Why LED?
•Energy Efficient, up to 90% more
efficient than traditional lighting sources
•Long life span, up to 100,000 hours
•Variety of color options
•Low operation costs
•No UV radiation
•No mercury
•Instant on, no start-up time
•Silent operation
•Reduces “Carbon Footprint”
Carbon Footprint: facts in evidence
• Energy consumption for all lighting in the U.S. is estimated to
be 22% of the total electricity generated.
• If every U.S. home replaced their 5 most frequently used light
fixtures with LED lighting, we would save close to $8 billion
per year in energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions
equivalent to that produced by 10 million cars.
•If just 25% of U.S. lighting fixtures were converted to LEDs,
we would save $115 billion in utility costs, alleviate the need
to build 133 new coal-burning power stations; reduce carbon
emission by 158 million metric tons and avoid releasing 5,700
pounds of airborne mercury (from fluorescent) per year.

Case Study: Parking Lot
Labor Savings
20 400watt Metal Halide parking lot fixtures were Retrofitted with BestCore™ R48
retrofit board. The average annual energy bill was $4,266. The calculated annual LED
energy cost is $508.00. That’s $3,758 or 88% energy savings.
20 NEW LED fixtures were installed in a separate lot. It took 2 electricians 3 days to
complete the install.
Approximate labor cost: $5,200.00
The 20 BestCore™ boards were retrofitted into the existing canopy fixtures. It took 2
electricians 3 hours to complete the canopy.
Approximate labor cost: $600.00
Labor savings: $4,600.00 or 91%
Scotopic vs. Photopic
How we “see” light
Scotopic vision and Photopic vision are different ways the human eye
perceives light. Light sources are measured in Lumens. Whereas
traditional HID light sources are measured using photopic sensors. LED
lighting is measured using Scotopic sensors. So, to compare the Lumens
from a traditional MH or HID light source with an LED light source is like
comparing apples to oranges. Both fruit, but very different. A traditional
400 watt MH bulb produces about 25,000 Lumens. However, as much of 3050% of the light is lost at the source, as MH produces light in a 360˚ pattern.
LEDs direct the light to the useful source, downward to the ground, usually
in a 120˚-160˚ angle, making most of the light “useful”. As LEDs tend to
produce less Lumens as traditional HID lighting sources, the actual light
perceived is much greater.
Lighting Trends
LEDs will continue to surpass other lighting options for an efficient source
