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.

Unlocking Potential with Demand Load Management (DLM)
Demand Load Management (DLM) is a key concept in the current discourse
on sustainability and environmental responsibility. It refers to the
systematic approach of optimizing energy consumption, lowering expenses,
reducing environmental footprint, and improving overall performance.

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 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.

What Really Goes into Manufacturing Hazardous Location Fixtures
Most electricians and contractors are familiar with the concept of
hazardous locations – areas where a fire or explosion could occur
through the presence of flammable vapors or gases, combustible dust or
easily ignitable fibers or flyings.
