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.

Most Americans Unaware of Federal Phase-Out of Incandescent Light Bulbs

Using compact fluorescent bulbs to save energy is a no-brainer—and 82 percent of Americans are now on board, according to a GE Lighting study.

Americans’ voluntary switching from incandescent light bulbs to CFLs is a promising step toward smarter energy use.

These inefficient bulbs will get an extra kick out the door come January 1, 2012, when 100-watt incandescent light bulbs will no longer be sold.

Under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, America will transition to more energy-efficient lighting, starting in 2012. Every year after that, incandescent light bulbs will see another cut: 75-watt bulbs will be phased out by 2013, and 40- and 60-watt bulbs by 2014.

While this is big step in energy conservation, most Americans are unaware of it; 75 percent of those surveyed have no idea that the government plans to phase out incandescent light bulbs.

Incandescent Lighting is not the only type of lighting being phased out, The standard T-12 flourescent lamp Ballast that has been the flourescent standard for decades has already been phased out and the T-12 flourescent lamps will soon follow.
