LED Lamps – Energy Saving Replacements
I’ll make no bones about it. LEDs are the light of my life. Okay, maybe
that’s going just a bit far … but not much. If you want to find an
incandescent or fluorescent lamp in my house, you’re going to have to
look hard. I think I may have a few C7s left to replace. But only
because they’re hard to get to.

Lighting Up Your Options for Emergency Exit Fixtures
Emergency exit lights might seem to be a bit of a commodity – after all,
standardization is built into their design through a range of building
code regulations at federal, state and local levels. However,
contractors do need to pay attention to the color of these lights when
evaluating options.

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.
