LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY & ENERGY-EFFICIENCY

 
 

When you visit us you'll see the lighting laboratory™ where you can learn about the differences among various light sources (referred to in the trade as lamps, not bulbs) and fixtures (referred to as luminaires). And you'll see some interesting (and surprising) energy-efficient products and lighting methods.

You'll see a wide variety of energy-efficient lamps (bulbs). Many people are used to seeing Compact-fluorescent lamps, but have you seen Electrodeless-compact-fluorescents? (They're much smaller, brighter, and longer-lasting than conventional compact-fluorescents.) Or Electronic fluorescents? Or Halogen-I.R.s? (They're the energy-efficient successor to halogens.) Or Metal-halide lamps? Or Krypton-filled incandescents? The list goes on, and we have them! We even do what's known in the industry as daylighting - daytime illumination using mirror-systems and lightpipes to bring natural light indoors.

You'll see what can be done by exploiting beam-control through the use of special lamp envelopes, reflectors, diffusers, louvers, Fresnel lenses, uniaxial lenses, and biaxial lenses. All of these are designed to do one thing: get light where it belongs.

Finally, you'll see some wonderful energy-saving options for lighting control. For example, occupancy-sensing dimmers that turn lights off if you forget. And full-control dimmers that allow dimming from multiple locations and "sunset" (slowly dim) lights when you are going to bed. Or daylight-compensating electronic timers that daily adjust "on" or "off" times for seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset.
