Led Luminaries

I know there are many reputable companies in the electronics sector; Gartner, Frost and Sullivan and VDC for example, who produce some well detailed market research and future forecasts.

The way LED bulbs give off heat, and the way halogen bulbs give off heat are completely opposite. Halogen bulbs give off heat from the light they output, warming up the rooms they light. LEDs give off heat from behind the light source, and if this is not dispersed correctly the LED will lose it's brightness and eventually stop working.

As a lighting designer, the most common question I hear in regards to LED is: "Can I light my room with them?".

I read today the newest addition to the preliminary Energy Star specification on low bay lighting, this preliminary specification is an average of about 30 existing luminaries. They are therefore trying to get LED lights to match the current technology. This cannot be right as with the use of correct optics LED low bay lighting is able to meet much ...

 Standardisation a way forward for LED devices. A key concern amongst many Lighting manufacturers is the lack of standards in LED  lighting technology. This starts at device level, when if you pick a particular LED device and design the associated hardware – PCB’s, optics, drivers – it becomes an expensive exercise to then swap to an alternative LED – which may ...
