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.

Lighting Automation Still Requires a Contactor
Lighting automation has bells and whistles, but a lighting contactor is
necessary to switch the actual lighting circuits. Properly selecting
lighting contactors can save installation and maintenance costs. What
are some of the important considerations in addition to the correct
voltage and current?

Lighting Up Right: Nailing the Essentials for a Safe Install
Installing and maintaining lighting in commercial and industrial
settings was my job for the better part of 36 years. While I worked solo
for much of that time, I often worked with other team members. And
sometimes, my “joy and delight” was following up on installations and
repairs done by others.
