2. • 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
3. 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
4. • 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
6. 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
