Humans Love Lumens. But Plants? Something Else.
It took a while, but people finally understand that watts don’t measure visible light output.
Lumens do.
Watts
has to do with energy consumption, not light output. Getting some folks
to understand that was a tough nut to crack, and I’m guessing some
still don’t have a handle on it.

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.

Look, Ma, No Wires – and a New Business Opportunity
Lighting without wires – that’s the promise solar-powered security
lighting offers homeowners. If you’re an electrical contractor, you
might see that lack of wires as a threat to your installation business –
after all, if there aren’t any wires, why would customers turn to you
for help?

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.
