There is an increasing demand for Solar Street lights these days and for obvious reasons. One important reason is overall cost savings in the long run, and the other is efficient lighting. The solar LED light system as the name suggests converts energy from the sun into electricity and is easy to install and gives high intensity LED output. It is not necessary to switch on or switch off the solar LED’s light manually.… Read More
Light is crucial for vision. It bounces off objects and enters your eyes, which allows you to see. But sometimes, it’s the source of vision problems, like glare. The issue of glare is something most people deal with on a daily basis. From driving down a rainy highway late at night to trying to watch your favorite baseball team without squinting – the effects of glare can become an unpleasant and sometimes dangerous experience.… Read More
Batting cages are used by softball and baseball players to improve their ability to hit the ball. Both indoor and outdoor batting cages need lighting for night practice. Indoor batting cages are used in climates where seasonal weather does not permit such activity.
Lighting fixtures have become more than just a means to gain light. They are standard equipment capable of causing significant improvement in style and performance.… Read More
The lighting industry has long been dependant on glass and transparent plastics like acrylic resins for optics design to serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. However, with the advent of LED lighting technology, the necessity for a higher degree of light diffusion has required the development of suitable plastic solutions that do a much better job.
There are various kinds of plastic materials, and some are widely used for LED lighting fixtures, such as PC, PMMA, PS, etc.… Read More
Earlier this year, the Department of Energy published a report on LED failure that, among other things, found the lifetime claims for more than half of LED products to be inaccurate, or miscalculated.
Why is there so much bad information out there? Are manufacturers just fudging their claims, or are there other pieces to the puzzle?
Well, though we frequently stress the importance of vetting manufacturers, and manufacturer reps, a lot of this bad information just comes down to the industry adjusting to a new, still emerging and evolving lighting technology.
One of the benefits of the LED is its long lifetime. Because they have no movable parts or filaments that may break, LED’s can have long lifetime.
The light output from all light sources, LED, halogen, metal halide and fluorescent decreases over time. The amount of light from the light source at a specific time in the future is referred to as the lamp lumen maintenance factor, or LLMF.
Squash is an amazing sport to play as it is extremely challenging and very fast moving game.

For those who love squash, how to choose a comfortable squash court is the most important issue, the following mainly introduces some knowledge about squash courts.… Read More
In the past few years, with the emergence and popularization of long-term energy-saving lighting, people are increasingly interested in low energy consumption or 12v lighting. 12-volt is often used in DC voltage, so is 24-volt. 48-volt is a bit less common but is still widely applied in today’s DC voltage applications. Then in AC applications (the electricity supplied by the power company), 120-volt is the standard in U.S.… Read More
Lights can burn out quickly for a variety of reasons. The first thing to do if a bulb seems to burn out quickly is check the fixture it’s in. Light fixtures can wear out over time and develop wiring problems that cause the bulbs to fail early. If bulbs are repeatedly burning out quickly in the same light fixture, it’s probably the fixture.… Read More
All lamps and luminaires come with two key specifications: The Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and the Color Rendering Index (CRI). Both terms describe the output of a light source, and both have the word “color” in their name, but they actually refer to very different things.
CCT is a number, measured in degrees Kelvin, which helps to describe how warm or how cool a light source is.… Read More
