LED's Provide Energy Significant Savings

LEDs: Comparing Apples to Apples
Chuck Ross

Over the years, we’ve become used to describing lamps by how many watts they draw, as with basic Edison lamps, or by the size fixture or ballast in which they’re used, as with fluorescent tubes. 

However, neither of these approaches says anything about the quality of the light those lamps produce, which can cause problems when trying to match expectations to actual lamp performance. 

While terms like “warm white” or “soft light” might have become familiar marketing terms, the lack of quantitative measurements for these qualities can make matching new lamps to well-established expectations difficult. More

LED Lighting Retrofit

Advanced Electric Design & Service offers economical LED solutions and addresses the need for more energy efficient, sustainable lighting. Retrofit modules convert existing incandescent downlights into energy efficient LED downlights using the latest in LED technology.

Achieving general illumination with LED has finally arrived with the introduction of LED recessed retrofit fixtures. High output warm white LED sources (2750K or 3500K), dimmable integral power modules, and optimal light distribution patterns all combine in these fixtures to showcase cutting-edge technology for functional lighting purposes. These recessed products represent the future of recessed lighting and the benchmark of LED lighting performance for general residential lighting.

Fixture trims are designed and UL Classified to mount into existing standard 6" recessed housings including products by Capri, Commercial electric, Emerald, Halo, Intense, Juno, Lithonia, Nora, WAC and others.

LED Light bulb vs CFL Light bulb

Incandescent Light bulbs are slowly being phased out of our lives and are scheduled to totally disappear in 2012. It is of course environmentally important to gradually phase out the use of high energy consuming products. One of those products will soon be the standard incandescent light bulb we all have grown accustomed to.

We all have come to readily recognize the most common alternative, the CFL light bulb, but they have become plagued with disposal problems. Fortunately, as progress marches on, so does the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of LED light bulb technology.

Now that manufacturers have figured out how to 'cluster' the LED's to improve the quality of the focused light beam, they are becoming more advanced and not so cost-prohibitive. To compare the cost of the incandescent bulb, CFL light bulb and the LED light bulb, the folks over at Eartheasy.com have posted a great comparison chart.

There are a miriad of LED fixture and lamp options available with more beind developed on a regular basis. Virtually any light fixture can be replaced with LED for better light and infinitely more life in both your home and business.

Check out the comparison chart at Eartheasy.com for excellent information on the value of CFL light bulbs vs LED light bulbs. Even at a slightly higher cost up front, LED light bulbs overall, appear to be the long-term winner.
