LED Lighting and Controls: A Rhapsody in Bluetooth
A decade ago, LED lighting was still fighting for acceptance among
designers, contractors and consumers. Early product generations suffered
from quality control problems, flickering and light that was too far
into the blue end of the visual spectrum.

Solar Power Lighting: A Bright Opportunity for Installers and Electricians
There it is again! That cat’s chasing rabbits in my garden again
tonight. I knew something was tearing things up in there at night, so I
installed a set of solar powered floods on the top of the gate.

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.

Illuminate Your World: The Art and Science of Outdoor Lighting
As I pondered this topic, I was relaxing in our side yard, gazing at the
garden in the dark. Well, not totally in the dark. The garden was
delightfully illuminated by flickering tiki torch lamps … lit by LEDs,
charged by the sun. Spotlights shone on my miniature windmill as it
lazily spun in the evening breeze.

Look Beyond Lumens per Watt for Even More LED Energy Savings
In just a little more than a decade, LED lighting systems have moved
from a not-quite-yet-there technology to one that essentially owns the
market, especially in commercial applications. With efficacy ratings
that now surpass those of once-dominant fluorescent fixtures, LEDs also
can operate for years before needing replacement, versus months for
fluorescent tubes.

LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.
