LIGHTING EVOLUTION
Understanding Lighting Technologies
Light from Burning Fire via Biomass (coal, wood, straw, animal faeces etc)
Light from Heating Filament with Pure Electricity (tungsten-halogen, incandescent)
Light from Heating Filament with Electricity and Gases (metal halide, sodium vapour, fluorescent tubing.
Light from Glowing Diode(synthetic) with electrical current passing through
Light from Future Glowing Diode (organic) with electrical current passing throughLIGHTING EVOLUTION
WHAT IS LED?A LED or, Light Emitting Diode, is a semi-conductor light source.
As electricity passes through the diodes, the atoms increase in energy.
As the atoms release their excess energy, light is created.
ADVANTAGES OF LED High levels of brightness & intensity
High efficiency
Long life span 50,000 hours
Resistant to shock & vibration
Low radiated heat 3.4 BTUs / hour
No UV rays
3 PART LEDFixtureHousing- Can be made waterproof by using Gaskets and Welding. Must be triple waterproof for Explosion Proof.
Fixture must be made spark resistant by complex electrical engineering (Intrinsically safe).
Driver - Voltage Regulation- LEDs work with very low voltage- as compared to whats available in buildings similar to Ballasts but less complicated.
LED CHIP DIP, SMD, COB (ALL our Corn bulbs carry 3528, Quattros can carry 3528 and 5730, Strip Lighting uses 5050 or 3528)
ExceptionsPortable and Emergency Lights will not carry a driver within the fixture but rather outside the fixture in the charging cord.
Portable and emergency lighting will also need to carry a rechargeable battery in it.
NiCd Nickel Cadmium Cheaper, existing for many yearsNi-MH- Nickel Metal Hydride More Expensive Holds better charge

Specifications SheetsTwo Reasons Spec Sheets The Why
Placing of Quantity for Budgeting PurposesPlacing of Quality of Light for Aesthetic, Legal and Security Purposes
Both Reasons, you should aim to be informed by asking questions so you can manipulate your LIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS according to the particular customer, instead of leaving it up to them.Leaving it up the customer or the Customers Electrical Consultants or Engineers to overlook the Specification sheets, would most likely result in the customer going with Fluorescent Technology.
Specifications generally used for budgeting purposes and work with accounts to give cost for initial lumen output with the initial lighting fixture layout. It will always show that the LED cost per lumen initially would be higher than fluorescent.
Example:XYZ company has an intended budget of $10,000 dollars-But the specifications sheets based on Lumen Output Suggest they should use 4 LED Fixtures costing $10,000 each.The Fluorescents based on the same lumen output cost $2400 each The LED is 4 times their budget. No way they will go with it.
Solution -FOCUS ON THE PAIN of the old technology and although its cheaper, why they should at least give one LED fixture a try for $10,000 and then go ahead and buy some fluorescent to compliment it. Don't turn focus on the lumen cost.
Specifications Sheets
In USA if it cost US$400 to run some lights for month in
T&T it will cost $100 to run the same lights.
Focus on:
HeatInstant OnSafetyFrequency of Changing old systemAesthetics
Do not focus on initial light output cost per lumen (SPEC SHEET) or electricity savings. They do save on electricity but in 5-6 Years
Specifications Sheets
Recommending lightingThe lower the light placed the higher the intensity of the light- Test this idea if customer is budgeting.
Do not need to recommend high wattage depending on application.
Take into consideration directional light- Cannot compare lumens in 400W metal halide to 150W LED (30K lumens and 150W 15K lumens).
