Why LED you ask?? In a world exploring every possible means of saving resources, LEDs have become the most preferred technology for lighting. Simply because, they are the most commercially viable, energy-efficient source of light. And they offer excellent design flexibility for all kinds of applications. Conventional fittings to Innovative Solutions, there is always a way one can use LEDs.

With upto 75%* energy savings compared to conventional light fittings, LED light fittings not only save your money but also the environment with an overall impact on carbon emission reductions and hence have a low carbon footprint. This is primarily due to high Lumen Output per watt of LEDs that result is amazing energy savings. LEDs are also free from Mercury or Lead making them safer for your household and better for the environment.

With a lifetime of upto 50,000 hrs*, LEDs are the ideal replacement solution for conventional fittings that are difficult and expensive to maintain and/or replace in some cases offering upto 25 times* the lifetime of a conventional fitting hence lowering replacement and maintenance costs. An additional benefit is that LED fittings are a solid state technology and are more reliable and durable compared to conventional filament based light technologies resulting in longer life-spans, thereby reducing or eliminating maintenance and replacement costs.

LEDs also offer a better flexibility in terms of lighting design and allows for imaginative thinking with regards to execution of a concept or project and with its ability to switch On and Off Instantly, you do not have to wait for your lights to Warm up for tens of minutes to reach basic to optimum lux levels (in some cases).

So… LED it is!

Selection of LED fitting

Selection of an LED fitting depends on various primary factors.

The questions you need to answer while installing or replacing an LED fitting are:

  1. What is the Area of Application?
  2. What is the minimum Lux Level required?
  3. What is the mounting height of installation?
  4. What is the Color Temperature CCT (Warm White, Day Light, Cool White) required?
  5. What is Present fitting installed (incase of replacement) or recommended type of fitting incase of new installation?
  6. Does it need to be dimmable/non-dimmable?

Depending on the area of Installation and the type of fitting, you need to determine the minimum lux level required (incase of any specific requirements) that determines the Wattage of a fitting based on its Lumen Efficiency and lux achieved on the floor based on the height of installation.

Once we have the above information, we can recommend which fitting is suitable for your area of application and its wattage, by calculating the minimum lux level from the required height.

In most of the cases, replacements are pretty straight forward and depending on the type of fitting, the wattages offered in LED are standard based on market requirements. For eg: An LED bulb for household purposes is usually 5W, 7W or 9W depending on how bright you want your corner to be.

The Wattages offered by us or any other supplier are usually based on One – to – One replacement to conventional fittings hence the wattages are reverse calculated and offered depending on the conventional fitting being replaced.

Points to note:

The Lumens per watt is highest for Cool White Color Temperature (6000-6500K) and reduces as you move along to Warm White Color Temperature (2500-3500K) for each fitting.

Incase you require dimmable fittings, you have to be specific in detailing your requirement as quite simply, everything changes. You also need to know if you require 1-10V Dimmable or DALI Dimmable fittings.

Decorative LED fittings like strip lights and wall washers are available in various colors and also in changeable colors, popularly known as RGB. You also need to see what kind of controls you need incase of changeable colors.

Incase of replacement, you need to identify the type of fitting along with the answers to the above questions that will determine the suitable LED fitting. Sure, we can help you with that too.
