As urbanization continues to reshape our cities, innovative solutions are needed to meet the growing demand for fresh and sustainable food. Urban farming has emerged as a viable solution, allowing communities to grow their own produce in urban environments. LED grow lights have revolutionized the way urban farming operates, offering numerous benefits and enabling year-round […]

A Look at Kelvin Temperatures in Lighting
We have all likely had the experience of sensing that a room’s lighting is too harsh, or of feeling that a room was so warmly lit that the lighting itself created a very relaxing environment. How we perceive lighting is a function of the relative concentrations of different color visible spectrum wavelengths in the lighting. […]
German Airports Showing Major Cost Savings with LED Lighting Systems
Ground and flight operations at major airports are akin to a highly-choreographed ballet. Even with enhanced radar and electronic imaging, the operations teams that control this ballet need to have a clear view of everything happening while controlling costs to maintain the safety and profitability of their actions. New LED airport lighting technology is helping […]
What Are Lumens? A Complete Guide to Understanding Lumens in LED Lighting
As LED technology continues to transform residential, commercial, and industrial lighting, many consumers are asking an essential question: what are lumens, and why are they more important than watts when choosing LED lights? If you’re planning to upgrade your lighting—whether for your home, office, warehouse, or retail space—understanding lumen ratings is critical for making the […]
Energy Efficient LED Street Lighting Offers Enormous Cost Savings
Between 2009 and 2016, Los Angeles retrofitted more than half of its streetlights with LED lights as part of a long-term initiative to transition to eco-friendly, green technology. The city intends to replace all of its lights with LEDs, but even before it has completed that project, it has realized energy cost savings of more […]
What Affects the Lifespan of LED Lights?
LED Lighting has become a staple of sustainable and cost-effective lighting sources due to their long life, but what affects the lifespan of LED lights? Rather than generating light by passing electrical current through a metal filament or a gaseous substance, LED light comes from interactions at a molecular level among solid state elemental materials. […]
Important Milestones in the Story of LED Lighting
In just over fifty years, LED lighting has progressed from limited use by benchtop hobbyists who used tiny red LED bulbs as signal indicators in electronics projects, to a household presence in video screens and lighting fixtures. Advances in the field over this period have positioned the Story of LED Lighting as the predominant technology […]
LED Lighting is Revolutionizing Outdoor Sports
The first outdoor night baseball game was played in Massachusetts in 1880, when event organizers erected 36 lamps to generate approximately 90,000 foot-candles of light onto the playing field. Sports promoters quickly came to appreciate how illuminating playing fields would open their sports to a broader audience that would not otherwise be able to attend […]
The Rapid Growth of LED Technology in the Middle East
As we coast further into 2016, countries in the Middle East are experiencing record population growth, which is creating an unprecedented demand for infrastructure developments and improvements, including LED Technology in the Middle East. The Middle East is rich with oil resources but that resource wealth does not translate into a profligate attitude toward energy […]
The Benefits of LED Industrial Lighting
Architects and engineers that design and construct industrial buildings, including manufacturing spaces and warehouses, have historically chosen to illuminate those buildings with high-intensity metal halide or fluorescent fixtures. A third option of LED industrial lighting is now becoming more available and more economically reasonable. When considering among the three available options, most building architects and […]
