LED Technology
LED Lighting technology is progressing rapidly
and LED applications continue to expand.
•
LEDs are Disposal Friendly
-
•
Low-Temperature Lumen Production
-
•
Unlike fluorescent, LEDs maintain lumen output in
the cold
Instant-On
-
•
No mercury to enter landfills
RoHS compliant – No Lead
No warm up period required
Point Source with Directionality – Light
Distribution Control
-
LEDs illuminate from a single point and in only one
direction

LED Life = Long Life
• LEDs provide long life
illumination
– 50,000 + Hours of
usable illumination is
now common
• Long life is very attractive
for applications where
lamp replacement is
difficult or expensive
Lumen Maintenance Example: L85 @ 50K Hours
85% of initial lumens at 50,000 Hours

LED Replacement Lamps
• LED Lamps Provide Exceptional Performance
– 25K to 40K Hour life ratings
– Dimmable with standard dimmers
– CRI >80, (>90 is available too)
• LED Lamp Examples
– 90W PAR38 Halogen → 18W PAR38 LED
– 65W BR30 Incandescent → 10W BR30 LED
– 35W MR16 GU5.3 Halogen → 6W MR16 GU5.3 LED

– Daylight harvesting – Energy management control
• Wide operating temperature range
– LEDs work even better in cold ambients
• Cost Premium
– 1.5-2x multiplier for LED over standard fluorescent
– On par w/ fluorescent with dimming
LED fixtures hide the LEDs so the light
source is not obvious.

Fluorescent to LED Retrofit Options
• New Fixture
– Provides the highest performance
– Extremely high lumen maintenance and long life
• LED Retrofit Kits
– Inside of fixture is replaced with a new surface containing Linear LED modules
and an LED driver
– Extremely high lumen maintenance and long life
• LED Linear Lamps with External Driver
– Driver replaces the ballast in the fixture
– Uses existing lampholders but some re-wiring required
• LED Linear Lamps with Integral Driver
– Input voltage is wired directly to the lamp socket
– Most lamps are 120V only
– Lamp Ratings 25K – 40K Hours
All options require some level of re-wiring.

surface (LES). At up to 10,000 lumens these
modules are being incorporated (individually or
in multiples) with or without optics into wallwash, flood lights and other area lighting
applications as well.
Slim Linear Modules
Available in 6, 12 and 18” lengths with standard and
high lumen versions for maximum flexibility in
smaller linear fixtures, sconces, pendants, step lights,
etc. Very popular among OEMs offering decorative
LED products.
