The Complete 2024 LED Lighting Guide
CONCERN 1: Understanding Lighting Levels for LED
Are you not sure what LED products replace traditional lighting products?
SOLUTION: E.B. Horsman & Son has trained staff in LED products.Our staff will guide you through replacing traditional lighting products with LED products to ensure existing lighting levels are comparable or exceeded.
CONCERN 2: LED Lighting Controls
Wondering if standard lighting dimming controls work with LED lighting?
SOLUTION: Small amount of LED sources can be controlled with existing triac dimmers, but most integrated LED products require different forms of dimming to be able to control. Talk to your EBH representative about what products are required to dim your LED.
Benefits Of LED Lighting Fixtures
1. Energy Savings With LED Fixtures
There is a lot of talk about the efficiency of LED lighting. Here is an example of the efficiency and savings you can expect by switching to LED if you have 10 fixtures that are on 4380 hours per year
2. LED Incentive Programs
When you choose energy efficient LED products, both BC Hydro and Energy Efficiency Alberta have incentive programs to help lower customer costs. E.B. Horsman & Son’s staff can help you to apply for those inventives.
3. Eco-Friendly Lighting Solutions
Anything that uses traditional energy (electricity) automatically produces greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Energy-saving LED lights use less energy to produce the same light output, which means you not only save money on your Hydro bill, but also do your part for the environment.
LED lights have a lifetime that is up to 10 times longer than traditional lights. This allows you to replace LEDs less frequently than traditional lights, meaning you save money and reduce your light disposal and waste.
4. Total Cost of Ownership
Understanding total cost of ownership is key when considering LED products. Initially LEDs are more expensive but beacuse of their efficiency, they are less expensive to run overtime. Furthermore, the life of LED products is up to 10x longer compared to traditional products.
5. CRI Accuracy and Colour Temperature
Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is the quantitative measure of how accurately a light is rendering colour when compared to a perfect reference light. It is measured in percent, the higher the percentage the more accurate the colour rendering.
