The Intrinsic Value of Decorative Lighting in Commercial Spaces
Recently, my wife and I had the “pleasure” of visiting a relatively new
hospital complex. For almost a year, I watched the 5-story edifice being
built as I traveled up and down Highway 49 in Northwest Arkansas.

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.

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.

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.
