Established in 2003, PhotonWorks
Engineering specializes in the manufacturing, design and integration of
Solar Energy systems. PhotonWorks rooftop photovoltaic trellises can be
seen at Tim's Punchbowl multi-family project, the Zeroplex, which is the
first multi-family LEED Platinum project and here in the state. Tim
Johnsson was the recipient of the ABC 2010 Excellence in Construction
Award for Multi-family developments.
General and electrical contractor, he brings years of
contracting experience to execute Photonworks many projects. He has
executed hundreds of construction projects in the State of Hawaii & is
currently in development of 50MW project in Thailand. Paul’s own home
is a net zero accomplishment, demonstrating his commitment to
forward thinking designs.

LED Lighting
the green revolution
The Amazing LED Light, A light-emitting diode (LED) is
a semiconductor light source, When a light-emitting diode is switched
on, electrons are stimulating, releasing energy in the form of PHOTONS.
This effect is called electroluminescence. LEDs have many advantages
over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption,
longer lifetime, improved durability, smaller size, and faster switching.
Sustainable Lighting, Efficient lighting is needed for sustainable
architecture.. A standard 40-watt incandescent bulb has an expected
lifespan of 1,000 hours, whereas an LED can continue to operate with
reduced efficiency for more than 50,000 hours, 50 times longer than the
incandescent bulb. For each watt of energy incandescent bulbs use, 80%
is wasted as heat, less than 15% becomes light, versus LED efficiency,
for each watt of energy, 92% to over 100% becomes light. LED lighting is
50% more efficient than Flourescents or CFL’s.
Top Ten Benefits of LED Lights
1. Long Life, with an average life expectancy of 100,000 hours, at 8 hours per day, the projected life span could
be 10 years before replacement is needed
2. Energy Efficiency, with an average of 80% -90% of energy converted to white light and only 10% loss of energy,
compared to traditional inefficient lighting that only has a 20% efficiency rating of conversion of energy used to
produce light while 80% is lost as heat. Due to their long life span, they have significant savings over the
replacement, maintenance and labor costs associated with traditional light bulbs.
3. Ecologically Friendly, LED’s are 100% recyclable since they are free of toxic materials unlike traditional
fluorescent bulb that contain a multitude of materials including mercury that are toxic for the environment. The
LED’s long life span also saves production materials & costs of traditional incandescent & fluorescent bulbs.
4. Durable Quality LED’s are extremely durable and resistant to shock, vibration and weather conditions. Great
solutions for outdoor lighting, traffic lights, parking lots, construction sites and manufacturing sites.
5. Zero UV Emissions LED’s produce little to no infrared and no UV spectrum, which is beneficial for
environments sensitive to damaging UV rays such as art galleries, museums, retail space and offices.
6. Design Flexibility LED’s can be designed and configured in multiple design arrays and applications for the right
solutions, LED mood lighting provides significant benefits for our wellbeing, applications include; offices, retail,
classrooms and homes.
7. Operational in Extreme Temperatures LED’s can withstand extreme heat and cold, which is beneficial for
outdoor lighting applications, ie; stadiums, parking lots, city street lighting. Providing reliability and consistency.
8. Light Dispersement LED’s are designed to focus their light in directionality without the use of deflectors or
canopies, making for a more efficient use of the light and energy. Well designed LED fixtures are able to direct
light to the desired area more effectively and efficiently.
9. Instant Lighting & Frequent Switching LED produce light upon switching instantly versus fluorescent bulbs that
require time to warm up, and frequent switching does not degrade its effectiveness.
10. Low Voltage LED’s produce 1000 lumens per 10 watt of required energy, compared to Incandescents that
require 75 watts, or CFL’s that use 25 watts, LED’s convert energy more efficiently into light instead of losing
energy as heat.
