days as a
commercially available technology, my own experience with the products
has evolved. I live in an older house with overhead lighting only in the
kitchen and bathrooms, so this has mostly meant experimenting with LED
bulbs (or “lamps,” in lighting designer lingo) in the 14 or 15 table
fixtures scattered around my home.
