LED Presentation

* Information in this presentation is subject to change

• LED = Light Emitting Diode– Also known as Solid State Lighting (SSL)

• LEDs are semi-conductive materials– Similar to the diodes in a computer chip– Diode that just happens to produce light

• Components that make up an LED System or Luminaire– Driver– Control Circuitry– Heat Sink– LED Package or Module– Actual LED Diode

• History– Last 5 years price drop, variety, light output increase and color temp

WHAT IS AN LED

LED Advantages

• Operation Benefits– The most energy efficient light source on the market

• More than 95% of the energy used by an incandescent lamp is lost as waste heat.

• 50% to 70% wattage reduction• Light levels maintained or increased with less wattage

– Longer Life• 50,000 hours or more

– Lower Maintenance Costs– Low Heat Output

• Reduces AC and refrigeration costs– Elimination of Humming Ballasts– Dimming, Daylighting and Occupancy Control

• Replacement options– High Intensity Discharge (HID)

• High Pressure Sodium (HPS)• Low Pressure Sodium• Metal Halide

– Screw in lamps• Incandescent• Halogen

– Many new fixture types to fit your specific needs.– Exit Signs– 2x2 and 2x4 Troffers (lamps or fixtures)

Fixture Replacements

Wattage Comparison

LED APPLICATIONS

• High Run Hour Facilities• Cold Storage• Warehouse• Exterior

– Even though run hours aren’t high materials and cost have been reduced

• Office– 2x2 and 2x4 troffers

• Case Lighting– Reach in coolers and freezers

• Adding occupancy sensors or intelligent controls to LEDs
