Surge Protection in LED Lighting Is Critically Important
Posted by Dara Greaney on 3/26/2019 to
LED Light Bulbs
Electrical surge, in simple words, is a sudden spike in electricity in your electrical circuits. Even though surges in general can last for as little as a fraction of a second, it can take massive toll on all electrical appliances and devices that may be connected to the circuit. LED lights, even the tough ones like high power LED stadium lights and LED flood lights are affected by electrical surges. Surges will cause wires and components to overheat, melt and lead to short circuits, all of which are destructive LED components.
A Lighting Designers Trip to Disneyland - Lighting Critique of the Magic Kingdom
Posted by Dara Greaney on 2/4/2019 to
LED Lights
As a lighting designer your brain is always thinking lights, lighting and now LEDs. So when we took the kids to Disneyland last week, I spent as much time looking at lights as I could while being raced from ride to ride. My short takeaway is how poor the lighting. Mainly from the complete lack of energy efficient lighting, but also from a design standpoint. I saw more incandescents and lights on during the day than I have ever seen. Disneyland needs me. (hint, hint call me)
In fairness to Disney, I researched it and Disneyworld is about to go energy neutral with a large solar install by 2019. Its west coast sibling Disneyland, not so much though. Even California Adventure got a few solar panels, but not many. None of the parks appear to be using LEDs to cut that usage. Our energy rates in California start at .23 a kilowatt hour, highest rates in the country. Disneyland is probably in Southern California Edison territory and unless they have a secret deal, their energy is expensive. Going LEDs in California has a very fast pay off, often 2-3 years with labor included.

Lighting choices can have a significant impact on the visual appeal and psychological well-being of the home environment.

Therefore, it is important to avoid some of the common erroneous lighting decisions that can make homes look unattractive and unpleasant. One of the common erroneous lighting decisions is using conventional lighting solutions, such as incandescent bulbs and halogens. However, these options have become outdated and undesirable for several reasons. First, they have higher emission levels and electricity consumption, which are harmful for the environment and the budget. Second, they have possibilities of vision impairment, as they can cause eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision.

Do You Need a Ballast for LED Lights?
Posted by Dara Greaney on 5/23/2017 to
LED Lights
What is a Ballast and Why They are Not Used in LED Lights
When light bulbs were a new invention, a device was placed within the bulbs. The purpose of this device was to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit. This device is known as a Ballast. If this was not used in the light bulbs and T8 light bulbs (tube Lights), there remained a risk of current rising to a destructive level. Ballast is still used in bulbs and tube lights to avoid current rise in the lights. Metal halide, mercury vapor, and HID are also the prime examples of lights using ballasts.
Today ballasts are going away in favor of LED Drivers.
